Just out of interest who feels it would be better off airing on itv?
It appears according to a report from the independent, bb could be occupying the graveyard slot on C5.

Then at 10.35 on ITV (main channel) they could repeat it.
Not sure if ITV are interested in it mind
They could air all LIVE shows on ITV, Daily Show at 9pm or 10pm on ITV2 and Live Feed and repeats on itvBe.
While on Channel 5 BBUK is quickly becoming very stale imo, it needs either the axe to fall or change of channel again ASAP.
Live from Australia really only meant that it was viable for an hour or so each day to most people.
I don't know if ITV would have a Live Feed for BB or not but I think it's slightly unfair to compare it to the IAC feed which had a different set of circumstances.
Even through the post at the moment ...
If it goes to ITV the entire cast of TOWIE will be on every BB.
The sad truth, although it's already spawning mould and way past it's sell-by.
It's as good as it's always been and I'm just glad we have it.
I agree with u.
Itv 2 could air it everyday at 9-10.
Itv could then repeat it at 10.35-11.35 (after the news)
Plus Launch night,final, evictions etc could all air on both Itv and itv 2.
Also the spin off shows could air on itv 2 at 10-10.35 then repeated at 11.35-12.10 after the itv showing.
I think Laura Whitemore would be a good host
As someone else said, its better being a big fish in a small pond; so if it was to move I'd want it to go to something like Sky Living (definitely not Sky1 as they'd make it all family friendly)
That way it can chunter along organically with less pressure on producers to manipulate the crap out of it in order to create big 'ratings events', and will, in all likelihood, be a better show for it.
The show is being slowly suffocated by the mucking about that has been going on the last few years. If putting it on outside of prime time or not on the prime channel means it can be left alone to "do it's thing" the way it used to in the beginning then I'm all for it.
The audience is already lower and marginalised, and there's been much muttering about how it's been the past year. Surely they can't want to go through that again.
Even the press don't bother much (and of course there isn't a direct link any more now Desmond's cashed in). So it's less forward in the public eye, lower audience figures again.
Shunting it off to a later time without changes will lower the audience further, and eventually kill it off (I suspect more in the short-term than long).
Without a major re-positioning to a different audience you have natural attrition anyway.
Look at the US, when they start fiddling about with the broadcast time of a programme, that's almost always the end. Especially if it's taken off prime time to some later slot.
If they don't make any changes other a schedule shuffle to the graveyard shift, then it's a perhaps not-so-slow decline.
ITV Be would be the most realistic, but I don't even get that channel in my bedroom, where I like to watch BB before bed so screw that. + that channel is just cheap and tacky, so low budgeted. Not saying 5 is any better but they're on their way for a change.
ITV wouldn't touch BB and I'm glad they wouldn't. Plus I'm a Celeb is far too similar, they already have their own BB - it just happens to be in a jungle. I don't think it should go to any multichannel, this is a show that needs a big budget and only the main broadcasters can provide that - oh and it should always remain FTA so Sky's out.
BB should end with C5, if it must come back then a good 5 year break is needed.
ITV has become a laughable channel especially in the reality tv area.
IACGMOOH has become very stale,and no it didnt kill the live feed because of Australian times..It killed the feed because they said it was not needed and too expensive..theres less chance of a live feed on ITV than pretty much any other channel.
They will also use it for an even stronger vehicle for their TOWIE show,lets not forget that was ITVs idea of reality tv to begin with and if you think its bad how 5 use those types just imagine the type of hms you will have on ITV.
Also who will host it?
Allison Hammond? Holly Willoughby?
Maybe even the mr bias of BB Dermot Oleary himself?
The show is fine where it is.
C5 is currently the best home for the show.
It needs simply to rethink its structure and Endemol to get their act together.
BB has failed across the world this year..BBUSA was pathetic,BB15 was a mess and BBAUS has lost the plot.
That tells me that Endemol need a massive wake up call,in Australia they are all saying BB needs to go back to channel 10 but people need to realise its Endemol at fault not just the channels it broadcasts from.
ITV would be bad because of its choises in hms and the zero chance of a livefeed but Endemol UK would still be pulling the strings..it is they that thought up the power theme thats been so disasterous,it is them that create the tasks,that do the editing...with c5 we have seen they were up for a partial live feed with BB14..They need to be convinced that was a good move and they need to expand on that..but dont for one second think that by BB moving channels that the show will go back to what we knew BB was like..that is hugely down to Endemol and the same team will be there no matter what channel it goes to.
But BB Canada was amazing, had really good ratings and was picked up to go onto a bigger channel for the next series. So not bad everywhere. That version is like the US version but with a few BB international type twists.
I do think Endemol has been very lazy with BB in general this year and they as well as the channels need to remember that its not just a gameshow .
.In Australia they removed the feed last year and now they have started removing daily shows so its only on 4 times a week...that side of it is clearly the channel so the fault is not just with Endemol but I do think Endemol is responsible for much of the reasons we complain about the show currently.
I personally think the reason BB has been failing in most countries is because they don't do what BB Canada does. The Canadian series gets the viewers involved and engages them to participate. Even if their involvement is mostly illusionary. Then it allows them to see the repercusions of their decisions with a mostly free 24/7 livefeed. On the website they even put a game within the game for viewers.
The UK and US versions are almost archaic now in their approach to Big Brother. What twists they do come up with seem to be ill thought out and they generally seem to be pleased if they manage to generate 5 minutes as a trending topic on twitter. Instead of innovating, like you would think a UK or US production would do, they instead seem to be stuck doing what they were doing 3 years ago. It's kind of embarrasing really.
I don't even think BB Canada does it that well.
