step one remove choice of cameras.

step 2 give away free live feed on the internet to virgin media customers

step 3 due to a drop in the people paying for live feed when VM custimers got it free cut internet LF.

step 4 cut LF though the day.

step five is still to come but it will be either completely cut LF or cancel the show.

C4 has had enough of the OFCOM complaints and wants to either control the show completely or cancel it they don't care which.

Dear [name ommited],

Thank you for your E-Mail querying the availability of the red button interactivity on this year's "BIG BROTHER".

The red button 24-hour streaming facility was discontinued prior to the last series of "CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER" and we have no plans to reintroduce this service for the current edition of BIG BROTHER.

The main reason behind this decision is that we've found the number of viewers choosing to use the red button facility has dropped significantly and more and more viewers chose to watch the clips provided on the official "BIG BROTHER" (and other) websites.

So we have shifted our resources to cover these areas and have new fanzones, on Twitter and Facebook as well as our own site, and we'll also be working extensively with partners such as Bebo,Youtube and MSN to deliver footage to "BIG BROTHER" fans to keep them fully upto date with what's happening in the house.

However, live streaming will be available on both E4 and Channel 4 latenight/early morning and we will be showing all the other great shows that make up the "BIG BROTHER" experience, like "BIG BROTHER'S LITTLE BROTHER" and "BIG BROTHER'S BIG MOUTH".

Britain is the ONLY country broadcasting BB that doesn't have live feed.

Utter tosh.

It's so obvious that LF was popular! So many FM's updated and informed those of us without the live facilities as to
what really was happening/said/going on.

How many times did you (or I) read a thread that exposed the BB 9pm broadcast as totally manipulated and
deceiving?

What a crock!

And if they do, then so be it.
Yeah, it'd cause upset and uproar but the truth would be more palatable in the long run.

I've watched it since BB1 and it HAS changed.
I probably preferred the earlier series, but that's just my personal preference.

If Ch4 feel it's run its course then they should have the decency to say so; especially as they have been supported by so many viewers over the years.

thank you for your Email reguarding the red button and live streaming,
we stopped this option last year, because it seems that the people we selected from the GBP to enter the house malfunctioned and began behaving like....well..like people,
and as the live stream WAS live...and it did stream..well,..sometimes, into REAL peoples homes
it turns out that SOME well..one or two of the malfunctioning human beings that we installed in the house began to form opinions, and use words
SOME of the opinions were...a bit..you know..."iffy" and a few of the words bordered on "well dodgy"
eventualy some of the "words" and opinions" lead to the inevitable "actions" and as the aforementioned live feed was STILL live, ordinary "people" got to hear AND SEE some of these words and actions,
and we cant have that happeneing again now CAN we?
so in order to prevent any chance of these "words" or "opinion" or even god forbid "actions" getting into "ordinary" peoples homes we have cancled it,
sorry...off you go...dont forget to vote now....mind how you go,
