Just a note - it appears MG have made a balls up on Saturday's figures.
It has TV Burp, Merlin and Strictly lower than what they have been reported on here, Broadcast and Brand Republic. ![]() ![]() Actually looking at it the whole article looks messed up with almost everything down on the actual ratings...I can't see what's gone so wrong

Staggering ratings for The X Factor.
I reckon that's enough to dispel the myth that people will only tune in for the star bookings. Anybody who watches is usually only interested in the result. Great stuff for Harry Hill and FF as well. What a night for ITV1. Kudos to BBC1 for holding up so well in the face of that onslaught. |

According to ITV on Twitter - peak was 15m - meaning best every performance for XF.
Quote:
TXF's highest rating ever is 13.5m, for last years final result, so just slightly behind last nights 13.4m.

The equivalent results episode of TXF last year averaged 7.7m. So with last nights staggering 13.4m, the 2009 results three episode, is UP a massive 5.7m!!

Amazing Ratings for TXF over the weekend.
13.4m last night for the third results show. I can see the final getting over 17m at this rate. |

US Sunday Overnights

Denting NBC's football somewhat and the combination of two New York teams on different channels probably didn't help. ABC held up well, CBS got slaughtered particularly from 9pm. |

It also says ''BBC's political satire beats Piers Morgan's Life Stories on ITV1''...

I don't think it matters. The alternative is Natasha Kaplinsky on a boat.

Well, there are lots of cliffhangers in EastEnders, such as Heather's baby. Was this discussed on Ratings Thread? No, the country isn't talking about it, unlike X Factor.
I'd agree about Wallace and Gromit though - it did phenomenally well in a well placed slot on Christmas Day but I don't think it defines watercooler television in the same way as The X Factor or EastEnders do. |

What's the point of the programme if you're going to tell the public how they have to vote? The GBP don't take kindly to that, anyway. That's why that Preger female won I'd Do Anything - because Cameron Mackintosh made it so obvious he wanted the other woman to be his Nancy. And look at the John Sergeant fiasco in last year's Strictly.
And to be fair to Cowell, although he didn't like it he was in no doubt that the public vote has to be respected. Quote:
I'm praying that the final will be on another snow night (like with Whitechapel earlier in the year). I'm fascinated to see just how high the audience could go after the 19m we got for BGT on the hottest day of the year.
Really, really good night for ITV1, they really do rule Sundays now. BBC1 still did well and I'm quite liking the way the two channels are aiming at completely different audiences on Sundays at the moment. I think the choice is really benefiting viewers. Quote:

You are right in one way though-the almost hypnotising hype means that pretty much everyone knows of X Factor-and many have an opinion. You get as many people saying they hate is love it-though a percentage of both those views will be saying it as a knee jerk response. |

The BBC aren't really unique in being too cautious at times. Though it is interesting that Lorraine Heggesey now benefits from all these shows that she had wanted to take in-house (as CEO of Talkback Thames).
Every US network passed over Pop Idol. Some of them passed several times (ABC said no on 3 occasions). Even FOX showed little interest. It was eventually Elisabeth Murdoch, who was a fan of Pop Idol, who told her father that FOX had to make the show and make it exactly like the UK show. One of the first things Simon Shaps did when he arrived at ITV was scrap Britain's Got Talent. I think American Idol started off as a summer show which grew and grew but it took a few seasons to become a monster hit. Even DWTS started as a summer show before moving to the main season. talkbackTHAMES is quite prominient for a production company that not inhouse like BBC Productions and ITV Studios, they have several hit shows on the various channels and lots of commissions. |

Excellent for Family Fortunes and X Factor. Family Fortunes really suits that slot.
Graham Norton is doing BBC1's New Years Eve show, apparently cutting to BBC Scotland for the live celebrations at midnight... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a1836...-bbc-deal.html If that is true I think its a great idea. Boost for Graham Norton, an improvement on the bland New Years things from the past and getting Edinburgh screened nationally would be cool. It's always a pretty good atmosphere with the fireworks at the castle and the street party below. |

To be fair EastEnders did trend on Twitter which I'd say is a better tool to measure what people are talking about than this thread.

