Surely if other channels are expressing their interest C4 would think that there's still life in the format themselves, and would want to offer Endemol more money so that they can keep it?

C4's "creative renewal" bollocks

I think C4 knew there would be a spike of popularity in the final year

Hm, Im not sure. I dont think they expected ratings to pick up by 1m since the summer, and i think that they will soon be regretting the decision to axe the BB franchise as a whole. I wonder what they will do after the summer...

I can't see whatever they're going to replace it with doing any better anyway. It'll probably be another reality TV show just in a different format anyway, something like Unanimous or Space Cadets. Either way, it's unlikely that it'll be the 'next big thing'.

They can not
as 5 years ahead of Booked places and Shows are now to be on.

So Big Brother has been rubbed out by Ch4 (who are bankrupt)

C4 will be even more bankrupt when all of their other shows fail. Dont they get profit from the votes? Without a reality show and no phone votes, they will be in more trouble possibly?

Yes it will get harder at Ch4.

The Bloated BBC will not share it's Mega Cash.
Blame them Fuuuckers.

Five would be great.

BBLB/BBBM/Live could be shown on Fiver.

With Sky1, it's kinda limited because of the shows they have.

I suppose.

But Five is best because it's a terrestrial channel.

Sky will ruin it.

As long as there's an internet feed with decent web site with news. The internet is an integral part of Big Brother now.

No live feed needed as CBB proved

Twitter feed was sufficient

I don't agree really as twitter is a very restricted view, you only know what someone tells you. You can't really enjoy the tasks on twitter. But I'm thinking even more about the summer series. It's important that Endemol's manipulation is cut back and the audience can judge for themselves more.

Live feed is edited and you only see what they want you to see ...

It is, but you can still get a general impression of someone by seeing them and hearing them say things. Twitter won't give you any of that expression behind words and actions.

Maybe, I mean tbh I was against this whole BB Twitter Live **** when it was made but I love it now.
I spent the last 3 Weeks off School and the Bus Rides, on my phone on Twitter reading BBLive.

Made the day go quicker and now Im gona be so bored now without it

Zippy · 31-01-2010, 06:39 PM

Nobody watches Sky.

Theyll just spoil its memory.

georgehudson · 31-01-2010, 08:06 PM

I saw in the papers that its going to Watch or Five so Sky could do a deal with Five or something

*mazedsalv** · 31-01-2010, 08:43 PM

I miss LF 24/7 so much, but lets not turn this thread to a LF discussion, i really hope they bring it back for the last series.

Anyways, I reckon C5 should get it, even though its seen as a "tacky" channel. Most of their shows are flopping compared to other channels,a nd they have no flagship show (Flashforward was a hit though, especially in the first 3 weeks). They need a flagship show, they would want BB. They will put 100% effort in it because they need a show for the channel that pulls ratings in.

But now C4 will lose their own flagship show, they only have the cooking channels and Location, Location... they pull in the biggest viewers after BB.

But C5 have no show they are known for. They will desperately want to have a hit.

Shasown · 31-01-2010, 09:20 PM

It would be good if FIVE did take on BB, with highlights etc on 5 itself and one of their subsidary channels, FIVER or FIVEUSA, being given over to live feed.
