Channel 4 in Britain have axed their “Celebrity Big Brother” show after being confused of intentionally dumbing down its content.
The Celebtity Big Brother’s Director of television Kevin Lygo had the following to say in a statement.
“It is time to be brutal with some much-loved shows in order, once again, to make way for the new,”
“Our ratings will almost certainly continue to fall, but the alternative is more of the same and that is not what the channel is about.”
There are rumours that the government may actually sell Channel 4 as speculation continues over its uncertain future.
In a somewhat scandalous past for the show they had thousands of viewer complaints after Indian actress Shilpa Shetty was reportedly abused by her fellow houseguests.
Channel 4’s head of programs Julian Bellamy says the carefully considered decision to actually drop Celebrity Big Brother will make room for 29 hours of new programs.
“These are the decisions of a public service broadcaster in search of the new and the exciting,”
An internal enquiry earlier this month found problems with their premium rate phone-in competitions going back to 2004
