DS Article

I think it was always unlikely that ITV or C5 would pick it up - they simply don't have the cash at the moment.

As for Sky: Stuart Murphy's comments don't sound as dismissive as DS imply:
"We talk to Endemol all the time but aren't discussing Big Brother with them."
To me, that does not rule out a deal in the future. Remember: whatever happens, there won't be a BB series with a new broadcaster until 2011 at the earliest.

My best guess at the moment? BB will turn up on a new channel (possibly Sky) in a new format without public voting - esentially along the lines of BB USA...

Oh bugger, I've just switched from Virgin to Sky. Mad

I think if either company win the rights they will want the other company to air it also, as they do Sky1 and Sky news etc. They would want to show advertisers the potential viewership in order maximise advertising revenue. Nod

Yeeughh, I hated the USA version. It's crap without the public vote. If Sky don't take it (and bring it back to basics) I'd rather it just died the death.

If Virgin did bid for it, surely it would just go on the Virgin1 channel, which is available on Sky anyway...
