The Corrie omnibus is on ITV1 from 9.25 to 11.45 tomorrow morning.

We might get some Sunday morning figures on Monday then - be interesting to know how the Corrie and Hollyoaks omnibuses perform, though I'm sure they'll both be slightly dented by the tennis.

Eek! That's going to get hammered. It already does badly but against a major sporting event it will absolutely crumble.

Potentially record lows for ITV1 tomorrow morning.

It's going to be horrible. ITV are going to sink to a horrendous all day share.

I agree - Dancing on Ice and Wild at Heart may rescue it slightly, but the daytime's going to be awful.

Coronation Street was hit hard last night. I wouldn't think the crossover with Big Brother would be that severe. EastEnders has had it's lowest week since the new yera, but it will build up momentum again.

you make it sound like it had 4 million or something.
Last night EastEnders was their lowest this year so far but still over 9million.
Can the same be said for the other soaps?

Not quite the same really
but when is the new series start?

I reckon the BBC should start airing it at 8:30pm on a friday night as it would do well against corrie and have an EastEnders lead in

Is there any news on the Hour-Long Enders epsiode and what ITV have got lined up for the 18th and 19th?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that The Politics Show remains on BBC1.

No, I didn't make it sound like EastEnders dipped to below 4m - that's how you chose to read it. It's still had a brilliant start of the year, but it did have a low week compared to previously. Nothing major though.

Surely that will depend on whether or not the tennis overruns.

Last year's mens final weighed in at 4 hours 22 minutes.

Currently tomorrow's coverage has been allocated a 4 hour slot on BBC ONE and the first half hour is presumably just buildup since it wasn't due to start on BBC TWO until 8:30am.

I think its just started to come down after riding the high ratings wave from Christmas and New Year then the bad weather has helped keep it over 10 million most nights a lot longer than normal. Luckily just as the ratings start to fall back to what they would normally be at the end of Januray/early Feb the build up starts for the anniversary week and live episode to bump them back up.

Wouldn't The Politics Show just stay on BBC1 though? Just get delayed until the Tennis ends? There isn't much on after it worth keeping in the event of a delay, just repeats until the EastEnders omnibus at 3.05pm, which is a repeat itself anyway.

Cash in the Attic, Murder She Wrote and Allo Allo all ready and waiting to be taken out the schedule.

Isn't The Politics Show live? They won't want to delay it too much. Might not be suitable for guests etc.

Maybe its possible to pre-record. Not much about it needs to be absolutely live. I dont think BBC2 is really as option for just about the only show BBC1 has that relies so heavily on regional opt outs.

LOL! Just ran a search and the most recent rating I can find for the Corrie omnibus was 400k on November 8th 2009 against BBC One's coverage of the Remembrance Sunday service. (4m, 38.8%)

To be honest I could see the Murray match pulling in a much higher share than that. Corrie is toast!

I think you are getting a tad carried away, the Sunday morning ratings already are very low so going from say 0.7m to 0.5m wouldn't really effect the all day share, trust some people trying to turn it into a 'BBC v ITV' ratings war. I doubt T4 sets the word alight either.

The Tennis share is the main story, doesn't Breakfast get over 50% anyway against GMTV Kids programming

Please see the above post. 600k to 900k might be a bit optimistic.

EDIT: Nice edit there. But not fast enough for me I'm afraid!

Exactly Corrie is already toast on a normal week so it's not really the story of the day. Only people who want to score points against ITV or Corrie are really interested in what the normal mundane competition is getting.

It's almost like if the match was on in the middle of the night and people saying "Ouch, Horrible ratings for 'Nightwatch with Steve Scott' last night"

That wasn't a normal week. It was against tough competition on the BBC that day as well, but tomorrow it will be even more intense.

If potential or close to record low ratings for ITV1 daytime is not the recipe for a good story or a story worth telling then frankly I don't know what is!

Just watched TV Burp on ITVPlayer. I think ITV may be going for the 'Hole in the Wall' affect with it in order to boost ratings for other programmes - The Bill, Popstar to Opera Star, Coronation Street, Dancing on Ice and Wild at Heart all popped up on it in quite an entertaining light.

It will only be confirmed two weeks before broadcast. End of March/beginning of April likely.

Digiguide lists the thursday episode to be hour long, with ITV schedule staying the same, but that will probably change.

I thought it was interesting he included a Sky1 show. If he does move to Sky1 he better get used to doing that because ITV will block all of their shows, like the BBC used to do when he first started.

I think he'd be foolish to move to Sky1 to be honest. The audience base won't be as wide, and he'll become more of a cult figure than mainstream.
