So The Voice managed to beat The Apprentice in the end then, but not the Queen. Fantastic figures for that - I bet ITV are wishing they'd bothered with it now.

Right, for The Apprentice:

Is losing half a million viewers a big drop? |

Seeing as Andy Murray is playing today, you would have thought that would be on ITV1. and would have brought in some decent figures.
Being on ITV4 it will only get a quarter of what it would get on ITV1. |

It will be fascinating to see what happens tomorrow now. Maybe viewers will actually give ITV a chance? I haven't witnessed such a negative backlash to a BBC broadcast in a very very long time. There seems to be almost universal agreement that they did a terrible job. Will viewers embrace the alternatives tomorrow or give them another chance?

I doubt the difference between the BBC and ITV will be that much different than the Royal Wedding ratings. It'll take more than one bad broadcast for people to abandon the BBC, especially if the concert is a success tonight.

Maybe. But the scathing nature of much of the comment surrounding the BBC's coverage has been a bit of an eye-opener. This level of BBC bashing is indeed quite rare.

Given how awful the BBC coverage apparently was, this may be a case where the BBC might have been wishing for a lower figure.
I wonder how much of a car crash element there was to the figures? Did they build as the weather worsened? |

No but the series overall dropped a lot more than half a million. You've only got the first 6 episodes there, and the y-o-y drops got much bigger as the series progressed, with the final down 3 million and a few other later episodes down 1.5-2m.
One more for yesterday: 18:15 - BBC News: 8.9m Source: Chris Partridge, TV Producer Quite a few new entries for the Top 20 this weekend, it seems. |

Only the criticism isn't just 'around here' this time - the backlash against the BBC's coverage seems fairly widespread across the media today. I agree with Dancc, I've never seen anything like it in a long time.
However I doubt it will have much of an impact on whether people opt for the BBC in the future. They're still seen as the broadcaster of choice for these big events and many will put yesterday down as a rare misstep. |

It does seem a very strange choice. I would've thought they would take advantage of the bank holiday and the relative lack of opposition (compared to yesterday) to put the tennis on ITV1 until 6pm today as well.
I don't think ITV have the same relationship with the organisers that NBC do - they must have lobbied to switch Sloane Stephens (US teenage tennis player) match to finish last on the main court at Roland Garros to fit in with their coverage. |

I thought the coverage did get a bit One Show-ish at times, but it added colour and I enjoyed rediscovering Anneka Rice. |

Two, interesting, programme "announcements" to do with ITV:
Spice Girls: Viva Forever - Friday 14th December, 90 minutes And one programme that may air next month, next year, or may air... never. The last option, is unlikely... Royal Babies - 60 minutes - to be broadcast on the announcment of the pregnancy of Kate Middleton |

They're still seen as the broadcaster of choice for these big events and many will put yesterday down as a rare misstep. Viewers have invested decades of trust in BBC1, that is why after 20 years - most viewers with Sky/Virgin/Freeview in the main shun Sky News for national events. ITV1 might get 'critical acclaim' but it does not come from most TV viewers. Who wants to watch adverts from Direct Line during an iconic national occasion? |

The criticism has definitely been a lot more widespread than people on here are trying to make out. I can only assume you lot haven't been listening to or watching TV/Radio phone-ins today.

I guess we will have to wait for the AI score and the Bafta win next year to get a better picture of the reaction. ![]() Quote:

If people were that pissed off they should be asking why ITV or C4 didn't show it. |

To be fair, the weather was atrocious and this affected the broadcast.

Its still a very small, vocal, minority that if criticised. Were talking a Tory MP, Stepehen Fry and some people on a TV forum. Out of 10m+ watching, I haven' seen much to worry the Beeb...... yet.
I guess we will have to wait for the AI score and the Bafta win next year to get a better picture of the reaction. ![]() ETA: I had no issue with the BBC's royal wedding coverage. It was a fantastic and rightly traditional approach. I enjoyed ITV's alternative but that isn't a criticism of the BBC. |
