SHOWTIME GIVES SOME BIG BROTHERLY LOVE
Showtime Greenlights a Second Installment of Big Brother: After Dark,
an exclusive live three hour feed of the first winter edition of the
CBS hit reality series BIG BROTHER starting Tuesday, February 12th at
12:00 AM ET/PT on SHO2
LOS ANGELES, CA (January 8, 2008) CBS and Showtime will once
again partner to bring viewers Big Brother: After Dark, an exclusive,
live televised look inside the BIG BROTHER house after the network
prime-time cameras have been turned off. Big Brother: After Dark will
feature a live television feed from the "Big Brother" house for three
hours (12:003:00 AM, ET/PT), seven days a week, on the cable
network's SHO2 multiplex channel beginning Tuesday, February 12th at
12:00 AM ET/PT. The announcement was made today by Robert Greenblatt,
President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.
"Big Brother: After Dark was a big success for us at bringing an
audience to very late night time periods on SHO2. This began as an
experiment with our friends at Endemol and CBS, and I'm happy that it
worked so well for all of us," said Greenblatt. "I'm amazed at how
much curiosity there is about what goes on in the Big Brother house
after the lights are out, but what better place to present that than
on SHOWTIME where we have a lot of on-air real estate in the wee
hours of the morning."
The first winter edition of BIG BROTHER will premiere on CBS Tuesday,
February 12th and air every Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET/PT, Wednesday at
8:00 PM ET/PT and Sunday at 8:00 PM ET/PT. The series follows the
relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house
outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their
every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the houseguests will vote each
other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last
remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize.
BIG BROTHER is executive produced by Emmy® Award-winner Allison
Grodner and Rich Meehan, in association with Endemol U.S.A.
