Incidentally, D.M.N. is Corrie's weekly overnight average 12.0m or 12.1m? I calculated 12.09m (12.1m to 1 d.p). |

Looks like Kerry Katona isn't such a big success for ITV2 as Katie Price was in her first series, 600k against 1.8m for Katie and Peter. However, she hasn't been hyped as much, tending to fade out of view for considerable periods, so this isn't surprising.
I often wonder if Jade Goody was still alive, if she would have her own ITV2 show. |

if the weekly average is where Corrie was meant to win over EastEnders, well I guess it did, but not by much
200,000 more viewes and 1% share. I expected more from the soap that for nearly all of its 50 years, was the unquestioned No 1 soap. I think this year belongs to EastEnders. Still in all fairness, Corrie is still doing better than Neighbours ![]() Take the live episode boosts out of the equation and the averages are: EastEnders - 10.56m Coronation Street - 11.75m A difference of 1.19m. (I hope I've done the maths right! )

EastEnders - 25th Anniversary 15/02 - 10.4m (39.6%) 16/02 - 10.5m (41.8%) 18/02 - 10.8m (41.5%) - 1 hour 19/02 - 14.9m (54.6%) - live Average = 11.7m (44.4%) Coronation Street - 50th Anniversary 06/12 - 12.1m (46.1%) 06/12 - 13.7m (48.3%) 07/12 - 11.8m (42.6%) 08/12 - 12.0m (48.7%) 09/12 - 14.0m (52.0%) - 1 hour, live 10/12 - 11.5m (47.9%)* 10/12 - 11.6m (45.0%)* Average = 12.4m (47.2%) All ratings are overnights and tape-checked apart from Corrie's Friday ratings, which have a star next to them. |

With tape-checked ratings, Corrie would be at about 12.4-12.5m for the week. In the officials, Corrie usually timeshifts more than EastEnders so the gap between itself and EE for the whole week average for the two anniversaries will be bigger.

I often wonder if Jade Goody was still alive, if she would have her own ITV2 show. As for Jade Goody, its possible she might have had a ITV 2, but its also possible she would still be in a contract with Living, so unless ITV 2 poached her, like Living did Katie, its possible that both Jordan and Jade would have been on Sky Living in 2011. |

Final comparison:
EastEnders - 25th Anniversary 19/02 - 15.6m (58.0%) - live Average = 15.6m (58.0%) Coronation Street - 50th Anniversary 06/12 - 11.6m (44.4%) 06/12 - 12.9m (45.8%) 07/12 - 11.8m (42.6%) 08/12 - 11.1m (45.9%) 09/12 - 14.0m (52.0%) - 1 hour, live 10/12 - 11.5m (47.9%) 10/12 - 11.6m (45.0%) Average = 12.0m (46.2%) Corrie celebrated its 50th anniversary with a week-long splurge of episodes relating to the night of the explosion/crash. EastEnders celebrated its 25th anniversary with a one-off live episode. You are not comparing like with like. |

So a series LOW for Strictly last night then. Robbie must be worried that without the pantomine audience SCD is losing it!

take the live episodes out, and we might as well not bother.
But I'll argue until I'm blue in the face that the EastEndres live episode aritifcially boosted EastEnders weekly figure and, as shown by removing the live episodes, Coronation Street has been much more consistent. |

![]() As Fudd says, they should have aired a 1.5h/2h show tonight and let ITV sort themselves out. |

As for week long story arc over big event for the Live episode, at the end of the day, those were choices made by both the BBC & ITV, so the differnce in storyline over the week, does not make the differnce in ratings irrelvant, both soaps could have done what the other did. Choices were made, that effected the ratings. |

They promoted the 25th anniversary, of course, but the focus was a one-off live episode revealing "who killed Archie". ITV promoted a week-long series of special "four funerals and a wedding" disaster story episodes. |

I dont disagree that, that happened, but you cant say that one mesaure is wrong, and that another measure would be better, then for that mesure to not give you quite the results you were hoping for, so you take out some data you dont like, until you find something to fit what you want to say.

Just to reinforce how far ahead The X Factor is ahead of Coronation Street (regardless of gross ratings numbers) a 30 second spot on Coronation Street was going for £100k on Thursday versus a 30 second spot on The X Factor for £200k tonight.

How do people think The X Factor, Take Me Out, JLS and Strictly will do tonight? I think: X Factor: 13.8m, TMO: 7.1m, JLS: 4.7m, SCD: 10.9m.
SCD: 11m - this is definitely going to be down from last week's 12m due to the earlier slot and no Widdy left in it. In the week when it finished relatively early due to the Festival of Remembrance, it had 10.7m, I think it'll rate quite similar to that figure, perhaps slightly higher due to it being the semi final. JLS: 4.5m - Cheryl's Night In in the pre-TXF final slot had 5m so I expect this to rate worse considering JLS aren't as "big" a name as Cheryl and also it's airing one hour earlier against a stronger SCD than last year. TXF: 14m - I am not expecting much of a boost for TXF tonight compared to last Saturday; the big boost will happen tomorrow. Last year's final Saturday show rated the same as the semi final Saturday show. Also 7pm is the earliest start for TXF this series which might catch some people out. TMO: 6.5m - the highest rating for this in the first series was 5.1m. I believe TXF boosts shows around it by 15-25% so assuming it's a 25% boost I think it'll be in the mid 6's, however I wouldn't be surprised with a low 7's result. |

Low for Strictly last night, but it was a bit odd to have it in that slot and the opposition was very solid. I agree they should have just scheduled it tonight. I'm sure ITV would've bumped back half an hour to miss it. We'll wait for tonights numbers before judging how losing Widdecombe impacts ratings. It'll clearly be down by some way because of the earlier start, but we'll see what sort of peak it builds to.
Excellent for Corrie yesterday, to cap an excellent week. I'll be interested to compare next weeks numbers to those posted last week - so see if there's been an overall impact. You'd think it should be a million up. |

ITV1 got the advertising cash from a more consistent performance through the week (and no doubt got more for a batch of 12m episodes than they would've done for a load of 10.5m plus a 15m).
I think its also safe to say that Corrie took the prize, for "silliest headline" |
