BRUSSELS — Three years after the 4th Big Brother series, Kanaal Twee has announced it will broadcast a 5th series in 2006.

Station director Jo Nachtergaele said Kanaal Twee's own programmes have proven successful. "Why shouldn't we bring back a cast-iron format such as Big Brother?"

When Big Brother first appeared in Flanders in 2000, it was the only Flemish production on Kanaal Twee, newspaper 'Het Nieuwsblad' reported on Thursday.

After four series, the commercial broadcaster decided in 2003 that the reality show had temporarily run its race. "To be clear, we did not write it off at the time, but simply put it one side," Nachtergaele said.

And according to the station director, times have since changed: "We are making more Flemish productions than ever. And they're successful".

Nachtergaele said Kanaal Twee had "big ambitions" and would continue to focus on its internally-produced programmes.

It is not yet known when the show will return to the TV screen. No decisions have been made over presenters either, but the broadcaster is issuing a call for candidates.

Anyone interested can register on the Kanaal Twee website.

It'll be time to monitor the VTM newsfeed on the Satellite at 16E for the eviction live shows.
I remember trying to access the Internet feeds last time without success. The site would except you signing up but wouldn't let you access the interesting part. The last BB show from there was advertised as an 'All Star' show.
Trying to remember if Kaanal Twee is the another name for BRT2 as I could if I really wanted have two options of direct access of the channel terrestrially (channel 46 UHF and think it used to be Channel 10 VHF). There is one of the channels available on satellite Free to Air.

Have to see how things develope. I did have one series on VHS plus a recording off the live studio feed.
