NBC messed around with the Sydney Olympics and time-delayed it so much results were appearing in newspapers before they were shown on NBC
![]() It's a major shift for them and they see it as a big risk. Personally I think it will actually boost primetime ratings. |

A shame, Penn and Teller: Fools Us was a great show, it just failed to find an audience for some reason.

Shouldn't have spent all that money on those studios for the Olympics then.
ITV could save 100% of the cost of Daybreak by axing it. |

The BBC magic show was pants, but I thought the Penn & Teller one had potential.

Only 1.08m excluding +1 for BB. Ouch.
I know it faced penalties but still! +1 couldn't have added much.The Big Brother ratings are, I feel, particularly consistent, to the extent that some of this discussion seems a bit pointless. I don't think 1.28m to 1.08m is that much of a crisis, especially in the context of that channel on that night during the Euros. The fact it's still getting over a million is the big thing, it almost certainly beat BBC2 so that's one bonus. Quote:
Why are none of the semi's being shown on ITV?

Is it me (probably!) but I cant understand how BBC2 can have such a bad share in the middle of Wimbledon fortnight?

And replace it with what though?
Is there actually a PSB requirement for ITV to do a breakfast show ? |

Great rating for the football. ITV have really messed up with their picks this time round.

Is there actually a PSB requirement for ITV to do a breakfast show ? ITV still have the number one commercial television show in the morning. That is by no means a small thing. They soak up that ad market. |

I won't miss The Magicians but Penn & Teller: Fool Us was a great show. Sometimes I want to slap the UK television viewing public so hard! You should have watched Penn & Teller you muppets!!
![]() I know it was a different TV environment, but, at its ratings peak, The Paul Daniels Magic Show ran for 40 to 45 minutes per edition, so perhaps 1hr 20 mins isn't the best running time. Too many entertainment shows are dragged out to fill as much time as possible now. |

Just a note, BBC Press Office has updated today with provisional's for the 14th to 20th July.
Which means that next Thursday's update will be for the 21st to 27th July. In particular, timings and/or descriptions for: - Wednesday 25th July (women's football - vs New Zealand, 16:00, Cardiff) - Thursday 26th July (men's football - vs Senegal, 20:00, Manchester) - Friday 27th July (opening ceremony) Obviously we have gone over scheduling multiple times here so I won't repeat myself, but next Thursday (and Friday when DigiGuide updates) is when we get the first real idea of what is happening and when and what time the actual live festivities start on BBC One and who with. As regards the men's football, an interesting one. Given the news today about Beckham, I can't help but think they will do a u-turn and Beckham's only said that (with Pearce's permission?) to drum up interest after the Euro 2012 exit. In any event I can see both games being on BBC One.Also, in unrelated news, Outnumbered is back at Christmas and also for Series 5 next year. |

I saw that. Perhaps it only picks up in the second week? I don't know anyone who watches the first week, unless there is a British interest.

Everything else has panned out as expected, and as previous years. |

There is only one pick which could be considered questionable and that is ITV not having tonight's semi final.

Spain's win over Portugal bought the most watched tv viewing peak ever in Spain last night, 18.1m viewers.

BBC 3 has a seperate studio beside BBC ONE, I believe their studio will be open fronted unlike BBC One's.
Luckily the BBC and NBC have been alllowed create their own studios throughout the park because from the photos I have seen the temporary block being used by the International rights holders has a terrible view. |

I don't think I ever saw Fool Us, but I probably saw the last five or ten minutes of every edition of The Magicians, and the second series seemed a little disorganised, so I wasn't surprised by the drop in ratings. And, I think Fool Us rated even lower.
I know it was a different TV environment, but, at its ratings peak, The Paul Daniels Magic Show ran for 40 to 45 minutes per edition, so perhaps 1hr 20 mins isn't the best running time. Too many entertainment shows are dragged out to fill as much time as possible now. IMO the 1st series of The Magicians with Lenny Henry was better. The 2nd series suffered from being shown at odd times if I remember rightly. And yes, it was too long at 1hr 20 mins (enjoyable, but a bit of a slog for this viewer). As for Fool Us - thought it was fine, but obviously a full series didn't go down as well as the pilot. Perhaps ITV will only screen it as a one off special in the future. |

Looks like ITV is definitely back in "money to burn" good times then, as opposed to the "cap in hand" near-bankrupt organisation of just a few years back.
Seems a big effort to go to for an event your big rivals are covering exclusively and you can only talk about, and look on from the outside? I expect ITN have organised them, as the production company, particularly as one is for ITN's international services. |

I doubt it - the 3 over age players have actually been named as Richards, Giggs and Bellamy.

ITV will be able to show all the big moments from the Olympics, as normal within the context of news bulletins, hence what these studios are for.
