It is fair to say however, that Channel 4 really did improve coverage of cricket. The 2005 Ashes was an excellent way for Channel 4 to bow out.

BTW when was the last Ashes shown on the BBC? 1997, I'll assume...

The ITV1+1 figure for the full coverage was 79k, so we can extrapolate and say that the match average on ITV1+1 would have been about 100k.

It's a bygone era now as I doubt the BBC would want to replace their antique shows and quizzes with cricket and then worry about how they'd fit in Wimbledon, which still does very well for them.
It's the same with the Sunday afternoon football. Apart from the FA Cup, the terrestrials have totally lost the knack now and accept it's a Sky thing.

Channel 4 did a wonderful job. I thought 1998 was BBC's last Ashes. I am probably wrong.

Very good for the EE repeat and that could time shift higher as well, good to see BBC3 all above a 5% share after 10pm, am I right in thinking its post prim time shares are normally some of the highest??

The 250k makes you think why did they bother airing the other match on ITV4...

Offspring continues to deliver for Ten with 906k, as they are reaching their season finale in a few weeks. They also have really good retention from Masterchef Australia, mostly due to Masterchef having a significant decline this season. House also aired new episodes last night, but I suppose that didn't do so well. Same goes with The Amazing Race Australia on Seven, as that show is not listed on Mediaweek's tweet yet.

I don't think the BBC showed the 1998 Ashes as it was in Australia. I think they only showed the home Ashes series live, in which case, it would be summer 1997.

To whoever was aking about EastEnders on BBC Three on Friday, the non-football schedule has it down for 10.30-11.30pm.

Sure, ITV will bask in the superb year-high ratings that will be delivered tomorrow morning. But for them, "whether England play 1, 2 or 3, all games are now on the BBC".

Oh, and both Semi Finals too.

Their tournament ends on Saturday, around 10pm. Early bath for Chiles and Co - that they are covering the Final in simulcast with the Beeb for 2.5-3m diehard lovers of commercial TV and ad break-interrupted coverage is a bit of an irrelevance really. A bit like having Chris Moyles doing a red button commentary option - it's there, we all know it's there, but nobody really cares. ”

That's right. Live in 1997, highlights in 1998/99.

And more highlights in 2006/07.

I think it was similar on Channel 4. They showed the 2001 Ashes, didn't show the overseas 2002/03 Ashes, and showed the 2005 Ashes.

Good rating for EastEnders. Held up well against the England Match build up and Won it's slot at the slightly earlier time. Good BBC3 repeat rating too.

I hope tonights EastEnders performed well because it was a cracker and im glad these 2 hour eps are written as Hours and not two put together.

I don't think tonights ep will rate that well though. The BEEB didn't seem to mention tonights ep (even after last nights) and for some silly reason the trailers have stopped

An official CBS press release...

Quote:
“Subsequent to recent developments in the creative and legal community, CBS Television today felt it was appropriate to reveal the upcoming launch of an exciting, ground-breaking and completely original new reality program for the CBS Television Network.

The dazzling new show, DANCING ON THE STARS, will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will feature moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood’s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen.

The cemetery, the first in Hollywood, was founded in 1899 and now houses the remains of Andrew “Fatty” Arbuckle, producer Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Paul Muni, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, George Harrison of the Beatles and Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramones, among many other great stars of stage, screen and the music business. The company noted that permission to broadcast from the location is pending, and that if efforts in that regard are unsuccessful, approaches will be made to Westwood Village Memorial Park, where equally scintillating luminaries are interred.

“This very creative enterprise will bring a new sense of energy and fun that’s totally unlike anything anywhere else, honest,” said a CBS spokesperson, who also revealed that the Company has been working with a secret team for several months on the creation of the series, which was completely developed by the people at CBS independent of any other programming on the air. “Given the current creative and legal environment in the reality programming business, we’re sure nobody will have any problem with this title or our upcoming half-hour comedy for primetime, POSTMODERN FAMILY.”

“After all,” the spokesperson added, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.””

I cracked up when I saw that!!!!!!! I am actually surprised that ABC didn't try that with FOX a few years ago with the whole Wife Swap/Nanny 911 thing. Or any other network for that matter.

Meanwhile, I shall wait for ABC's comeback press release. CBS has enough bad shows for the summer as it is (ie. Dogs in the City

I thought it was generally acknowledged that Channel 9 revolutionised the coverage of cricket

Later today probably, it was shown last night.

Let's hope it's good enough to retain most of the viewers who watched the first episodes for nostalgia or curiosity value.

Thanks.

I read it had 7 million for the launch is that regarded as good in the US where the population is 313,544,041?

Scaled down to the size of the UK population that's roughly 1.3m.
