There is the initial cost of buying GMTV.
The refitting of the studio and the new set. Buying out GMTV means no longer having to exclude 25% of the earnings and also alllows back office mergers. The HD upgrade would always have required a new set. Fair enough ITV have spent money on the new launch but I dont think the £30m is anywhere near the true cost of the relaunch. |

these 2 would have happened regardless.

GMTV would have had to have a studio refit for HD, but the set would be nowhere near to the standard of Daybreak. They have a long way to go before Daybreak will make a profit, and as I said in my previous post they could have left the 25% stake alone, done another GMTV revamp and still be making a profit. |

Very poor for Home and Away yesterday. They've promoted its return as well so I can't put it down to that. Bit of a worry. ![]() Oh for the days when it would pull in 5-6m an episode back in 2000. Quote:
It's probably just a temporary dip but since last Tuesday (Monday not included as it was a Bank Holiday), The One Show's ratings are down 8% compared to the same period last year and down 10% vs. 2008. GeorgeS shouldn't wet his pants just yet, though <snip>

They offered Eammon the Daybreak job but he rejected. He was happy to stay on at Sky. Can't blame him tbh.
Quote:
Yeah, it's in the ratings roundup post above. Daybreak level with the previous day in terms of no. of viewers, Lorraine down 0.2m. Breakfast down 0.1m from Tuesday.

The One show had Alexander Armstrong co-hosting last night, JM must have took the night off. I only had a brief look as I was working but up against Emmerdale I would expect TOS to be dented.
People like to watch soaps constantly to follow the storyline but shows like TOS can be dipped into occasionally once or twice a week, so that would explain the peaks and troughs. Are we going to see a 10m Eastenders tonight or Friday? |

As Britain's brightest daytime show prepares for its first ever primetime broadcast, The Grauniad writes: Quote:
Tonight, to celebrate its 10th birthday, The Wright Stuff will be broadcast live at 8pm on Five – and for the first time reach an audience wider than housewives, students, the unemployed and the hungover. That is no bad thing: along with Andrew Neil's Daily Politics show, The Wright Stuff is one of only a handful of daytime shows on mainstream TV that break up the mind-numbing stream of sofas and soaps, repeats and makeover shows. It inventively taps into our appetite for news, discussion and gossip – it's basically What The Papers Say meets Loose Women, and its presenter is fast and funny. Source & more: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-rad...primetime-slot
Recorded live, the programme usually goes out at 9.15am, for 90 minutes. It is one of those shows where you feel anything can happen – and it often does: Wright notably named Ulrika Johnson's alleged rapist as John Leslie, and David Van Day dumped his girlfriend live on air. Just recently he declared that Mary Bale, the cat bin lady was, in tabloid speak a "bonkers bint" (Philip Schofield he ain't), and on Tuesday explained exactly how two journalists might hack into a celebrity's phone. It will be interesting to see how the Wright Stuff fares tonight outside the desolation of the daytime TV schedule, with its estranged spouses slugging it out in a mock courtrooms, and how its low-budget aesthetics will fit with the slickness of primetime TV. Could it be destined for bigger and better things? |

Poor for Bang Goes The Theory in an easy slot. It probably would have rated roughly the same at 7.30pm on Monday, against Coronation St, which is where it should be scheduled, but it's Jay Hunt's baby, so maybe that's why it gets a good slot it doesn't deserve.

Will be interesting to see how The Wright Stuff does, not particularly well I suspect. Having said that I've often thought that should Sky News ever head down the opinion route in prime time they could do alot worse than Matthew Wright.

This isn't America. I'd like to think news audiences over here are looking for something a bit more substantial. Sky tried to go down this road before (Littlejohn et al) and look what happened. Viewers rejected it then and will do so again. Matthew Wright is a great presenter but he's fine where is. Apart from Sky News being a massive demotion for him, it's simply not (or at least shouldn't be) the right venue for his programme. On the point about tonight's primetime special, I agree with you. I'm not expecting it to do terribly well either. (I've predicted 500k) I'd love to be pleasantly surprised. |

Good night for ITV, Unforgettable did pretty well. Not much else to add, well apart from Daybreak heading further into GMTV zone.

For an advocate of Sky News like yourself this is a bizarre comment to make. Do you really think opinion-led news is the way forward?

Viewers rejected it then and will do so again. It's funny you should mention this topic because earlier on today, Kay Burley was interviewing a Labour MP about the phone hacking scandal in a very fox news style/aggressive way. The MP caught on to the way she was speaking to him and in a rather heated interview preceeded to call her 'dim' and that she was forcing her opinion on the viewers. (She deserved it ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDYal...ure=youtu.be&aNot one of Sky News' best moments. |

Ye gods!
Regarding Daybreak and BBC Breakfast - the ratings shows that most of the country aren't brain dead (I watched a bit of Daybreak and in-between the ads, when the programme was on - they asked at £1.50 from a BT landline, how many years there were in a century ). So much for making it much more "news led"And to top it off "Today" on Radio Four is the most listened too breakfast programme in the London (and nationally gets 6 million listeners) Hurray, not all, in fact most of the UK aren't pig shit thick. Why do ITV carry on with it's drivel? (Bargin Hunt on BBc1 gets twice as many viewers as Loose Women at the same time - even though it's not the most taxing of programming). |

The point I was making is that Wright seems a competent presenter and if Sky were to go down that route, not that I am advocating them doing so, I think he would be a wiser choice than the likes of Richard Littlejohn. As you say ratings wise these shows are not proven to do well here and even if there were no regulations preventing it, I suspect the cost in making such shows, the cost to the wider organizations reputation and indeed the cost in viewers means Sky would decide against it. |

Radio ratings are measured differently from TV and they get published annually rather than daily and there is not many national radio stations, you cannot compare it to Daybreak and BBC Breakfast. Moyles for example does very well but in London the number one Breakfast show is Johnny and Lisa on Capital,

The 6m for Radio 4 isnt an average figure. Its the total reach. If you are going to compare breakfast tv with breakfast radio, should you not use either reach, AQR, or programme average for both?

Breakfast radio is the main reason why BBC Breakfast and Daybreak don't do better, nobody watches the whole three hours as most are getting ready for work and school so the radio become more conivient for news, travel and the odd bit of music. I remember a radio presenter daying that breakfast is to radio what primetime is to television.

Early US ratings indicate that The CW had a decent night. The premiere of Hellcats built on its America's Next Top Model lead-in and was up a staggering 116% among A18-49 from 2009's premiere of The Beautiful Life in the same slot. It also grew its audience in all key measures from the first half hour to the second.
