‘Big Brother’: CBS Delays Show’s Start – Blames WGA Strike
Big Brother, on CBS, is known for Julie Chen, its heated competitions and live feeds. But, it won’t be starting until August 2, a whole month later than its usual kick-off. It seems CBS is playing a waiting game with the current Writers Guild of America (WGA) Strike.
WGA Strike Throws Big Brother and CBS for a Loop
It seems like CBS has been caught on the hop by the ongoing WGA strike. So, with no end to the strike in sight, and fall programming likely to be hit hard, the network has been forced to rethink its strategy. So, reruns or reality shows, that’s the question.
And it seems CBS is throwing its weight behind reality television – one way to keep viewers hooked without having to fork out the hefty paychecks demanded by the writers. You can find out more about the WGA Strike here.
CBS Betting Big on Reality Shows Like BB25
In a move that’s likely to ruffle a few feathers, CBS is turning to reality television to save the day. So, with the strike causing chaos, the network is bulking up its reality show roster with shows like Big Brother season 25 (BB25).
Also, in the cards are “super-sized” episodes of Survivor and The Amazing Race. And even more reality action with Season 2 of The Challenge: USA and Season 3 of Secret Celebrity Renovation. And all of this, mind you, is going to air alongside Big Brother to keep your screens buzzing.
If the season started in early July like usual, we’d already be hearing casting rumors by now #bb25 pic.twitter.com/poYI1bJW7F
