The more concering rating IMO is Later, which maybe harming Newsnight
From what I read on the BBC Press site earlier they've got quite a big week coming up for the series finale in a couple of weeks with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Noel Gallagher and Bjork all on the same show. If that lineup doesn't bring about a decent audience, then I guess nothing will! |

I don't get what the story is with Later. Why don't more people watch apart from the big New Year show? It's about the only music show on TV worth watching, heck these days about the only music show on TV period and it logs pitiful numbers most weeks.

Yet again on Facebook, status' are all about Frozen Planet. It will get another strong rating. It targets all types of audiences, they must be happy as it does pull in the younger demographic too.

US finals. Glee (3.0), New Girl (3.6), Last Man Standing (2.7) all adjusted up a tenth whilst Body of Proof (1.9) was adjusted down a tenth. Everything else unchanged, Quote:
As for X Factor USA being renewed, it's no surprise. And judging by the relative speed with which it happened, I doubt there were any major sticking points in the negotiations. Although I suspect Sony won't put up a $5m prize next year!
Quote:
You'd think really the CW would follow Cables lead and schedule more agressively in the summer when the main networks are slightly less competitive. I'm not saying launch everything there, but I think some series might benefit from being tested in the summer rather than thrown into the mix in the fall.
Cable can do it because their drama costs less and they have carriage fees that boost their income outside of ad rates. Quote:
The CW also announced their midseason schedule today (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...hedule/109422/). The final season of One Tree Hill is facing American Idol. Great Scheduling
Quote:
Dawn Ostroff really should have gone long ago but the new person in charge does seem to be wanting to make The CW a broader network, it was always funny that the show that were hits were Smallville and Supernatural which were more male oriented. Hart of Dixie seems to be have become a surprise hit compared to the hyped Ringer and Secret Circle. I think they should look at developing more action and supernatural shows as well as comedy and phase out Gossip Girl and 90210. I would exploit the DC Comics connection, a Smallville style Wonder Woman series would have been interesting as would a Batman series although due to the films, Batman is out of bounds.
Quote:
The bottom line is that OTH was going to be in a rough position, no matter what day scheduled. But putting the show, on its final season, against one of the strongest opposition such as Idol is like giving the show a slap in the face. It feels like they are promoting a burn-off, to quietly bow out, rather than a midseason show. It would have been less damaging to air on a Monday or Tuesday.

That'll have more to do with the winner's eventual success than anything else. Although as is always the case with these kind of shows the $5 million prize has been somewhat overstated. What Sony ends up paying will be considerably less than that I imagine just like the winner of the UK version doesn't really get £1 million record contract.

This is a bit of tricky situation. It is worth mentioning for example that whilst Supernatural and Smallville were (for a time) the biggest show with the general 18-49 audience shows like Gossip Girl weren't sold on that audience and still aren't. Gossip Girl is more popular with W18-34 (the demo ads for it are sold on) and that's why its been able to command relatively high ad rates.

Absolutely amazing for Frozen Planet. I had a feeling it might increase a bit but not to nearly 8m! Even more impressive when you consider the crap lead in it has.

I expect it will timeshift well too, and wouldn't be surprised if the official rating comes in close to 9m.

Next week The Jury might do well on Monday, not so well on Tuesday against Death In Paradise then it will run smack into Frozen Planet on Wednesday and die a death from which it might not recover from for the rest of the week.

Ah, forgot the football was on instead of Midsomer.
So perhaps that explains the huge uplift for FP, although I expect there was still some word of mouth impact on the week. Poor football rating, it has to be said, for a game involving the club at the top of the league. Makes you wonder if the CL was worth the huge expense ITV paid and gave up F1 for. |

Good to see Rhod Gilbert starting to creep up, but still some way short of its 2m+ a week Monday night debut last year.

Part of FP's rise will be down to the fact that both the wednesday and Sunday eps got AI's of 94.

Fantastic well deserved ratings for Frozen PLanet, looks like the whole evening schedule on BBC1 picked up with the lack of soaps this week. News at Ten certainly got a boost.
And Waterloo Road back to decent levels. |

BBC having a very good night in General with even the Impressions show doing better than last week. But look at Hollyoaks that 1.6m is on top of the 1.3m it got the previous night on E4 so almost 3m overall. So what did last night E4 ep get then because even I who never watch the E4 eps watched on E4+1 not that I have a Barb box mind I just couldn't wait 24 hours until the next ep heh.

Goodness me 1.6 for Hollyoaks on a Thursday! Meaning it got over 3 million when adding the e4 figures it got yesterday! I am shocked at the 1.6 for Thursday, very rarely it gets that, usually around 1.2 for Thursday.
