Broadcast & Platform
The main television coverage of Big Brother was screened in three weekly highlight programs that were transmitted on Saturdays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), Tuesdays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), and Thursdays at 8 p.m (live ET/delayed PT) on CBS in the United States. The episodes summarize the events of the previous two to three days in the House. The series also featured a Live Feed, in which subscribers could look inside the house at any time, though the feeds were shut down for competitions. Big Brother 5 also featured the premiere of the online companion series House Calls: The Big Brother Talk Show, hosted by Gretchen Massey and former Big Brother 3 HouseGuest Marcellas Reynolds. Along with these features, CBS also launched an official website, which featured various features such as a "Love Em or Leave Em" poll, and a poll asking fans who would be evicted next. Other features included a fantasy draft and a chat location.

“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
