Big Brother on Channel 5 will not have a 24-hour live feed, according to digital director James Tatam.

Channel 5 and producer Endemol are instead working closely with mobile agency Mobile Interactive Group on a Facebook app that will have real-time news, extra video content and the ability to vote out housemates online.

Fans will be able to eliminate contestants using Facebook Credits, according to New Media Age.

Tatam apparently confirmed in the interview that plans for a 24-hour live feed have been shelved in place of a stream of video highlights on the Facebook page.

They should have just left it buried last year. I'm not even on Facebook and have no intention of joining just for that. It looks like they are aiming at the teenage group. I mean all ages watch it

I've never subscribed to any live feed. only an early series when live streams were 'hacked' and given out for all to use.

but I know that the live feed is one of, if not 'the' biggest thing about Big Brother.

I paid for it last year and it made such a difference as well. Desmond has shot himself in the foot before he even started. You would think that he would have made the fans happy and got them back on board as he would want to get the ratings but he is making a really bad mistake before he even starts

Isn't there such a thing as 'facebook credit hack'? that will be interesting in how we decide who gets voted out and who wins this year :)

If someone mentions their facebook/myspace/whatever social stupid site to me. I just blank them :)

I just want live feed but we wont be getting it. He should have not bothered buying it from Endomol if that was his plan only showing bits of it. :mad::mad::mad: and then to add insult to injury putting Jedward in the house as well

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 
So, apart from the voting out via facebook bit, Channel 5 are providing almost exactly what Channel 4 did on their own website?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 
Yep looks like it. I think but not to sure if Channel 5 are going to even give the bit of live feed that channel 4 gave us. Nothing is really very clear yet :(:(:(

No one's ever provided the live feed for the 'celebrity' version though have they?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 
I remember live feed for the celeb one when Jade was in it. The year after that the live feed was cut for the celeb and the ordinary one
