In your opinion of course. I strongly disagree and others do too.

That's observant

Rzt, do you have the ratings for the EastEnders BBC Three repeat last Friday 22:30-23:30?

TIA

Eastenders, BBC3, 22/6/12, 2230-2330: 763k (4.6%)

I thought it was about Doctors and the surgery, had no idea there was an electrical engineers slant about it also.

Shame DS ignored it at thats a great rating in an odd slot for it...

Thanks Neil


According to the DS article, there was none

Not really hopeful for live sport if the next couple of weeks are anything to go by. BBC HD is opting for cheap daytime repeats when CBBC is on BBC2 rather than continuing with live Wimbledon coverage as I'm sure they did in the past, and even at the weekend rather than offer continuous coverage BBC2 cuts to the same old repeats rather than stick with on court action. With just one red button stream currently on Freeview (and from next year on Sky/Cable) they surely need to maximising coveage on BBC1/2 and making best use of their rights rather than breaking at any opportunity.

No worries, thought I'd give rzt a break


Yeah, ironic that we had to rely on ITV to give us a rating for EE...

Doctors is also about the Police/CID


Thats not a bad rating for it at 10:30. why was it on later anyway?

Edit: Ignore me. Getting my days confused.

Yes tweeting, but GS normally in overnights gets 350-500k. I think the fact there are more tweets is because BB at least has a much older audience than GS. I feel GS audience is all Twitter obsessed people (a lot of teens), whereas BB has an older audience too.

The BBC weren't sure for a while whether they would be showing Thursday's or Friday's Euro 2012 quarter-final, and therefore whether the hour-long EE would be shown on Thursday or Friday. On BBC3 they scheduled Chris Moyles' Comedy Empire from 9.30 to 10.30 on Friday and then at 10.30 there was supposed to be either EE (if it had been on BBC1) or Russell Howard's Good News Extra (if not). Not quite sure of the thinking - like most alternative schedules it was a bit of a mess, but it didn't seem to hurt EE much. It was second only to Midsomer Murders on ITV3 among the multichannels that day.

Declines by show (Adults 18-49):

Anderson Cooper 360 (10pm-11pm) Down 48%
Erin Burnett Outfront (7pm-8pm) - Down 45%
Starting Point (7am-9am) - Down 43%
Situation Room w/ Wolf Blitzer - (4pm-6pm) - 42%
Piers Morgan Tonight (9pm-10pm) - Down 33%
Anderson Cooper 360 (8pm-9pm) - Down 23%

In primetime, CNN is down 45% in adults 25-54. FOX News was down 14%. MSNBC was down 17%.

I like you, your good to have a bit of banter with.

Surely if a show is actually any good Twitter would be rather quiet - I only find myself online or using my mobile during a show if I'm not really into the show I'm watching.

Thankyou
I don't watch the BBC3 repeat and if im out it's being recorded anyway as i have it on series link so as far as i know it airs at 10 unless i hear otherwise.

If I may leap to the BBC's defence (albeit half-heartedly), at least the people who are used to Bargain Hunt, Flog It! etc have an outlet for those shows during Wimbledon - whether they will be signposted on air as being on BBC HD and people actually find them is another matter.

I've said it before but the worst part is that they can't even take the moral high ground and preach 'good journalism' as while they may not take sides politically like FNC and MSNBC, their coverage is tabloid like and sensationalist. It's a shadow of the CNN of old and even of the current CNN International.

Apologies for the double post but this is a really good Politico article on the problems at CNN,

Particularly on the subject of CNN not delivering on its promise of quality journalism,

I remember watching BBC1 that night. I wonder what all the other Ratings Thread regulars were doing, although I realise some weren't even born.

I imagine one Ratings Thread regular sitting in the spare room, watching ITV. Tin hat on his head, and a plate of cold sprouts on his lap.



I didn't word it very well. I just wondered if there might be fewer episodes than normal during the Olympics, in order to minimise the number of episodes being relegated to BBC Two. They could always make up for it with some extra slots on BBC One, after the Games.

Nine and Seven has tied for their primary channel share with 21.2% each. Meanwhile, Seven's dramas Once Upon a Time and Winners and Losers premiere have disappointed for the night with 889k and 1.07m respectively.


I'm not sure if 1.07m is Winners and Losers' series low, but this does not look good for Seven's drama, when it starts at that figure. It would be a decent start if it was Ten, and in rare scenarios, Nine (although that would be below average for Nine). However, with Seven's history of constant 1.2m-1.5m for their scripted shows (ie. Rafters - until 2011, Revenge), this comes as a blow for the network.

I think CNN could move towards a more formatted schedule in primetime. Investigative documentaries that would actually make news and highlight their news teams work. Maybe a US version of Question Time. A proper one hour interview show with a decent name once a week (at most) perhaps using the Life Stories format. The terrestrial channels in the UK do their fair share of current affairs stuff so there are formats out there. They wouldn't even need new staff - just get the current anchors to front the new shows.

I don't think CNN can compete with FOX and MSNBC when they're using the same "man, suit, desk" formula without the extra punch that FOX/MSNBC bring through their partisan commentary.

Rather large Red or Black 'spolier' in The Sun,
