You're right, I was comparing the 00:30-01:00 figure for Sky News with the 00:00-00:30 figure for BBC News. Dreadfully sorry, although the gap did narrow quite considerably.
Anything less would have been a disaster though, wouldn't it? Although I must (reluctantly) agree that like BBC News, Sky News has enjoyed a healthy few months ratings wise thanks to a succession of big news stories. The situation may improve some more when Sky Sports News is removed from Freeview (DTT) in a few weeks time. It's not completely inconceivable that a lot of Freeview viewers that currently have that on as "wallpaper TV" may make the switch to Sky News, which does of course run hourly sports bulletins and will even share sports presenters with Sky Sports News from next month.

Excellent rating for WDYTYA - Brucey was a big draw as expected and that episode will certainly become the programme's most watched ever once timeshift is factored in. It's pretty amazing that a factual programme can get almost 7m viewers considering most don't even get 4m!
Rev's not turned into the success we thought it could have been after the first rating came out, which is a shame as I've been enjoying it. Decent for Identity to bounce back a little from last week which I suppose is more than what MSO and Luther could do for their third episodes. If the ratings rise a bit more and stablilise at 4.5m, I hope ITV recommission it because by their standards it would be a good audience for a new summer drama. Their recent summer efforts (Monday Monday and Harley St) both fell under 3m and this being an ITV Studios production must have its additional benefits. Pretty good for Hollyoaks - ratings have generally rose in the last few weeks so it looks like its worst patch is out of the way. Solid ratings for Five yesterday, especially the 9pm movie. Still no word on what new US dramas Five (and other channels) will be picking up? |

Stunning ratings for WDYTYA? last night. It's certainly still capable of great, so long as the subject is right and the timeslot a good one.
In fact, many ratings were very high for a July evening. The soaps did very well across the board, I'd say. And it'll be comforting for ITV to see Identity pegging back its first week fall somewhat. It needs to hold that steady at least over the next few weeks, building back towards 5m, if possible. |

Channel 4 Overnights:
The Simpsons- 1.7m Hollyoaks- 1.3m (Isn't that higher than usual?) WW1:Finding The Lost Batallian- 1.4m Big Brother- 2.4m Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares USA- 1m Hollyoaks did well considering and has recovered from the sub 1m it got around a few months ago. WW1 Doc did okay, thought it would hit 2m for some reason. Big Brother did decent considering WDYTYA did fantastically and up against The Silence, however BB i don't think is tape checked a sit finished 6-7 mins early. EDIT- It was Big Brother's Joint Highest Rated Monday episode along with Week 1 Monday. Any full roundup?? Interesting to see the soaps ![]() Does tape checked mean checking when a show started and finished and cutting off the ratings from before/after it actually started ? |

----- Regarding last night, amazing for WDYTYA- like rzt said 7m for a factual programme in this day and age is astonishing. Panorama also seemed to get a nice boost aswell which gave BBC1 an excellent evening. Pretty lacklustre for BBC2. The predictable rating for the Newsnight special harmed Rev. Silly scheduling imo, considering it's the 10pm slot that needs propping up the most. People finally seem to be tiring of Antiques shows aswell. Uni Challenge seems down somewhat aswell. Strong for the ITV soaps, as per usual. Identity increased as I thought and hopefully it won't drop again. It's certainly ITV's best new Summer drama offering in at least 2/3 years. Also pleasing to see new drama in 3 9pm slots on ITV1 and repeated drama in 2 other slots aswell. BB did well considering it started half way through everything else, after a programme with a completely different audience. I don't really understand why the WW1 doc was at 8pm, because it obviously wasn't scheduled there in the first place, as Dispatches was moved to Sunday. Why couldn't this have aired at 7.30pm on Sunday?? FIVE above 1 million again- they're on a role lately. |

I see ITV has got rid of the GMTV name completely, the company now called ITV Breakfast Limited.

Don't you think the problem may just transfer to Thursday?
Nevertheless, I think it may be wise to air a pop music programme in the 'Oaks slot on Friday. |

I wont mention whats tending on twitter just incase someone has me down as being a 'fan'
![]() ![]() Good for the soaps last night with alot of bad weather about(mainly up north) so they are good ratings for July. The Big 2 soaps close again and Who do you think you are? and Identity higher then i thought they would be which is allways nice to see. On to Tonight i think the BBC would have had a good night with Hour EastEnders,Followed by Holby then Outnumbered. I expect the BIll to be dented alot by holby tonight |
