In an update to our
earlier post, Behindbigbrother has learnt that executives at Network Seven have been busy this morning holding internal discussions into the possibility of taking on the show.
Were told that executives at the network are extremely interested in negotiating with Southern Star Endemol the possibility of locking in the show for 2009 and/or beyond. The meetings this morning included discussions on the highest possible price the network could bid for the show, potential hosts and producers, possible audience loss/gain and other minor details.
Possible hosts for the show include those currently featured on the show but not contracted to Ten, such as Fitzy and Bree. Hosts such as Mike Goldman have contracts with Ten, not SSE.
If Seven were to take over the show their current planning would see the compound remain at Dreamworld along with all evictions and live content.
All shows would be split across Sevens three channels - 7 Digital, 7HD, and 7SD2. The daily shows would be situated at 7:30pm following the networks flagship
Home & Away.
Official discussions between SSE and Seven cannot occur until at least July 22 - when BB08 wraps up.
The Seven Network and Network Nine both declined to give Behindbigbrother any official comment.
