Why no live feed?

[David H]

Why have I'm a Celebrity and Big Brother stopped their live feed? I often found it was far more interesting than the highlights, and with digital surely there's enough capacity?

CH4 BB stopped live transmission years ago. Never seen Im a Celeb live tran..

yup the last live i'm a celeb was in 2004 if i remember right

I though I'm a Celeb stopped a few years ago- due to the time they were active during our overnight and had a few hours on ITV2 where BB housemates were all snoring (but still covered). I know BB left it online a short time after stopping it but surely it was worth keeping on as far more happened then than the main programmes, eg real conversations.

I'm grateful not to have more of it on TV than there is at the moment - there's too much airspace given to this sort of show as it is.

something to do with BB switching to Channel 5?

I don't know anything about the programmes that you are looking for - but are they on this list?

BB stopped it a couple of years before it left C5, it used to be on E4 for a few hours in the day and all night. ITV had it on ITV2 half the night as well. They had a year or so when the BB feed went online (bear in mind it had an online free live feed from possibly even day one in 2000 as I used to watch them) and even that went which uses no airtime or much added cost at all besides the editors having to censor it the whole time 'sound has been switched off for a while, sometimes the housemates say something which is about a person or may not be legal' etc...
