BIG BROTHER BRINGS BACK LIVE FEED & GIVES 1000 FREE PASSES TO FANS

Channel 4 is to bring back 24 hour live streaming from the Big Brother House for its final series which starts on June 9th. The move will give viewers the ultimate reality experience, literally enabling them to follow the action in the house as it happens, around the clock.

Live streaming of the house (see notes below) will be accessible via the official Big Brother site www.channel4.com/bigbrother. Viewers will pay a small fee to access the footage; 49p for a day pass; £1.99 for a week pass; and £14.99 for a season pass for the whole 13 week series. The money generated through the sales of passes will cover some of the costs it takes to run the streaming.

As a nod to the fans who have watched and supported the show for the past ten years Channel 4 is giving away 1000 free season passes for the feed. The giveaway will begin at 7pm on Tuesday 8th June, the day before the show launches live on Channel 4. Fans will need to register on the official Big Brother website (channel4.com./bigbrother) at this time and if they are one of the first 1000 registrations received they will be given a free pass.

Channel 4 Commissioning Editor, David Williams said
"Years ago streaming on line was less popular due to the limitations of technology, however now we know that the vast majority of fans will have access to broadband and are very active online. This is a great way of Channel 4 giving the fans the all-access action that they want, and thanking them for following the show for the past eleven years. "

The live feed will start from the very first night (exact time TBC), once the new housemates are all in the house.

In addition to the online streaming there will be live streaming on television in the afternoons on E4 and overnight on E4 and Channel 4, as occurred for Celebrity Big Brother 7 in January. Other TV programming includes E4's ultimate fanzine show Big Brother's Little Brother and the late-night Big Brother's Big Mouth hosted by Davina following each live eviction.

OlderBlagger, you don't have the 'notes below' terms and conditions stuff, do you? I want to know is this exclusive to the UK or can I watch it too. I know I used to watch CBB streaming online years ago the Jade year but I need to be sure before spraying the walls with cum.

Oh **** right off.

It's 2010. What the hell is C4's problem with making it multinational? It's hardly a great technical undertaking.

[ILoveTRW]

£14.99 isnt that much, if i dont win the pass i will definitely be paying

[georgehudson]

What the ****?!
Im not paying for live feed, ****ing cheapskates.

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Why not available to the NON UK residents??

[ILoveTRW]

you have always had to pay to watch it over the internet for the recent series

I would suggest bombarding C4 with emails. It was available to non UK residents before. This is riddiculous.

Sorry, but they're right to impose such restrictions, BB's not a children's show (as I was saying to annoyed mums here and on D.S. complaining about the timeslot last year despite it being the show's natural and oldest home).

Anyway, told you

[Jack_]

I'd rather have to pay than have nothing at all. It is the last series after all, might as well.

[bansheewails]

Damn u BB, has ireland fallen off the face of the Map? :'(

Most television sites now restrict by country. Doesn't matter, someone will stream it internationally on justin or ustream always do.
