Why is Chiles not presenting ITV's Cup Final coverage today?
Are they saving him for the higher profile games that get the ratings?

He's in from the 24th to cover the England friendlies. A shame though ITV didn't handle the situation much better as they had a half decent portfolio of games to split between Rider and Chiles through to the end of the World Cup. Matt Smith though really benefiting from it. Quote:

Notice Marco's Ratings Burnout has picked up slightly, as you would expect as the final approaches, but 2.5 million is still pathetic considering Hell's Kitchen, itself not a massive ratings success, was achieving 4 million at a similar stage last year. Maybe ITV1 should reconsider the whole celebrity/ reality genre as it does seem to be so noughties now.
BTW how did All At Sea do? |

I'd hardly say it's really bad - but it does just seem to be Screenwipe with guests.
And the difference between it and Screenwipe is that Screenwipe is/was actually good. The best bits of YHBW are basically the Screenwipe-esque clips - the worst bits are everything else. :yawn: |

It would be good to see the ratings for just the actual match, ie 3.00-3.45 and 4.00 to 4.45, maybe adding 5 mins to each slot for the injury/stoppage time - those pundits must really send the viewers to the fridge in droves.
FA cup final day used to be a real event, I recall racing in to watch the 1979 final ( Man Utd beaten by Arsenal, good old Alan Sunderland!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEZMErRVRf8. The match today wasn't a classic - 2 missed penalties, also the weather will dent it - 4 million would be hopeful with a 5.5 million peak. NB. According to the FA, the estimated global viewing audience for the 2005 final at the Millennium Stadium, where Arsenal beat Manchester United on penalties, was 484 million. That figure dwarfs the audiences for many other major sporting events |

YHBW didn't make C4's top 30, but its overnights that week were 606,000 on C4 with another 60,000 on +1. Ouch. |

I saw the first episode of "You Have Been Watching" got bored, and stopped watching, no where near as good as Screenwipe, as usual, the presenter got a better show on the BBC.

That figure dwarfs the audiences for many other major sporting events I'd be therefore shocked, as a result, if the peak was as low as 5.5 million. I'll also be surprised if the average is 4 million. If we do get a peak tomorrow, I should note that it will be a 15-minute peak which will therefore be lower than the 5-minute peak by I'd say a few hundred thousand. |

I'd be interested to know how Prison Break performs tonight. I can't remember a programme on Sky 3 being plugged so extensively (literally every other ad break on Sky News) aside from the annual free weekend pass.

Because it was agreed that his first match would be the England friendly. Matt Smith gets the FA Cup final & the Champions League final. Thats just the way things were agreed after Steve Rider was paid off to exit his contract early.

A good night for Ashes to Ashes, but average all around otherwise. The soaps will surely see another first-of-the-week bounce on Monday only to lose the viewers as the week goes on. The FA Cup will suffer again from being on ITV, which is unfortunate.

Not sure if this has mentioned but it appeared that Five have dropped JLC: Good Times in favour of a documentary on David Cameron and Nick Clegg on Monday and the following Monday is the film Mike Bassett: England Manager. It was doing poorly so it doesn't surprise me.

And what a mess they have made there. Bring in another guy to present the football despite having a perfectly capable host in Steve Rider. I appreciate they have the World Cup coming up but they could just have told Steve they would alternate between him and Adrian rather than teling him hes not needed and tearing up his contract..

Impressive turnaround on another current documentary for FIVE-they're building up a good reputation for quick turnaround documantaries on current affairs. Quote:
I don't think they've dropped it - its just that he's on Wednesday under a different title: http://uk-tv-guide.com/programme-det...ovision/Music/
It would seem this week Good Times is on at 11pm on Monday. |

![]() The programme is called "David Cameron & Nick Clegg: Where Did It All Go Right?". That's a bit presumptive. Unless the programme is actuallly called "Where Did It All Go Right-wing?" Look forward to "David & Nick: Where Did It All Go Wrong?" in 2 years time. |

Strange night, in all honesty. Britain's Got Talent substantially down compared to last week. Doctor Who did well, but the breakdown makes for very interesting reading - from 18:30 to 19:00, it 'only' had 5.7 million compared to 4.8 million for You've Been Framed - which I find slightly surprising.
The FA Cup final disappointed. It's share is not great, and its probably one of the lowest ever. The actual audience is OK, but shares are low. The match average was 5.6 million. The F1 did well, the actual session averaged 2.7 million - it was the 1/2 hour post-qualifying roundup that dented it. And 2 graphs: http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/7208/sat15.jpg |

Looks like there were fewer people watching TV yesterday, which dented the likes of Over The Rainbow and Britain's Got Talent. OTR's share was even higher than last week's, and BGT's only marginally down (by 0.3%). The next two weeks might be tricky for BGT, what with the Sunday show which will rate unpredictably and the following week going up against Eurovision which traditionally dents it. So far, the auditions are down 7% year-on-year.
The FA Cup Final rated better than last year but the share is low. The broadcast really should be grabbing an average of 40% of viewers or more. YBF! and TW19Y were solid in early peaktime - at one stage, YBF! was only 0.8m behind Doctor Who. If there's one positive for The Prisoner's rating, it's that for the first time this series it didn't drop any viewers from the previous week! Otherwise, absolutely awful. Doctor Who flat vs. last week which is quite good, even though it started at a later time, because of fewer people watching TV. Solid figures for the rest of BBC1's lineup. |
