The question is if there's another UK home for "Neighbours." BBC1 and ITV aren't going to move their 6 p.m. newscasts, especially with the Beeb getting threatened with the license fee going away. In the 5 p.m. hour, "Pointless" and "The Chase" aren't going anywhere. Fremantle probably won't accept BBC2 or ITV2. And if you think there was fuss over Channel 4 picking up the "Bake-Off," just wait and see the cries about them welching on their alternative programming remit if they pick up "Neighbours." Would Sky throw out the big bucks to pick the show up, especially with one of their execs the former CEO of Fremantle?
