Re: Virgin Media may sponsor BB8
One quick question - Why? 
If they want to sponser a 'mainstream' prog - couldn't they find something better!?!
Ideas?

Re: Virgin Media may sponsor BB8
It's got to be worth a go.
Perhaps they could show VOD on the internal screens...

Re: Virgin Media may sponsor BB8
Maybe it would be a tester for interactive services, maybe they could have a first look show though on demand, and multiscreen options and various other stuff.

Re: Virgin Media may sponsor BB8
Orange don't think it'll be good for them!!
Quote:
Orange has reportedly rejected plans to sponsor the next series of Channel 4's Big Brother after staff objected to the deal.
The mobile provider was approached by Channel 4 to sponsor the show after Carphone Warehouse dropped its £3 million sponsorship last month, following the Celebrity Big Brother controversy in January, which led 40,000 viewers to complain about the reality show.
Orange asked its 12,000 UK staff for their views on the potential deal, but according to The Independent, staff have strongly opposed the idea.

Re: Virgin Media may sponsor BB8
Surely they can find a better way to spend our money. Big Brother is a load of trash.

And you'd know! 
Seriously though - trash it may be, but it is channel 4's most sucessful programme of all time. If you want to get your brand under the nose of C4 viewers, it is the best option.

I dont think it would be that interesting. Only people on here really pay much attention. Unfortunatley there are some really bad SKY fanboys who just take it too far. Most subs arent gonna be bothered

Re: Virgin Media may sponsor BB8
This would be a very good idea! It may make us able to have Big Brother on VOD and loads of extras aswell
