Channel Five interested in CBB
Per InsideBigBrother.net:
A spokesman for Channel Five has revealed that the broadcaster are “interested” in picking up the rights for Celebrity Big Brother.
This year’s series was the last ever one on Channel 4 after the corporation axed the show in August last year for “creative” reasons.
However CBB7 has been a ratings hit, averaging 3.3 million viewers to date. This is 300,000 up from CBB6’s average ratings for last year.
The success of this year’s series means that other broadcasters have shown an interest in acquiring the show.
Controller of Channel Five, Richard Woolfe told The Guardian: “Of course we’d be interested. What it’s absolutely shown is that we love to see celebrities facing jeopardy. There’s absolutely life in the Celebrity Big Brother format.”
Although Woolfe showed an interest in the Celebrity edition, he wasn’t too keen on the summer version of the show. “The main show probably needs to go away and be rejuvenated,” said Woolfe.
