21st Century Fox owns a good stake of both Sky and Endemol, and Disney's about to buy all three..... I'm thinking Sky might be a good choice.

Well thank you, Kingston. I'm sure Sky will have plenty of high profile programming. (Unless, of course, Sky gets bought by Comcast.)
Anyway, Big Brother is too expensive for BBC (the prize budget would have to drop dramatically, as it's being funded by license fees; and offering 250-thousand quid would turn it into a very uneven lottery of sorts). If it stays with Channel 5 (and not in "its current form"), then I think it might be a shift to a North American system of evictions. No more money spent on keeping those Internet and phone lines open, some money saved on accounting, maybe even less daily shows.
The North American format hasn't been tried anywhere else in the world and I think there is a good reason for that.

I think the fact they haven't aired the regular summer series yet says everything that is required about C5's interest in it. Even if they were staying out of the way of Love Island not having it in place to launch immediately off the back of Love Island shows the move wasn't about protecting ratings. There are 3m viewers who'd be looking for something to watch on Tuesday at 9pm and C5 have dropped the balls completely.
CBB worrying about clashing with I'm a Celeb is like a school sports day worrying about clashing with the Olympics.

I've been rewatching BBUK 5 (2004) and holy shit, the whole season is like a huge screaming match throughout the whole house.
