The future for Big Brother

What is going to happen after BB11 ?

So - Big Brother 11 really will be the last collaboration between Endemol and CH4

Endemol have been critical of CH4 and blame them for falling ratings.

I have read reports that Sky openly criticised Channel4's running of Big Brother and called for its cancellation.

This has generated rumours that Sky actually wants to bid for the rights to air Big brother in the future.

Can anyone shed further light on Big Brother's worrying future?

Stick on sky and then let us have the option to pay for live feed or even better give it to us free......then we can actually watch an unbiased account of events!

Can't see Sky taking it on, or anyone else for that matter.

you used to have to pay for the live stream years ago on the internet.

Better than no BB at all imo. But free is obviously a far better option.

No other channels will touch it, other than maybe Five.

I would pay a one off Live Feed subscription. I think a lot of people would.

We've had 10 years of the current format. Change is good.

The internet feed is the way to go. I really don't know why they aren't doing it this year, it can't be cost. They must be filming them 24/7 I assume to get material for the HLs.

I know and it's what's really annoying me about the whole thing.

Even BB1 had livestream internet fgs! It was for a cost of course on Realplayer I think it was...I think now the resaon for not providing it is to do with do-gooders and bloody complaints to offcom.

I can't think of any other reason?
