I was just reading on the sun forum and someone put this. Sorry for it being so long. But just incase you don't want to read it, from what I make out it is now an arguement between Ch4 and Endemol on how to tell us its coming back. Not sure how reliable this is, so don't shoot me.
According to IBB
"An insider, Jacob claimed earlier on Inside Big Brother that after a successful meeting the live feed will return to the red button. Two more sources - mrmarky and Stentionhouse - also said the same thing on separate websites."
Update:
It is all getting very confusing. Here is a rundown of what has happened today.
Firstly, shortly after 4pm the first reports that the meeting had been successful were posted on Digital Spy by mrmarky, an insider who has posted reliable information in the past.
Shortly afterwards another two sources who have previously provided reliable information appeared to back up the news that the live “red button” feed would be reinstated, but it would be a few days before it could be put into place.
Separate, unconfirmed, sources suggested that despite the huge number of complaints received over the axing of the live feed, and Endemol’s concern these complaints were from the fans of the show, not the critics, C4 were refusing to re-evaluate their decision, which led to Endemol issuing an ultimatum - reinstate the live feed or we’ll pull the series.
Another unconfirmed rumour is that Endemol left the meeting believing the live feed would be reinstated, but senior bosses at C4 then over-ruled the decision.
A number of people have contacted C4 since the rumours first leaked, and their official line is still that there will be no increase in live coverage and that the red button feed won’t be returning.
However, later this evening more sources from within Endemol have come forward to say the live feed will be reinstated, but it will not be officially announced until everything is in place for it to happen, which will take a few days.
Later speculation implied there could be disagreement about how to announce it’s return, with C4 wanting Endemol to handle it, but Endemol believing it is up to C4 to face the humiliation of admitting they were in the wrong and that they had underestimated the importance of the live feed to the fans.