Australian Ratings: Sunday 25th October
Seven
18:00 Seven News 1.25m 18:30 Sunday Night 1.14m 19:30 Border Security 1.35m 20:00 The Force 1.44m 20:30 Bones 1.19m Nine 18:00 Nine News Sunday 1.33m 18:30 20 To One 0.98m 19:30 60 Minutes 1.03m 20:30 Rescue Special Ops (Series Finale) 1.06m 21:30 CSI: Miami 0.79m Ten 18:30 Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation (R) 0.68m 19:30 Australian Idol 1.00m 21:30 Rove 0.85m ABC 20:30 Wuthering Heights 0.77m GO! 18:00 Seinfeld 0.09m 18:30 Wipeout 0.31m 19:30 The Big Bang Theory 0.14m 21:30 Curb Your Enthusiasm 0.07m 22:00 Weeds 0.08m Nine/GO! win with a combined 29.4% share. --- Fairly quiet. Idol didn't win in any of the demos last night. The big story on Sundays though is the low numbers for 60 Minutes. This is by far its worst rated year in its 30 year history, causing Nine yet more headaches. Even in 2007 against the hugely successful Kath & Kim it was averaging 1.4m. |

Is it still looking like they'll just be a show on Saturday for the final. Not having the final three on the Saturday, then the last two on the Sunday, seems madness to me With probably 18-20m looking likely, stupid to constrict that to one night.

I am speechless by TXF's figure. I thought it peaked last year but it just performs better and better everytime. Exceptional for ITV.
I can see the hype and massive viewing figures for it dying down in a few years though, in a similar way to Big Brother. |

Also, why are GO! and Nine's share combined when there are two separate channels? ![]() Collision, apparently, has been confirmed as week beginning Monday 9th November. An Audience with The Osmonds will air on Wednesday 11th November @ 20:00. I suspect that means Corrie will be airing at @ 19:30 on that day to make up for the IAC episode which they will lose. |

On the contrary. It's madness not to have the final all on the one night; they'd lose the momentum.
![]() The Sunday show has consistently been rating higher than the Saturday edition and if it airs all on one night it will have to be scheduled around Strictly which will make things difficult. Especially they end up partially clashing (Strictly will be having two shows by then won't it?). I think ITV will push for a two-night event. Have the third place contestant announced on the Saturday and then leave the final two to battle it out on the Sunday. |

In ratings terms Im not so sure. the BBC has had approcahing ten million for the live show in the last years (I might be out there but a large share whatever). Iv no doubt Edinburgh will be spectacular but Nortons show should be live and I doubt the combination the BBC has chosen will reap the same rewards.
The figures are: 2007: 6.27m overnights, 5.35m officials 2008: 6.05m overnights, 5.83m officials Your 10m peak, which I think is about right, will be at midnight when people tune in to see the New Year arrive. Being precorded doesn't do Jools Annual Hootenanny any harm over on BBC2. |

Is that the same version which was shown over here a few months back?

Also, why are GO! and Nine's share combined when there are two separate channels? OzTam have been grouping them like that for a while now. They are combining the main channels with their digital offspring. (So ABC1/2, Seven, Nine/GO!, Ten/One, SBS One/Two)
Bit unfair on Seven really since they only have the one channel at the moment. But Seven would be quick to boast in their daily press release if their single channel beat both Nine and GO!, which happens quite regularly actually. Anyway, not for much longer will they be the odd one out. 7TWO launches on Australian television at noon on (Sunday) 1st November. Programming includes first runs of hit US fare such as Lost, Ugly Betty and 24, as well as what they claim to be "the very best of British television" including Heartbeat, A Touch of Frost, Gavin and Stacey and Five's (now axed) motoring show Fifth Gear. So basically, it will consist almost purely of imports like 99% of digital channels over here. Meanwhile Nine have nabbed the Australian rights to Top Gear from SBS. That includes both the UK version from series 2 onwards and also the Aussie version. Transmission will begin in early 2010. |

I can see the hype and massive viewing figures for it dying down in a few years though, in a similar way to Big Brother. Its an interesting one-will there be a tipping point and will the massive rise in viewership lead to a similar decline. Its hard to see that happening now, although I once thought the same about Who Wants to be a Millionaire when it was getting 19 million viewers. Maybe it will revolve around how long Simon Cowell wants to be involved as alot of the soul of the show seems to stem from his presence. |
