ITV's public slanging match with the BBC is obviously working then. It's all about the publicity!
Next week it the papers should refrain from all mention of the show and see if that helps it

Taggart has not been recomissioned according to this report today: Quote:
IN MANY cases STV has outperformed the ITV network, STV chief executive Woodward says. 'The audience for Scotland Revealed, for instance, was 2.5% more than The Bill, while Made In Scotland had a higher proportion of ABC1 viewers (the most lucrative audience demographic) than The Bill. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/markets...0&in_page_id=3'But every major ITV hit, such as The X Factor or Britain's Got Talent, is shown in Scotland. We take 90% of the ITV network shows.' Of course, it works both ways. STV produces shows for ITV, including detective series Taggart, which has not been recommissioned by the ITV network. ITV messed around too much with Taggart, leaving months between successive episodes and not giving it a consistent slot! Anyone know how many episodes are left in the can? |

How do Judges Houses episodes of XF usually do ? I presume usually an improvement on Bootcamp.
Also, anyone have the ratings of the opening live shows for XF for the last few years ? |

The X Factor's audience peaked at 10.1 million, 40% of last's night television viewers, compared to 8.7 million (38%) for Strictly which last night saw former jockey Richard Dunwoody get the boot.
Strictly's peak audience was at 7.55pm, just before The X Factor started at 8pm. Last night's average audience for The X Factor, which is still in the preliminary stages of choosing finalists, was 8.9 million, 36% of those watching TV between 8pm and 9.15pm. Strictly was left trailing one million viewers behind with an average of 7.9 million (33%). An ITV spokesman said: "The X Factor performed particularly well with the younger audience, attracting 49% of the 16 to 34 demographic over the whole show, compared to 23% watching Strictly Come Dancing." Although Strictly was the viewers' second choice for the second Saturday running, its average audience rose by 200,000 on last week's 7.7 million and its peak remained steady at 8.7 million.

Opening live shows (overnights): 2005 - Performances: 7.6m (39%)... results: 8.6m (38%) 2006 - Performances: 7.3m (35%)... results: 7.0m (31%) 2007 - Performances: 6.2m (31%)... results: 6.8m (33%) 2008 - Performances: 10.4m (44%)... results: 8.0m (41%) I think this year the performance shows will be around the same as last year due to the Strictly clashes. But Results should definitely be up. |

Regarding ITV 49% 16-34 demographic does the advertising shown reflect this? I cannot imagine many teenagers enjoying SCD as it is for a more mature audience I would say 25+ minimum, kids watching it with parents possibly fuming
.2/3 of people (out of the population) are managing to avoid both programmes quite easily each week - maybe this anti-bbc press backlash was an attempt to drum up more viewers for ITV. |

The first judges houses show has always done better than the first bootcamp show. But they have varied hugely and in the second and third series there wasn't much difference.
XF1 - 7.0m (vs 6.5m) XF2 - 8.7m (vs 8.5m) XF3 - 6.3m (vs 6.1m) XF4 - 7.5m (vs 6.8m) XF5 - 9.8m (vs 8.2m) |

From the Press Association :
Strictly Come Dancing was second again after scheduling saw it clash with the ITV talent show for more than an hour. The dance show closed the gap slightly with the difference in peak audiences falling from two million last week to 1.4 million last night. The X Factor's audience peaked at 10.1 million, 40% of last's night television viewers, compared to 8.7 million (38%) for Strictly which last night saw former jockey Richard Dunwoody get the boot. Strictly's peak audience was at 7.55pm, just before The X Factor started at 8pm. Last night's average audience for The X Factor, which is still in the preliminary stages of choosing finalists, was 8.9 million, 36% of those watching TV between 8pm and 9.15pm. Strictly was left trailing one million viewers behind with an average of 7.9 million (33%). An ITV spokesman said: "The X Factor performed particularly well with the younger audience, attracting 49% of the 16 to 34 demographic over the whole show, compared to 23% watching Strictly Come Dancing." Although Strictly was the viewers' second choice for the second Saturday running, its average audience rose by 200,000 on last week's 7.7 million and its peak remained steady at 8.7 million. The peak audience for X Factor was 600,000 down on last week's 10.7 million and its average audience dropped 400,000 from 9.3 million last Saturday. A BBC spokeswoman said: "We are very pleased that the Strictly Come Dancing audience has remained consistent with a peak of 8.7 million people tuning in. "Alongside Merlin and the rest of Saturday evening's line up, BBC One is clearly providing viewers with a range of shows that they are enjoying right across the night." Edit : Just seen post above - need to go to Specsavers i do

