Officials for w/e 16/08/09 make very poor reading for both BBC1 and ITV1.
- BBC1 below 20% for the 3rd week in a row. The last 3 weeks are BBC1's 2nd, 3rd and 4th worst weeks ever. - ITV1 overall share 15.2% - 2nd worst week ever. Things should start improving for ITV1 with XF but Wed 18th was dire with football and it will be the same on Fri 27th. So will be interesting to see how strong the recovery is. |

Official BARB ratings for week ending 16th August
Most watched programmes of the week
1 - 9.26m - Coronation Street (Mon 19:32, ITV1) 2 - 8.27m - EastEnders (Mon, BBC1) 3 - 7.69m - New Tricks (Thu, BBC1) 4 - 7.04m - Emmerdale (Thu 20:00, ITV1) 5 - 6.27m - Who Do You Think You Are? (Wed, BBC1) 6 - 5.85m - Ten O'Clock News (Thu, BBC1) 7 - 5.65m - International Football: England v Spain (Wed, ITV1) 8 - 5.52m - Rivers with Griff Rhys Jones (Sun, BBC1) 9 - 5.04m - Holby City (Tue, BBC1) 10- 4.55m - The Street (Mon, BBC1) ITV's share for the week was just 15.2%, it's second worst ever. BBC1's share isn't great either, below 20% and one of its worst ever. BBC Ten O'Clock News on Thursday is rating very well, helped by the New Tricks lead-in. Alternative Chart (BBC2, Channel 4, Five) 1 - 3.41m - Coast (Tue, BBC2) 2 - 3.32m - Athletics: World Championships (Sun, BBC2) 3 - 3.12m - Top Gear (Sun, BBC2) 4 - 3.03m - CSI Miami (Tue, Five) 5 - 2.94m - Match of the Day (Sun, BBC2) 6 - 2.93m - Dragon's Den (Wed, BBC2) 7 - 2.88m - University Challenge (Mon, BBC2) 8 - 2.85m - Location, Location, Location (Wed, C4) 9 - 2.74m - Mock The Week (Thu, BBC2) 10- 2.68m - Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odessey (Thu, BBC2) Must be the first time in ages that Big Brother isn't in this chart. Plenty of shows nowadays on the 'Alternative' channels which can beat it. A great week for BBC2. Multichannels 1 - 1.14m - EastEnders (Tue, BBC3) 2 - 0.97m - America's Got Talent (Fri, ITV2) 3 - 0.93m - House Season 5 (Sun 21:00, Sky 1) 4 - 0.89m - Come Dine with Me (Sun, More4) 5 - 0.84m - Film: Nanny McPhee (Sun, ITV2) 6 - 0.77m - Family Guy (Wed, BBC3) 7 - 0.73m - Wycliffe (Sat, ITV3) 8 - 0.72m - The Autistic Me (Tue, BBC3) 9 - 0.64m - Taggart (Sat, ITV3) 10- 0.62m - The Simpsons (Sun, Sky1) Note: Sky Sports 1 officials haven't been released. Despite no more Emmerdale clashes, the Tuesday EastEnders episodes continue to rate very well. America's Got Talent finale pulls in the numbers for ITV2. We don't usually have ITV3 programmes in the chart, but ITV1's abysmal Saturday seems to have helped its digital channels out. |

ITV1 officials for w/e 16/08/09 make extraordinary reading in that there are 12 programmes above 5.62m and then nothing else at all above 3.66m.
The 12 programmes are: Coronation Street *5 Emmerdale *6 Spain v England football If anything now summed up ITV1's position, this list is it. Ratings for "fillers" are completely collapsing. |

Just to say there are no officials for Sky Sports 1 which has made a mess of multi-channel ratings. Spurs v Liverpool which had a peak of 2m would have been top multi-channel programme by miles.

Not too surprised about Big Brother being cancelled after BB11. I expect ratings will see a slight rise though seeing as we are nearly into the final week of BB10 and this news has just been released.
I expect BB11 will also see a boost, compared to previous series as everyone will know it's the last one and will tune into see its death. I assume BB11 will just be members of the public again and not All Stars? It will be interesting to see what Channel 4 come up with in the summer of 2011 to fill the void that BB leaves. I like the sound of it creating more dramas like Red Riding, but I am cynical over whether it will match the figures that BB was capable of. They have 13 weeks to fill over the summer, an hour of primetime a night - it's going to be tough but they do need to move on and come up with something more creative and "out there". Will they try and make a different reality show to run night after night, similar to BB? or will they produce a series of shows of varying genres to air over different nights of the summer? Interesting times ahead. |

Well what fillers were there?
Sunday - 2x 2 hour dramas Saturday a 3.5 hour film Friday - drama repeat Thursday - The Bill up against New Tricks Tuesday - burn off reality show Monday - burn off drama Other than Grimebusters and Countryfile, I dont know what people expect? Whether ITV will be able to get decent ratings for any high profile dramas for much longer going forward we'll have to wait and see. The ITV model up till recently was to have the soaps, big shows and football and then get reasonable ratings for a lot of other stuff because if people were on ITV1 already they would watch whatever came on next. The figures show ITV1 is now completely losing this ability. In contrast, BBC1 still has this ability to get decent ratings for fillers - but for how much longer? We are watching the death of the British TV model. |

Car Crime UK finished its series yesterday on ITV1 with 3.0m (14%) at 8pm. Also the final edition of Neighbourhood Watched on BBC1 at 10:35pm had 2.3m (17.4%).

Fillers are by definition just tv wallpaper. Last week was hardly representative. Firstly the crazy stv dispute is affecting itv final figures. Secondly BBC1 is launching a lot of new drama & other shiows in August and ITV is in repeats or low budget factual runs or showing films.
I wouldnt call the death of a tv model based on one week at the height of summer ITV1 has now had 11 weeks in a row of absolutely horrendous numbers. See graph below. Of course things should now start improving but I do wonder just how much. There have still been an awful lot of further very poor numbers last week and this week. http://www.barb.co.uk/graph/viewingShare?_s=4 |

The end of Big Brother is not a surprise but it's had a great run of ten years, 11 series with 'normal' people and 7 celebrity editions plus countless spin-offs.
It's surprising that BB is on the decline here, it's had a bit of a resurge in America although the American BB is very different from other versions and more akin to Survivor. |

The Radio Times have Waking The Dead penciled in for Sunday 6 September, and although it's not confirmed yet, presumably Monday 7 September.
I suppuse this will give The Bill a bit of a break, but will repeats of Traffic Cops/Motorway Cops (which presumably will take the Thursday slot) outrate a drama about cops. There's only one way to find out... |

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbroth...other-bid.html Five, Sky1 and ITV2 have ruled out bidding for BB. I should note this from the boss of Five: Quote:
Five's controller Richard Woolfe said that the format does not fit the "new direction" in which he is steering the broadcaster.
"Big Brother has been an amazing phenomenon but, in terms of the new direction Five is taking, we are looking for big original ideas. Big Brother now needs to be off our screens for a few years before anyone can consider reinventing it and bringing it back," he said. |

Why are Sky1 making a bird watching show ?
Sky1 used to have a very clear remit, and skewed 16-34, who's that supposed to appeal to ? |
