Some ratings from yesterday:

17:45 - Young Dracula: 284k (1.6%)
18:15 - Young Dracula: 272k (1.4%)

I've decided i'm only going to post ratings for new programming from now on. Those ratings are disappointing considering it was managing twice that last year - i'd put the drop down to being overshadowed by Wizards vs Aliens.

Are you comparing to the overnights or officials from last year?

Well, officials but it can't have timeshifted by that much (i.e if it got 500k in the officials, it would have got 400k in the overnights).

A boost over 300k wouldn't make it look too bad though, Wizards seems to be the only show with new episodes that's out rated it this Autumn.

It's still the first time since the series before last years revival that it's fallen outside the weekly top 10.

Then again, they still have The Dumping Ground starting 4th January for a hit.

How big an audience would you say CBBC needs for a hit? It's easily the biggest kids channel (not including preschool) Looking at barb CITV have only have Almost Naked Animals thats recently rated over 200k regularly. On Disney only Jessie made over 200k and the channels struggle over 100k.

On CITV, Horrid Henry has rated over 300k a number of times.

Disney Channel here have managed over a million on two occasions for the TV movies. They have managed over 600k for some special editions of their programmes.

For CBBC, I would actually say over 500k. The Sarah Jane Adventures, Tracy Beaker Returns, Wolfblood, Young Dracula, Wizards vs Aliens etc have only managed that. One episode of SJA consolidated to 993k, CBBC's highest audience ever.

The upcoming 'The Dumping Ground' should be looking to easily get over 500k every week, as it's predecessor 'Tracy Beaker Returns' managed that in it's first series.

Yesterday's ratings;

CBBC on BBC One:
15:35 - The Slammer: 230k (2.5%)
16:00 - Help! My Supply Teacher is Magic: 328k (3.1%)
16:30 - Rocket's Island: 282k (2.3%)
17:00 - Newsround: 535k (3.9%)

CBBC:
16:00 - Tracy Beaker Returns: 289k (2.7%)
16:30 - Sadie J: 282k (2.3%)
17:45 - Blue Peter: 258k (1.5%)

Today's ratings for both will be very interesting.

The proof of pudding, as regards the appetite for uk produced kids programming on a dedicated channel might be what has happened to the audience figures for CITV - all children's programmes disappeared from the competing primetime slot on ITV in 2007.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CITV#Ratings

Could it be argued that viewing figures might fare better on CBBC given the popularity of current and recent productions in the BBC portfolio.

How much new children's programming has ITV commissioned or produced since it switched to a dedicated channel.

If Hassan would kindly allow, i have copied the full set of CBBC ratings from The Ratings Thread for yesterday

Here are the kids ratings:

CBBC/CBeebies on BBC One:
15:35 - The Cow That Almost Missed Christmas: 253k (2.7%)
16:00 - Blue Peter Christmas Special: 263k (2.4%)
16:30 - CBeebies Christmas Panto: 601k (4.5%)

CITV:
16:00 - Text Santa: CITV Special: 82k (0.73%)

CBBC:
15:00 - Flushed Away: 376k (3.9%)
16:30 - Horrible Histories: 222k (1.7%)
17:00 - Dani's House: 285k (1.9%)
17:30 - 12 Again: 188k (1.1%)
18:00 - Friday Download: 183k (0.9%)

CBeebies:
16:10 - Gigglebiz: 295k (2.7%)
16:30 - CBeebies Christmas Panto: 610k (4.5%)
17:15 - Mike the Knight: 658k (4.2%)
17:25 - Tree Fu Tom: 669k (4.0%)
17:45 - Driver Dan's Story Train: 537k (3.0%)

I guess CBeebies won the night then, as far as the kids channels go.

That's a total of 1.21m (9.0%) for the Panto. On BBC One, only 87k (14.1%) 4-15's were watching, compared to 161k (26.8%) over 65's.

On CBeebies, 287k (15.03%) of 4-15s were watching, and 179k (28%) of 4-6s were watching.


It was nice to see BBC1 have full in vision continuity between the programmes yesterday, with all the current presenters.

But would have been nice to see some old faces too.

Only 82k for CITV at 4.00pm. Very low for that slot.

Not much, they closed their childrens department a few weeks after they launched the CITV Channel meaning the end for My Parents Are Aliens, Jungle Run and Holly and Stephen's Programme on Saturday morning.

They have had some new programmes but I don't think they were actually made by ITV. They had the children version of Fort Boyard, a new series of Sooty, new series of finger tips, the cool stuff collective and a new series of Tricky TV but not much since the channel launched and someone on here mentioned they had a CITV Text Santa Special which was the CITV first Live Programme in 6 years

Thanks for bringing those onto this thread

CITV don't have a good track record of getting decent ratings for 'live' programming. Their only success is Horrid Henry.

I think it was, since those Saturday morning shows they used to do back in the day.

They do have some good new programming, they just aren't promoted much.

They need to bring back a brilliant Saturday Morning Show and so do the BBC, I loved SM:TV Live with Ant, Dec & Cat as I was about 8 or 9 when they were on that and everyone would watch it regardless of age but it probably wouldn't be a big success unless it was shown on BBC One or ITV1 but I am afraid it is never going to happen

The best thing I remember watching on TV was the action cartoons - Spiderman, X Men and Sonic and then stuff like Digimon, Sailor Moon and Batman of the Future. I don't ever see stuff like this on TV for kids anymore although maybe stuff like that is covered by video games? Kids TV seems to be very much about comedy nowadays.

CBBC always used to be less cool than CITV as well - CITV had all the fun gameshows like Jungle Run, My Parents are Aliens was an ace comedy-drama show and CITV also ran all the sci-fi drama serieses. One I particularly remember was about kids who could 'flip' things inside out, but I can't remember what else happened in that show.

By the sound of it CITV and CBBC are keeping afloat on the back of repeats at the minute - CITV particularly. I do miss the idea of 'family viewing' on the TV - the stuff being on different channels really separates 'what kids like' and 'what adults like' so you have to go specifically onto a kids channel if you want to watch tv with your kids or with your family's kids.

Those types of cartoon you mention are shown on DisneyXD and on CITV Breakfast

Yeah, and Digimon has a new season next year.

Holly and Stephen's show wasn't axed as a direct result of the in-house production closure, as it was made by third party producer The Foundation. It actually lasted another year.

Not even that. I think it only lasted 6 months (if that) and it's final few episodes were only aired on the CITV channel as ITV1 thought the airtime was better spent with cooking shows.

I guess the new schedule starts in January. Will there be a 15-minute Newsround bulletin on CBBC or not?

Upsettingly, Newsround will be on at the stupid time of 4.20pm on the CBBC Channel from Mon 7th Jan.

Bloody Tracy Beaker re-runs still occupying the 5.00pm slot.

BBC Two
07:00 - Naomi's Nightmares of Nature: 44k (1.9%)
07:30 - 4 O'Clock Club: 65k (1.97%)
08:00 - M.I High: 109k (2.5%)
08:30 - Hero Squad: 98k (1.8%)
09:00 - Deadly 60 Bites: 255k (4.3%)

They're not much better on other channels either.

Tracy Beaker reruns still hogging the 5pm slot , they might as well just do the Newsround bulletin then. At least it won't be every day, with The Dumping Ground (which CBBC would be hoping would be a hit) on at 4:30pm this Friday (4th) for it's premiere episode and then at 5pm for the remaining 12 weeks.

Thanks for the figures.

Interesting to see the jump in viewers at 9.00
