US Ratings - America's Got Talent Hits Series High
You might have thought that with The Voice finished, it would be all downhill for NBC this summer. Apparently not.
8pm - America's Got Talent - 12.21m (3.4) * Final auditions show 9pm - America's Got Talent - 15.51m (4.5) * Las Vegas 2 hour episode America's Got Talent at 8pm was up 6% from the equivalent fast national rating last week. More interestingly, at 9pm, America's Got Talent was up 5% in the demo compared to the finale of The Voice. The 8pm episode was up 1% in total viewers and the 9pm episode was up 24% compared to The Voice. It's also a season high in total viewers. Compared to the first Vegas episode last year, ratings are up around 35% in adults 18-49. America's Got Talent's previous series high was a 4.6 (premiere in 2006) and last nights episode will at least match it in finals (or possibly exceed it). http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...ospital/96853/ Moving to 9pm, Masterchef picked up to a 2.1 rating and 101 Ways To Lose A Gameshow was steady at 1.9, building from its lead-in (a Wipeout repeat - 1.6). Seems that 101 Ways isn't quite as much of a flop in the US as it was here! |

That Nurse Jackie figure justifies why BBC2 never paid it any love
Does anyone know what the season two finale got on BBC2/BBC HD on April 30 (overnights and officials)? The HD showing got 79k in the officials. |

CNN have just announced a major revamp of their schedule, which will debut be phased in from the 8th of August.
http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.co...eliot-spitzer/ John King USA moves to 6pm ET Erin Burnett's new show will air at 7pm ET AC360 will be live at 8pm ET and repeated at 10 ET Piers Morgan Tonight is unchanged. Elliot Spitzer's programme has been axed, the Situation Room will air 4 - 6 pm ET. Looks on paper like a much improved and more news focused line up. Will be fascinating to see how Anderson does at 8pm, presumably they feel that MSNBC are in a relatively weak position in that timeslot these days. Its a bold move but I think it's a good one. However not being live at 10pm is probably a mistake. Indeed on some days if the 9pm hour is a pre-recorded Piers Morgan interview it means that CNN's prime time line up would only be live from 7 to 9. I think it would have been worth considering putting a Wolf Blitzer fronted show (be it 'The Situation Room' or something else) on at 10pm ET - an hour where CNN has been performing very well recently. |

Hollyoaks again above 1m, with a solid audience for the first look - is there a big storyline this week or something? |

Execllent night for Luther; IIRC not many programmes build on the Holby City rating (bar possibly the first episodes) but it's achieved it. Holby City did well; Emmerdale and EastEnders had reasonable shares though were dragged down by the 'early' slots. Hollyoaks has improved this week, and Undercover Boss launched well for Channel 4. BBC News thrashed ITV News, but I guess ITV didn't have a dreadful Tuesday in comparison to some figures they've recorded on that night. Does CSI usually rate below 1m on Channel Five? I thought it usually cleared 1m easily?
Maybe the clash with Luther in the 9pm hour hurt it, then people watched the news for the latest on the hacking scandal.

P.S. the 12am repeat which had an audience of nearly 500k and a 9% audience share last night probably won its timeslot. |

These are repeats, albeit of the top 10 episodes. Without tough crime drama opposition like Luther, no doubt they would be rating comfortably above 1m. As it is, I think they are rating fine, and in line with how Season 11 reruns are performing at the weekend.

It's understandable that repeats would be down, especially considering the opposition. It should find it easier next week when it's just up against Crimewatch. Actually BBC1's 9pm programming looks pretty impressive next week: Monday - New Tricks Tuesday - Crimewatch Wednesday - The Apprentice Thursday - Torchwood Friday - My Family (and a repeat of an upcoming BBC1 comedy) Saturday - Casualty Sunday - The Apprentice Commercial channels would probably love that kind of programming for a pre-Christmas week; let alone at the height of summer. |

Moving Anderson to 8pm makes sense in some ways - although losing an hour of his show might not be a good thing for CNN. He'll probably appreciate the reduced workload with his new syndicated show starting soon.

We'll have to see how the 10pm repeat performs, but I wonder if they might not have been better sticking to a 2 hour AC and pushing Piers Morgan back an hour. The intensive long-form interviews don't really fit at 9pm anymore, in my opinion. |

