C4 don't care if this BB bombs. They just want out.
Hi Neil 
Yeah, course I'm gutted. And I cannot wait til C4 lets BB go.
I've said it before, apologies if you've seen me post this, but in case you haven't... I don't think its a financial thing... I think its about Channel 4 repositioning its brand... and not wanting BB to be synonymous with Channel 4. (this was then further supported when another fm posted that they had heard CH4 was pitching itself to BBC world service ).
I am still going to watch, whether or not I continue to watch will depend on whether I like or really really dislike any of the housemates.
To be honest... it won't be the same... but my other side BB interest is a bit of a flutter, and on that side of things.. no live feed will probably make it easier for me to predict public opinion. the vast voting public don't seem to be hardcore live feed viewers anymore... more casual highlight show viewers.
Sadly I don't think the lack of live feed this year will, on its own, make much of a dent in the phoneline revenue.

I get the impression that the people behind BB are not likely to give in to pressure.
I did a little LUTing last year.
You Neil and your LUTing colleagues deserve a lot of thanks.

at work i relied on the LUT but maybe it was a case of we knew too much in advance ..... but other side is we only see what they want us to see

thanks brisket I remember you doing it you did a good job.
I don't know if the LUT would be the same here even of we got the LF back but it would have been good to find out and have a 24/7 LUT again.
I will take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved with the LUT weather a seasoned pro like angel or someone who made the occasional post.
Not forgetting of course the LURKers and a special thanks to the doctor for the fantastic stats
I think that is why we have no LF plus closing the CH4 Forum I really believe this will be the last one.quote:Originally posted by greenandpink:

With Ch4 it may be Marge... but, the other channels aren't stupid... they know there is a demand... and Big Brother was one of Channel 4's biggest earners. Someone will apply to use the format.. guaranteed.
Personally I hope Sky have a bash at it. I also dearly hope that whoever takes it on... doesn't bother with a 'handover mentoring' from Ch4, and just runs with it.
The beauty of Big Brother is they have so many other countries Big Brothers to take inspiration from !

I agree totally... I think C4 are just going through the motions now and don't give a hoot about the show at all, hence them not wanting to waste any more time and effort than they have to on it. It's not really about money as they probably made a few quid from the LF subscriptions.
I think it will be last one too but don't think the C4 forum closing was anything to do with BB they closed all the C4 forums.
funny thing is I miss the C4 news forum far more than the C4 BB forum as the GAGA BB forum is far better

no, but read whatm (same as lut)
not watching without live feed
someone else should take it
since the live feed is still being produced just not transmitted i reckon it could come back as the headless chickens run out of things to blame for the abject failure of the show.
they might as well cancel it, its as good as dead without a live feed because its no longer big brother.
