http://bbimages.digitalspy.co.uk/bb6/library/160x120_bb6_davinadermot01.jpgChannel 4 is intending to be more "tactical" with its scheduling of Big Brother this summer to fend off a host of rival reality shows on ITV.

ITV is attempting to challenge C4's traditional BB-led dominance of the crucial 16-34 age demographic with the likes of Celebrity Love Island, Soccer Idol and Celebrity Pop Idol.

In return, Channel 4 is extending the length of BB to "at least" thirteen weeks and will move the show from its traditional 10pm home to different slots around the primetime schedule.

"ITV went for us last year with Love Island but I don't know that they thought it was a marvellous success," Kevin Lygo, C4's director of television, told Broadcast. "This year they'll throw Coronation Street all over the place too."

very difficult to put it in a prime time slot when a lot of it has to be over the watershed.

Everyone will be watching BB, seriously ITV is terrible now. Soccer Idol, my 7 year old brother could come up with something better!

i dont believe they should mess shows around like corrie and big bro just to rival each other, its getting ridiculous with this reality overload given by the itv! invest in some good dramas as thats what we like to see!

they dont invest in many good dramas now, its just cheap reality type shows. surely it can only go on for so long then they will have to think of something else. i cant think of anything worse than watching a load of nobodys sitting in a house trying to win to be a z list celeb.

All ITV does is show terrible drama's about some family and there are far too many reality TV shows.
