no live feed via red button or 24/7 E4 !!!!

Uh-oh, do we smell another complaints drama coming on? This morning we revealed that Channel 4 are ditching the red button from the forthcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother, meaning that, for the first time, viewers won’t be able to watch a live feed of the show. And now fans of BB are absolutely furious that they won’t get to see the action as it unfolds, and will instead have to rely on the daily highlights shows. Some devotees are even threatening to boycott the show unless the bods at Channel 4 change their minds. “You can feel the viewing figures dropping already with that news,” writes one fan. “They are bricking it and letting the PC brigade and the saddos who complain to OFCOM on a regular basis win.” Another adds, “They just lost another viewer, then. Way to go, C4 – alienate the hardcore fans” and “What an absolute load of rubbish. The live feed was the only way of knowing what actually goes on rather than the edited version they want you to see. Was getting excited about the upcoming series but all that has just gone out the window.” Oh dear. Now, we can see why BB have made this decision, as if any more dodgy Shilpa-type dramas unfold, they would have a lot more time to deal with their strategy without fans sniffing out a drama within seconds of the live feed cutting off, but it does seem a shame. What do you make of it – will you miss the live feed? And do you think BB are doing us a disservice by getting rid of it?
