What's the betting there have already been discussions with Phones4U?
Oh, please not! Can't stand the thought of that "Phones4U" bloke cropping up every ad break.
Orange would be my best bet.

I don't think C4 will be too bothered by the Carphone Warehouse dropping their sponsorship - they'll probably end up with a better deal elsewhere.

I hope Weetabix sponsor it but bring back the scarecrow.Or Yorkshire Tea sponsor it but bring back the animated Yorkshire people who are all on the box.Anything with good adverts would do!

Well Orange have pulled out of talks to sponser BB8

Virgin Media are in 'secret' talks to sponsor the show - and it would actually be quite a good match, I think.
:-(
If that does go through, will Virgin offer BB streams on VM, and on the Virgin Mobiles?
Did NTL ever have the red button to a stream for BB Live?

Virgin would be a good sponsor - though I never get how the press can claim companies are in "secret talks" if they've found out about them!
I know Telewest could in recent series get the live stream - not sure about NTL, though last year NTL customers (and anyone else who found it) could watch the live feed via the NTL website.
It's the Video on Demand content here which would be interesting though - C4 is the TV station pushing it most and Virgin are the service provider pushing it most.
The main Big Brother programmes and it's various spin-offs would all be made available anyway, but what this could do is pave the way for additional on-demand content to be available via Virgin Media such as the shorter clips that appear on the website.
I imagine though there are rules relating to all this if Virgin sponsored Big Brother - ironically it might be more difficult for them to launch a wealth of Big Brother content exclusive to VIrgin than if they didn't sponsor the show.

How come everyone knows about them then?
I'm glad Guardian Media Group don't run MI5/MI6

From Teletext:
Now, when exactly did she apologise? Danielle and Jade did, but all we've heard from Jo is how CBB ruined her life!

Big Bro's O'Meara 'moving on'
Jo O'Meara stepped out in public for the first time since the Big Brother race row when she went to a gala performance in aid of BBC Comic Relief.
Arriving at London's New Wimbledon Theatre, the former pop star - accused of bullying fellow housemate Shilpa Shetty - said: "I've apologised, but nothing racist went on in the house.
"It's time for me to move on, and concentrate on getting back to work."

Yeah, contradicting herself a bit there. Last I saw her she was in floods of tears, rocking back and forwards threatening to kill herself.
