New Bake Off line up confirmed

Can Channel 4 potentially in the future obtain rights to the other Love Production shows that featured on BBC2? (Daytime potential perhaps?)

A couple of ideas in my mind such as:

Junior Bake Off - could be aired on More4 if necessary but it would make sense to put it on the main channel, like ITV did with The Voice and The Voice Kids
The Great British Sewing Bee - Probably not a huge ratings success but could do well enough.
Bake Off spin-off show for More4 - I know they have An Extra Slice but another spin off show (BBC had Crème de la crème).

TBH, I'm happy with anything they produce for daytime as long as we don't have to see Cheap Cheap Cheap again.

I think of course they could, but not all of them are the blockbusters GBBO are, and I think Love have patched up the relationship with the BBC after the damage done by the move. That would have been helped by signing a new deal for Bake Off: Creme De Le Creme. Still find it weird GBBO and an official spin off using the Bake Off brand are on different channels.

Did Channel 4 get Junior Bake Off as well or is that staying with CBBC? Wiki (yes I know) suggests its series 5 is due to air in November this year.

This article suggests Channel 4 have the rights to Junior Bake Off and all 'Bake Off' Shows but as we know Creme De Le Creme stayed with the BBC.

Perhaps Channel 4 have the rights to all exclusive Great British Bake Off branded programming and anything using that exact format. But Love Productions can use the 'Bake Off' brand as long as the show uses a different format, as Creme De Le Creme does, to make shoes for other channels.

I imagine Junior Bake Off more or less uses the GBBO format?

There has been no JBO series recorded this year as far as I'm aware.

I believe Crème De Le Crème was allowed to remain at the BBC in exchange for the corporation not enforcing the clause which said Bake Off couldn't be screened on another channel for a whole year.

Junior Bake Off was basically a slimmed down GBBO format, still done in the tent but with shorter-length cooking windows (typically an hour or so) and a more speedy editing pace as it only ran in a 30 minute slot.

I've seen some of the JBO content, some highly gifted children involved. Would certainly out-do my culinary skill level.

If run on C4 I could see it extended to a post advert 45mins runtime and slotting into a Countdown type slot easily, say around 1615-1700 run stripped, for say three weeks. It'd be interesting to see who they'd get to host as Sam and Mark are CBBC through and through.

First commercial break mid-bake tonight with a commercial halfway through the showstopper. The placing of the latter commercial breaks have proved problematic throughout.

Have they? It sounds like you wouldn’t agree with the placement wherever they would be.

This is a show on commercial TV, those ads are going to have be somewhere. I’d like to ask you where you’d like to place them?

Considering the format of the show and how you lose a competitor each week, I'm not surprised the breaks are in different places each week.

However, as an aside, having only really dipped into Bake Off in the last series, I've watched every one so far on C4 and will continue to do so. It's survived the change of 'cast' and Noel - a brave choice - and Sandi are great hosts, Pru an excellent judge, and it is GBBO. If it's survived so many series with different bakers, why not with different hosts? Full credit to C4 and Love for keeping the format exactly as it was.

(Yes, I'm now a fan!)
