The news of Neighbours potential move to either ITV or Five continues to send ripples throughout the Neighbours fan community. More media outlets have seized on the fact that the BBC may loose one of its core programs and the speculation continues despite a lack of comments from any of the broadcasters involved.

Most fans still seem unsure about the move as it has positives despite the popular feeling that Neighbours belongs on the BBC. Both ITV and Five have their own high profile soaps which they run successfully and often put more effort into promoting them compared to the lacklustre efforts by the BBC. Whilst ITV and Five are commercial stations, which would mean advert breaks during Neighbours, the extra money paid per episode may help the Neighbours team push the show back to the top.

In the mild confusion of recent weeks one theme has grown in strength, the actions of FremantleMedia who are responsible for selling the show and are representing Neighbours in the current negotiations. The price increase which has caused the BBC to back away from the contract appears to have been initiated by FremantleMedia. Whilst all the facts of the situation are still unclear FremantleMedia's action have caused anger amongst fans as the instability of the current situation continues.
