That's right. CBS has created a spinoff of Big Brother called Big Brother: After Dark. The new program, broadcast on ShoToo, Showtime's companion network, will be a live, unedited feed of what happens in the Big Brother house between the hours of midnight and three AM EST/PST (I guess one of those time zones can't be live, really). Variety reports:

 

Because there are so many cameras in the house capturing multiple storylines, an online producer will decide which cameras auds will see. Profanity and nudity will be allowed, but the feed will be interrupted if houseguests say anything slanderous or that violates music copyrights.

 

I'm kind of curious what they could say that would be problematic for music copyright law. I understand what slander is, but would it be a problem if they started quoting song lyrics? In any case, I think CBS has finally figured out why people watched Big Brother in the first place.
