Very possibly, but the two Cowell shows really have raked in the cash for ITV plc and two years ago attracted the sort of ratings ITV last saw on a weekend when Maggie was still in power. However, the hype and less than stellar judges and performers have dented TXF a bit this year, but not too much.

Its really quite here I wondered where the thread had gone.

I find I don't always get notifications when people post so miss a few. Overnights are delayed by the way.

Manchester City v Manchester United will be live on ITV1, Sunday 8th January at 1pm.

Christmas showreel from the BBC.

Festive programming across the BBC this Christmas

Not the slot they will have wanted, but I think a lunchtime kick off was expected. I imagine they would have liked 4pm to give DOI a good lead in, assuming it returns that day.

The match should still peak at c8m even mid afternoon. Perhaps they should air ep1 of DOI at 3.30pm to benefit from that...

That
Looks fantastic. Seems that the Carrott and Henry "Ones" will definitely air over the New Year weekend, hope the Carrott one gets a good slot as thats the single thing I had most been looking forward to this year.

because Ice Dancing and football have such a big overlap.

Sunday lunchtime is better than Saturday at least. The 4th round draw will follow the game also.

How did the ratings go for the game last Sunday.

ITV went for the potential 'cup shock' game at Totton when it became clear that there would not be a shock, did viewers numbers decline?

Ratings have been released. Now a case of waiting for usual sources to update.

Hopefully +1 will help them pick up more viewers, will help in battle with C4.

And drops out of sight in week 3.

Could you tell me where the BBC HD figures come from? I can't find them on the BARB site?

I notice you quote percentages rather than actual numbers; the 36% drop was about 1.4 million, while the 3.4% rise amounts to about 3,500.

Welcome back to the ITV1 Tuesday night flopzone, I went for 3.4m due to subject matter.

And the ratings aren't much cop either....

I went for 2.4m for the same reason.

BBC Audience Information July – September 2011.

Channel 5 launched its new +1 channel yesterday, with a peaktime schedule similar to that of the previous Tuesday night, with just over three hours of CSI programmes from 9pm, starting with the premiere of the 20th episode in Season 9 of CSI: Miami on the main channel. So far this season the episode premieres have averaged 1.7m (7.2%) in the overnights data, with a further 373,000 recording and viewing later to bring the consolidated average to 2.1m (7.8%). Last night’s viewing on C5 was a slightly reduced 1.5m (6.3%), with a Performance Index of 92.7. However, the C5+1 audience was only 43,400 (0.3%), so did not make up the difference. However, overall C5’s peaktime (1900-2300) Share was slightly higher than the same night last week – 3.9% vs 3.1%. On its first day, C5+1’s peaktime contribution was 0.07%.

Almost 9.5m for combined EE showings - excellent almost 1.80m more than combined Emmerdale....

I doubt DS will start reporting C5+1's figures until it gets over 100k.

Not a great start, but I didn't even know the launch date.

Also, as of yesterday all Five's channels are now available on Freesat. That may help Five* and Five US's ratings a tad.
