It just occurred to me that there is a difference between feeds and streaming.
Am I going to be disappointed if they live stream and don't have a constant feed?
 
What? Bit confused what you’re asking.

It’s been confirmed by Mel, Sarah Thornton and Ten that the house will be viewable 24/7 via the 10 app and website. Albeit moderated and slightly delayed, we can likely anticipate the feed to be cut from time to time for censorship purposes (standard practice, and similar to the OG days) but it’s still expected they’ll be transmitting footage round the clock.

It won’t be a stream channel of the broadcast episodes on repeat, similar to what 7+ does. If that’s what you were suggesting.
 
On the stream, do we think we’ll get the uk style bird ambience when they’re discussing things that can’t be streamed or go back to the Aus style of “we can’t show you what’s going on in the house right now”?
 
By feeds, do you mean the old school official website text updates that paired with the online video stream? If so, eager Behind Big Brother members will be able to post their own streaming updates after Big Brother starts in the Fan Diary:

Thanks, given that a lot of promotional material has been hyping the 'live stream', it occurred to me that streaming TV is how the commercial networks try to compare themselves to streaming services which in my mind are 2 very different things. Maybe I have been remembering something different, from the promos?
 
I remember they used to have a diary where they would post what was happening in the house every 20-30 minutes which was great for Non Australians like myself who couldn't access the live feeds back in the old 10 days. That was actually a decent way of keeping up.
 
For some reason I thought the streams were on paramount? But def not? Just on standard 10 streaming service?

That's right. Paramount has never been mentioned or part of the equation since this revival was announced. Live stream on 10 via their FAST channels (with the first few days streaming on TikTok as well).

Does live stream have adverting breaks ?

On 10 from what i saw every 10-12 minutes. Around 2 minutes per break. But i changed to tiktok after one hour so dont know if that stayed that way.

The most annoying part was they seemed to make the commercials no matter what happened in the house, for example in the middle of the ranking game. I understand they have to do it but at least they should do it in the right moments and delay it shortly if something interesting is on.

First 3 days we have tiktok though.

Steamed TV apparently gains them much more ad revenue than FTA
I guess there able to target ad's based on user account data , a likely other algorithms are built in

I looked this up today. The live number still matter as FTA advertising brings in much higher revenue than streaming. BVOD is considered a bonus not the main revenue driver. Live numbers are still the metric for advertisers are most interested in unfortunately.

That said live numbers a network like 7 would consider moderate to low on 10 are still decent. That said 10 would still need something like 450K watching live to be considered successful.
