Confirmed Big Brother is ending after next series

Channel 4 have confirmed that next years Big Brother will be the final series with Channel 4.

Channel 4 Director Kevin Lygo said "We will not be continuing with Big Brother. Next year will be the last series for Channel 4. There will be a celebrity version, plus the regular one. We've decided it's time to move on. Big Brother is still profitable for Channel 4 despite its reduced popularity and there could have been the option to renew it on more favourable terms. That’s what a purely commercial broadcaster would have done, but Channel 4 has a public remit to champion new forms of creativity."

This series of Big Brother has been the lowest rated yet only pulling in 2 million viewers every night.

ITV have expressed interest in taking over Big Brother. Im sure there manage to ruin the show somehow.

I will miss Big Brother but I think it's time to move on. We've seen everything already what else can they do ? This years Big Brother i've not been into that much at all normally im addicted to the show but it's just not that interesting anymore.