BBC1 and ITV1 monthly primetime shares (7-11pm definition from Attentional) so far this year:
BBC One January: 22.4% (2010: 22.5%) February: 21.4% (21.5%) March: 22.2% (22.2%) April: 20.9% (21.6%) May: 22.0% (21.6%) June: 20.4% (20.3%) January to June: 21.5% (21.6%) ITV1 January: 20.4% (21.4%) February: 21.7% (21.3%) March: 21.2% (20.8%) April: 21.5% (20.4%) May: 20.9% (20.2%) June: 20.9% (25.1%) January to June: 21.1% (21.5%) I'm surprised that BBC are actually up for June compared to last year considering the World Cup was on last year. If it wasn't for such a good June last year as well, I think ITV would have been ahead compared to last year as all their shares apart from June are up year on year. I think both broadcasters' will be pleased though, both broadcasters' doing well to fend off the competition successfully it appears. And here's the demographic information for BBC1 and ITV1 from last week up to and including Monday: http://i54.tinypic.com/2nbeq1w.jpg 3.6m is an extremely high 65+ audience for New Tricks, the highest for any show I think on UK TV. One other point of note from that is that The Marriage Ref is doomed, if its demographic was okay then it might have been recommissioned for ITV, but the demographic is bad and I don't think a recommission can be justified. |

Interesting moves, and I think rather good ones. Putting a proper news show fronted by a real, reputable journalist in at 8pm is a brave move and one that I think differentiates CNN from the commentary its rivals provide at that time of day. Cooper won't be tapping into their audiences, but he might just be able to find his own - especially, of course, when some major news breaks.
We'll have to see how the 10pm repeat performs, but I wonder if they might not have been better sticking to a 2 hour AC and pushing Piers Morgan back an hour. The intensive long-form interviews don't really fit at 9pm anymore, in my opinion. From what I've seen, they've varied the format a bit. Stealing ideas from the UK for CNN, I think they ought to try something like Question Time once a week and the 9pm slot would be well suited. It's basically a political talent show - except with a clappometer instead of phone votes! And the Sky Press Preview is good value with the right pundits in - they could make that a regular segment on Piers' show, especially with his press background (could integrate some online sources as well seeing as the US doesn't have such an active print press). Mix it with some shorter interviews regarding current news stories. Limit the 60 minute interviews to once a week - perhaps do them every Thursday and promote it from Monday to Wednesday. |

The trouble with new ITV1 shows at the moment is that you think that they they've reached the bottom of the barrel and then they surprise you by going even deeper. People realise that which is why their new shows are not doing well

I know that Germany is a lot more into both gender football than we are, but I do think BBC and ITV should show the Women World Cup and BBC1 and ITV1. Bet it would do pretty well - ~2/3m for normal games and ~6m for England maybe.

Live streaming is good to have for when a series is quite good and to watch a few minutes here and there, but it isn't essential- in fact far from it. There is no relationship between series ratings and whether there is live streaming and anyone using the 'coverage' theory just needs to remember that there is almost no coverage anyway, and Daily Star & OK Magazine are hardly going to ignore the show due their owners and the whole ethos behind signing the show.
Social media is far more influential, Big Brother needs to move along with the times, something Channel 4 never quite grasped. Social media is influential of course - but Twitter and Facebook are bottom up strategies. The buzz comes from people seeing things for themselves and talking about them - not being fed limited information in a top down strategy and then being expected to appreciated a 140 character summary of everything which happened in the house over the last six hours. The show will have a far greater social media presence if people are discussing what is happening on the live feed and the numerous reports generated on fansites, forums and Digital Spy as a result of it.

Very strong rating for the return of Undercover Boss. About the only standout figure from last night.
Luther has been very consistent all series and has more than earned a 3rd run. Quote:

Hollyoaks again above 1m, with a solid audience for the first look - is there a big storyline this week or something? I think though now Hollyoaks will be constantly on the bubble unless it can begin hitting the 2m mark again - heck, even hitting 1.5m. Jimmy McGovern thinks it is pretty much doomed thanks to shows like The Only Way is Essex and Geordie Shore being cheaper to make to grab the audience, and LIME, the producers of Hollyoaks, pretty much being responsible for all such shows in the UK. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s143/...-mcgovern.html Of course though people were saying similar things when Big Brother came around, and then we had one of the strongest periods of new dramas coming out of the US and a mini-revival of drama on the BBC with the likes of Spooks, Life on Mars etc. I think ITV, C4 and Sky are all upping their game at the moment when it comes to drama - sitcom is the genre where Britain is seriously lagging behind at the moment, but heck even if we get 2-3 pre-watershedsitcoms from ITV as a result of Coronation Street that is probably more than in the entire last decade. |

Yesterdays Womans World Cup Match Germany - Francy got a rating from 16.24 Mio (51.9 %) on german primetime.
I'm amazed that England's quarter final on Saturday hasn't made it onto BBC Two at least. I know it's there for those that want it on the Red Button, but it'd be nice to see the BBC championing Women's football a bit more than they are, instead of just hiding it away on 301. it's almost like they're showing it out of necessity more than anything, which is a shame I think. Would anyone be that outraged if the comedy repeats were rested for a week? They wasted no time in clearing the schedule of important regional news prior to a teachers' strike last week for the tennis, and plenty of people were inconvenienced by that. |
