Was hoping since 'big brother' was moving hands, was also hoping the rights and airings of the US version would also go to FIVE (to air on FiveUSA likely but still..)

No such joy though

Dear Correspondent

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding Big Brother.

Unfortunately, we have no plans to acquire the broadcast rights to any foreign versions of this programme. We are sorry to disappoint you on this occasion.


Such a shame :P FiveUSA could do with more content other than being the CSI channel

Aww that is such a shame! I think it really would of worked on Five USA. I watch it online, but would rather watch it on TV.

I also emailed C4 to see if they had any plans to show BBUSA on E4 like before, and i knew the answer would be no but still wanted to give it a shot... But i was right they have no plans either to broadcast it

CBS Reality might be your best bet.

Although, I have a feeling that any channel other than 5 doing the full Big Brother 'thing' might be a breach of the contract.

CBS reality should be the natural home to view all previous seasons of BBUSA. But no such joy.

They show endless, ancient episodes of Judge Judy instead. Incidentally, I saw Zach (BB8) sitting in the audience for a couple of those shows.

It should also be the home to Survivor and TAR. CBS make the best reality shows and I've been waiting show yonks for them to them on UK TV (beyond 2 seasons of BBUS and a few of TAR).

I think its all down to licensing and that C5 own the rights to 'Big Brother' in general.

I dont think it would take much for CBS reality though to air it, unfortunatly most the shows on the list are lazily-gained ones and none with any real punch.
