What do you think Itv will wheel out against the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony which will be one of the biggest ratings of the decade.

What about BBC2, Channel 4 and Channel 5, what will they wheel out?
- BBC Two: a documentary - Channel 4: Lord of The Rings - this is the go-to movie for Channel4 when there is a big event a lot of the time - Channel 5: Big Brother Eviction |

There will be less of an audience expectation for these channels. ITV1 will be expected to hold up to an extent as the biggest of the alternatives.

There is the pre-show at 20.12, but I don't know how compelling that's going to be or even what it will entail.

If they do an hour special, they get accused of aggressive scheduling, plus then you have the half hour filler leading into the main 9pm stuff which wouldn't be great. Quote:

Fudd, schedulers from all channels are strange. They will do the opposite of what makes sense!

I choose great weekends to go away, so here's a post which unfortunately involves discussion of The Voice. Quote:
Outside of London, there are also sport events/matches of some sort in...
- Buckinghamshire (canoeing and rowing) - Dorset (sailing) - Essex (cycling) - Glasgow (football) Quote:
All the big events then!
Quote:
Will.i.am was the only good thing about the show. He was the only entertainment on it last night
Quote:
I actually thought You Cannot Be Serious was quite funny. I have always enjoyed Alistair McGowan's impersonations and they fit the TV Burp format quite well. It was an enjoyable show. Just needs to be tweaked slightly
However, it is WOEFULLY unsuited to a Saturday teatime slot, I know TV Burp worked there but this is far more niche. I complain about there not being enough pre-watershed comedy and then when there is one it's something that should be post-watershed because it's all very low-key. And also it got nothing from being after the England match, they showed one trailer in the ad break and that was it, Adrian Chiles plugged the Isle of Man TT on ITV4 but didn't mention it was coming on next and surely that was the whole point of putting it on then. They should have had Alistair in the studio doing impressions or interviewed at halftime, I know that sounds gimmicky but Alistair knows his football and football fans know and like him. And the scheduling of the next two shows is idiotic, it's about the worst possible slot you could put it in. Quote:
Interesting to see if there is a spike in SKY figures tomorrow -or whether its just trendy to say you have switched to SKY!.

I personally really liked ITV's royal wedding coverage last year. They will never be able to compete on the same scale with the BBC when it comes to outside broadcasting but it was a really slick, well polished alternative coverage. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. A breath of fresh air from the BBC's (quite rightly) more traditional approach.
Quote:
The show sold itself on being all about the contestants and was quite happy to have a dig at The X Factor for all the focus on the judges, but on TXF at the end of the day the contestants were always the star, while with The Voice they are almost secondary to the judges (sorry, "superstar coaches").
The show involved some giant swivel chairs, as obvious and as knowing a gimmick as The X Factor, and there were plenty of jokes in it, mostly from Will. And of course the coaches were going to get more airtime because they're big stars and they've done it and they were clearly involved at every stage. If you've got a famous singer as a judge why wouldn't you let them sing with the contestants? Quote:
Unfortunately I don't think too many people realise that you can get Sky News on Freeview and probably stuck with the BBC thinking there was no other option.
Quote:
Exactly - for many people ITV Sport is all about football and this is showing it can do other sports justice too. I'd imagine if you asked people their opinion on ITV Sport last weekend and this weekend their views might have somewhat changed.
But as mentioned, the French Open hardly picks up much interest in the UK, they used to show the finals on BBC2 and they never got much. And even during Wimbledon BBC1 never showed tennis non-stop from 9.30am to 6pm, so why ITV1 were prepared to do that I don't know, other than a cheap way to fill hours of daytime opposite a massive show on the other side. Quote:
I remember in summer of 1999 (I think), after News at Ten was moved, ITV played out all the Bond films chronologically and they did really well, up to 10m on warm nights. A different era.

I expect it'll be Olympics from 7pm onwards, the first hour probably being The One Show live from the Olympic Park. |

I'll be incredible pissed off if the build up to the greatest sporting event in the BBC's history is left to the guys at The One Show. I doubt even the BBC will be that stupid, but I'm not heading into London 2012 with the usual confidence I'd have with the BBC broadcasting the Olympics. The way it's going they'll probably miss the lighting of the flame as they'll be in the O-Room reading comments from Twitter.

Correctly realising that no one will be watching, Sky have got Kay Burley singing and dancing along to the music in The Mall. They can't actually show any footage of the event as its a BBC exclusive.

The BBC were rightly criticised yesterday (IMO) for the river coverage but the concert tonight - with a few dodgy moments - was brilliant. Well done to all concerned.
