they will probably keep Endemol as a separate production company, then it can produce programs for anyone. The current ratings on C5 are pretty meaningless as its a completely different viewership on ITV. ITV could give it a very big boost if they chose to host it.

Also, doesn't emma do a lot of things on itv? They could probably bring her on with relative ease.

ITV produce University Challenge for the BBC, it's not that uncommon

I think we can take it as something itv may want in the future

For BB to have a long term future, realistically it needs a rest of at least a couple of years.

ITV needs BB and then go brainstorming on ideas how to try and make it successful again

but of course they can Always just broadcast CBB, just for harmless fun and entertainment i guess

[DanielM787]

They are also other potential Intrests from other channels so they might want the show

[JoshBB]

YAS.

It'd fit into ITV2's schedule really well, since they air Love Island during Summer, they could put BB on during Autumn-Winter. And honestly, they'd treat the show a lot better than Channel 5 has.

If this is true, and they are interested in having the BB format, Endemol should definitely take the opportunity.

ITV2, CBB in January, Love Island June-July, BB August-October I'd be okay with this or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself

It would be great! And it means we don't have 2 CBB per year (which is just overkill)

that would be great, almost an entire year of good shows then

then we'd have IAC November-December

[Aaliyah]

Honestly this doesn't mean they'd take over Big Brother though, people are getting way ahead of themselves.

[saiwong]

It would be interesting if BB moves to ITV2...

Big Brother started on Channel 4
then moved to Channel 5

now there is a possibility to be on ITV2 (i.e. channel 6)

[Greg!]

Paddypower is offering odds of 4/6 that BB will air on an ITV channel.

I would be worried ITV would try and morph BB moreso into Love Island than it already is, honestly :/

If anything, they’ll do the opposite. They’ll want to make sure BB is as far differentiated from Love Island so they don’t ruin each other, basically with overexposure of the same type of show. It might also be 1 of the reasons they actually take it, to avoid someone like Channel 4 taking it and putting it against Love Island.

ITV will make sure they aim BB towards a different market, such as a broader range of age demo’s, and focus on the reality and game side of things, while Love Island is aimed towards younger viewers with a focus on relationships etc

itv actually has Davina under their wing too

I'm over Davina tbh. Emma does a good job

well get you!

If ITV snatches it I hope it's on ITV2.

ITV1 would turn into a family show like XF and IAC with all the censorship.

And I don't think they'll morph it into another Love Island when the only reason C5 did that (or tried to) is because BB aired the same time Love Island did and rated terribly in comparison.

If they're both on the same channel, they won't clash or feel the need to mimic LI because it's not on a rival channel.

I wonder how Love Island/Big Brother back to back (I.e on at the same time but ones on at 9PM and ones on at 10PM) would do bc you’ve got the love island girlies still watching

[Headie]

I’d be here for them getting the rights to it but only if they rest it for 5-10 years. No one will be interested in it atm regardless of what channel it’s on and the ratings would still be dire.

Perhaps if they brought it back when the Love Island interest/popularity starts to decline

[storybrooke]

This is so exciting, would love to see it on an ITV channel
