No US station has picked up BB Canada to broadcast in the US. Why would Slice (a Canadian channel who wants to give free live feeds out to Canadians) go to the effort of signing a deal with Superpass so a tiny handful of Americans can watch them? Especially when they'll likely be recorded and tossed on youtube :P

They only make money from Superpass buying the rights to distribute the live feeds. Why would Superpass want to buy the rights when the huge majority of the viewership will have access to the live feeds for free?

BUT, BBCANADA is being played on SPLICE, which isn't a basic channel right? I't's my understanding that Splice is basically like the Canadian version of Bravo...
Bravo is not a major station in the US eigther, so why couldn't they put it on Bravo??

BB Canada is not on the major networks like CBC or CTV or Global...it's on a cable station. It's on the same cable station that plays the Real Housewives shows...

Umm, Alex; BB Canada could air on Showtime 2. Bravo can't air BB Canada because Bravo is owned by NBC and Showtime 2 is (somewhat) owned by CBS.

wait, so then who owns Slice? cause it's clear that Slice is almost exactly like Bravo. And why was BBCANADA sold to an NBC owned channel to begin with? ANd is SLice owned by the same company as Global? cause Global shows BBUSA in canada right?

this is all very confusing.

The company that owns Global owns Slice. CBS and Shaw Media (Owner of Global and Slice) have an agreement to air BBUS on Global and BB:After Dark on Slice (used to air on Global Reality). So basically, BB Canada wasn't sold to NBC to air on Bravo.

but Slice also airs Real Housewives of VANCOUVER, , which is a show that started on Bravo. So if Slice and Bravo can make a deal to show real housewives, why can't they make a deal to show Big Brother?

It's not confusing at all: hardly any Americans know about nor will they care about BB Canada. Simple as that.

Because Bravo has nothing to do with CBS, who hold the rights to Big Brother in the US. You'll be able to watch it just like we'll be able to watch it - just takes a little bit of effort.

Anyway, watch this and enjoy.

The House is amazing - Looks like a mix of BBUK/US.

It's ironic how Canadians online have always outspokenly said they wished they had BBUK in their country because they hate the US one.

Then they finally get their own series, and it's a replica of the USA one

Canada averages around 1.6 million viewers each episode of BBUSA. Probably a few hundred if that are into BBUK from clips on youtube. It's kind of a no brainer we'd get a USA version unfortunately :/

It's predictable how you have always outspokenly exaggerated how much <demographic> loves BBUK and hates BBUS and now you're doing it again. Holy **** you're relentless

You say this as if Canadian's held a referendum to chose which version they wanted. Big Business made this decision for us.

Because online Canadians represent the entire nation .
I'm so glad they're following the USA format, I couldn't be doing with a Canada TOWIE/BB rip off on top of the one C5 gives us already.

Live TV link for BB Canada which was posted to Jokersupdates.com:

http://www.bigbrotherarchive.com/wp/tv-live-stream/

Apparently you might be able to watch livestream from there also...