The eye catching result on Saturday for me was Match of The Day. Good day in the Premiership, but thats a good rating over 70 mins in such a late slot.
Yet there was that report that least season it got its highest ratings for a decade, and Match of the Day 2 was, as I say, BBC2's highest rated programme last week. Which is quite remarkable when you think about it. People slag off the Beeb for their lack of football but week after week they have the most watched football coverage on telly by miles. |

It's hard to know what the BBC is supposed to do.
They get slated for supposedly going after big ratings, then get slated for not getting big ratings. If they are supposed to ignore ratings and just schedule a good night of TV, the press are not making it easy for them. On another note, Channel 4 are showing CSI this Thursday at 10pm, the WAT crossover episode. Will be interesting to see how that rates. |

A fairly unremarkable Saturday. X Factor's highest ratings ever for that episode but it doesn't seem particularly remarkable as it's not as high as this series has been. Strictly down on last year and peaking early. Merlin is doing OK, but it's very much at the lower end of the ratings it was getting last year. The Cube is working well in that slot and When Piers Met... rounded off a predictably good night for ITV1. MOTD got some good ratings as well.

Very good night for BBC One. The Saturday night schedule is working well for them, with no weak links (and no Weakest Link
). I think the line up of entertainment/drama/entertainment/drama works better than ent/ent/drama/drama.X Factor is still performing really well, even though it's at the slight lull between the audition stage and the voting shows. I think the two weeks of Friday and Saturday SCD shows is hard going even for the dedicated fans, though. I think the whole series should play on Saturday nights, which would be easy to achieve if the couples just did one dance each on their first shows. |

(Incidentally I notice X Factor had a Sunday night programme on 7th October 2007. And I thought last year was the first time they did Sunday shows. How the memory lets you down.) Quote:

I think the point of the Friday/ Saturday shows was to ensure everybody had the chance to do at least one ballroom dance and one latin dance before they left the series. Previously some would dance a ballroom for their opening dance and some would perform a latin and it meant the dancers weren't really competing on a even footing.
And there's nothing wrong with an anoraky ratings collection! I wish I'd kept my '80s/'90s collection going.

Good night for both channels last night. The X Factor did decrease, but that was to be expected I guess.
At this point (and a little OT, but related anyway), in the F1 title race, if Button gets 5 more points than Barrichello next weekend in Japan - then he is champion. From a ratings point of view, BBC have to hope that it is drawn out to at least Brazil, the penultimate race of the year as that is in primetime. |

The advantage of it still bring undecided going into the final race though is that you can confidently advertise the race knowing that it will decide the title, whereas its a bit difficult to advertise Japan or Brazil with "It might decide who is champion, or it might not make a difference" |

Actuallly, in this multichannel age, 7.91m is a brilliant audience. It is bigger, for instance, that Coronation Street's audience from last Thursday (7.62m) or Doc Martin's audience from last Sunday (7.67m)

Anyone have the rating for the footie on BBC Two? 17:05-19:35.
Also Farewell to Floyd on the same channel between 21:05-21:50. I'd really appreciate it. Cheers. |

As for The X Factor - wonder if the audience will stick with the Sunday shows, especially if they're as padded as such results shows often are. We're only two weeks in and although normal for the last couple of years, I'm kind of begrudging the Sunday episodes already this year. Quote:

IIRC last year Five USA showed the relevant Without A Trace episode when Five showed the CSI episode and got record ratings. Safe to say C4 truly missed the boat on that one, but I'm surprised C4 are showing CSI. I assumed the deal would be for it to be on More4 considering Without A Trace was on Five USA.

Exactly. Schedule against X Factor and they're going for ratings, yet surely not scheduling against The X Factor would really be going for ratings.

Plus it wouldn't work the other way around as the CSI episode goes first. |

Speaking of crossovers, I wonder how Five are going to do the three CSI crossovers which airs in the US in November, my intial guess would be to delay it till the summer or have a three day CSI event with Miami on Sunday, NY on Monday and Vegas on Tuesday.

The X Factor was a lot better tonight, but after last night's show feeling rushed, tonight's felt a bit too dragged out in the last 30-40 minutes. They should have had last night devoted to the groups round (and filmed them arguing in the hotel) and tonight's show for the top 50. I think it'll just hit 10m tonight, but the big numbers will come for the live shows.
