It must have had 10m+ in the 70s/80s I should have thought?”

A Government public information film would have got 10m + in the 70s/80s

Kevin Bacon will only commit to doing 15 episodes a year which will put some limits on it. I like the idea but I still don't see how they manage to maintain the show for more than one season. And there's an air of Alcatraz about it - it looks like its going to be one thing (a big serialised drama) but is actually something else (a dull case of the week). We'll see what happens and hopefully I'm wrong about that.

Wow, a 26.0 rating among Housewives with Children for the BGT final. No doubt it was higher in 2009, but I have to admit that's impressive.

Isolating age 4 to 15 there:

- Sun: 0.876m
- Mon: 1.058m and 0.581m
- Tue: 0.752m and 0.511m
- Wed: 0.917m and 0.465m
- Thu: 0.904m and 0.641m

An average difference of 358k between the two shows in that demographic alone.

Compared with...

- age 4 to 15: 358k
- age 16 to 34: 253k
- age 35 to 44: 168k
- age 45 to 54: 87k
- age 55 to 64: 141k
- age 65+: 135k

So it's pretty evident that being during a school week did have an effect and knocked the viewership somewhat, probably about by ~500k for each of the result shows.

Broadcast have a handy guide on the US renewals/cancellations and how it affects the UK channels:

Sky Living and E4 have been affected the most, with 3 cancellations each.

Interesting to see that the "clapped out"

Cube was only 2.5m behind BBCs Voice on Saturday night - and even misplaced Emm managed to not be too overwhelmed by it on Sunday night.

Another week of bad PR for The Voice - I.Am.Ill refuses to stop tweeting on air, Messedup J does a Gerald Ratner and criticises it on BBC1, Holly Williebooby catches the judges (oops - sorry, coaches) watching BGT. Hilarious - you couldn't make it up.

All we need on Saturday night is for Williebooby to repeat that hilarious line "this is the no.1 show on tv"

Don't forget the 24 live HD streams for satellite and cable viewers...

I agree with DMN, it will be fascinating to see when big events clash with the likes of Corrie and Emmers, and whatever female-skewing counterprogramming ITV1 throws in, e.g. The Jesus v Judas Elimination Battle Rounds.

After they have first learned..

I.Am.ill - How to string a sentence together that makes sense...

Messedup J - To talk to Danny Cohen when he asks to speak with you..

Danny O'Lookatme - To stop counting "the endless amount of women chasing me and offering me marriage proposals"... :yawn:

SIR Tom Drones - To stop looking as if you are going to fall asleep at the whole thing... :sleep:

It's all about The Voice!

an hour of highlights at 10.35pm nightly would suffice- and press your red nob for anything else!

It was never going to be just an hour of highlights. I'm just glad BBC2 has been mostly spared.

Well let's put it like this - I think you're going to need more than one hand for the amount of times BBC One crosses 10m during those 2 weeks.

Brilliant in so many ways

The ABC schedule is out.

http://www.deadline.com/2012/05/2012...t/#more-272518

Tuesday Nights at 9pm will see Fox, NBC and ABC go head to head with young skewing sitcoms. If I was CBS I would be putting my best new Drama pilot there.

Apart from the opening ceremony, in terms of averages I don't think it will get past 10m on any programme apart from the mens 100m maybe. Especially considering the way the BBC are splitting up the programmes - I can't see any days where they'd be able to sustain an average of 10m between 7 and 10
