Sunday 12th June Overnights Can we confirm whether that BBC2 F1 figure includes or not the BBC HD simulcast figure? I note TG and James May are expressly stated to do so, but not the F1?BBC Two 19:00- Top Gear: 1.61m (6.7%) inc HD 20:00- James May's Toy Stories: 2.57m (10.1%) inc HD 21:00- Formula 1: Canadian Grand Prix Live: 5.16m (20.6%) * peak: 6.5m ITV1 21:00- Scott & Bailey: 5.19m (19.6%) F1 will have surely won the slot easily if BBC HD hasn't been added. Even if it is included, then its a 5.2m dead heat with S&B, and a fantastic performance. |

I've just asked the same question - was F1 definitely shown on BBC HD channel? If so, I'll alter the rating. I wasn't sure because the DS article seems to suggest normal programming was shown.
Martin Brundle said so at 9pm after the switch. |

Do we know when BBC1's 8.5m 15-min peak was?
That's really quite an astonishing figure. Presumably it must have been whilst Operastar was on? |

OK, I've edited it. It got about 5.9m including HD.
With people proving able to switch, perhaps BBC2 will air more Andy Murray in prime time this year without interfering with EastEnders?

Impressive stuff. Enough to keep it on the Beeb for a few more years I wonder? Or will its apparent booming popularity just entice greater commercial interest from BSkyB and the like that will ultimately lure it away? |

Putting SYTYCD to one side for a moment. We keep reading on this thread about the "dire" state of light entertainment on the Beeb. This is supposedly one of ITV's main strengths. Do you really think ratings of below 4m for the performance show and below 3m for the results show even including +1 and HD are decent results for a show that just a couple of weeks ago got one of ITV1's plummest slots of the year? It's clearly below par, even taking into account last night's circumstances. You can't just blame it on the F1, as the shares were down around 2 points and 4 points respectively for the two shows. The weather was as terrible here as it was in Canada so lots of eager eyes in front of tellies, and quite simply it should have done better as an alternative.
) that is the BBC's second live entertainment show, after Strictly Come Dancing. In comparison Popstar to Operastar is behind The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celebrity and Dancing On Ice. So I'd say expectations/requirements are ever so slightly different.We all said the Results Show was on a hiding for nothing in that stupid slot, and so it's proven. Saying that it should've performed better. As for the main show...I'm going to be cautious to say it's flopping yet. If it drops next week then yes - it's most definitely a flop. I guess, though, considering the lead in and lead out it should have recorded much stronger figures. Not so much ITV's answer to So You Think You Can Dance? but Life of Riley! (EDIT: This is me thinking it through carefully but not wanting to fully backtrack on my earlier statement )

Some stirring from The Mirror about Daybreak. Not sure I believe it but you never know... http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/tv/ne...medium=twitter Quote:
Daybreak: Bosses can't afford compensation to axe Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles
ITV chiefs want to dump Daybreak presenters Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles – but can’t afford the £4million pay-off. The breakfast show is “horribly underperforming” according to senior sources and profits from advertising have halved since it replaced GMTV last year. Bosses are desperate for a sofa shake-up but the duo are on £3million three-year deals and would have to be paid £2million each if they were axed now. |

The BBC will most likely only be able to keep one of Six Nations or F1. I think at the moment, F1 would be better for them because the cost is cheaper per hour than Six Nations, it fills up many more hours in the schedules, it pulls up their All-Day shares significantly (which is particularly important to the Beeb), it also generally rates as well if not better than Six Nations games bar the 5 England matches, and ratings for F1 are currently at a ten-year high with loads of interest in the sport. But there'll be intense competition from Sky and ITV next time, that's for sure.
And we know how much "intense interest" ITV had in F1 - they handed the rights back early, and couldn't wait to get the coverage off air in time for Coro St. They would have gone off air last night at 8pm in time for Operastar - with mere highlights at 10.15pm. Given the amount of sports rights we are led to believe ITV is going to acquire - exclusive Euro2012 coverage, Six Nations etc - you have to wonder where all the cash has come from recently. Not all from Cowell shows, surely? Perhaps a windfall tax is due on ITV profits?

Brilliant prime time ratings for the F1 yesterday. It's a shame most of the races are on during the daytime, as the few prime time races over the last few years have easily been pulling in similar ratings to the Champions League football on ITV1. In fact even the daytime races always pull in more viewers than daytime football does on ITV1. I think if anyone considers the F1 to still be a niche sport they will need to revise their opinions.

Even 20 years ago, a peak audience of 11m watched Mansell win the 1992 British GP. And Mansell was SPOTY in 1986 and 1992, Damon Hill twice in 1994 and 1996. |

DanccI assume Aussie ratings will be late tonight, due to the public holiday? Also on the topic of F1, im not sure I approve, its hardly a very socailly responbile sport, it might as well just be a game of who can emmit the most carbon the fastest. I would suggest doing it on bikes, but ive seen the ratings for that on ITV 4. |

that is not completey fair, just because you spend an amount on one show or one timeslot, it doesnt meant it can spend it on another, so its possible they dont see Breakfast as an area they wish to invest alot more money in, due to low returns.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Five's version of The Bachelor will star Gavin Henson.
That should get it some column inches. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-13753762 |
