Just commenting on reactions. I tuned in one episode of the week and was bored by it. They need a shake up, and quick! At this point of the year, they should really be getting in the high 7m and low 8m.
I'd say the ratings are fine. Anyone expecting high 7m's and low 8m's consistently for the soaps when they are being thrown to pillar to post is unrealistic. EastEnders is only going to go down to 4 million during the Olympics, during those two weeks on BBC Two it will fluctuate a lot. There is really little point into reading anything constructive into it's ratings for those two weeks. Come Monday 13th August the ratings will be back to normal. |

I expect a good peak for Big Brother eviction tomorrow given its quite an important eviction (if you follow the show).

Surely the over-riding point is that a very substantial proportion of the biggest games of the season are played on Sundays.
So it is illogical for the programme which features all these big games to be on BBC2. Incidentally some of the reports today talk about more games being on Sundays. That's true compared to many years ago but there is certainly no significant difference between the number of games on Sunday next season compared to last season. So I think this decision is just catching up with what makes sense. The change could easily have been made well before now. |

And considering BBC One is cutting back on it's late night slot this seems to be a bit off a bonus to me.
Ken I also think they should just drop the 2 now, and call it Match of the Day: Sunday.. Something that separates it from the Saturday show without making it seem like a spin off.... |

Yes I think if they swap around and look at what other programmes could repeat well in, or make better use of the slot, we could end up with a better schedule than before...

I think During the Olympics the BBC3 repeat could see some bigger figures. The Omnibus will stay on BBC1 friday nights will it not as that's what the BBC stated. |

Im pretty sure that's Sharons Return week which would make sense as the BBC will want everyone to move Back over to BBC1

It won't be on until 1am during the Olympics though. And the BBC3 repeat will be at 11pm.
I think the BBC should introduce a special Omnibus just for 2 weeks. Saturday or Sunday Evening on BBC3 |

The peak of the Opening Ceremony is going to annihilate the Euro 2012 peak.
The entire country - literally everything - is going to be completely overwhelmed by the Olympics. I expect the Olympics will be the lead story on the BBC1 6pm and 10pm news on the Wed and Thur beforehand - all the final preparations, people arriving, speculation re who will light the flame, security, transport issues etc etc. The average rating for the Opening Ceremony is going to be depressed by the late finish but I think a peak of 25m is easily possible. |

11:00pm on BBC3 sound good. When EastEnders has aired at 11:30/midnight it's rated pretty well.

Spotted these trends on Twitter:
United Kingdom trends · Change #MyCarStory Promoted #OllyRileyFollowMe #SomePeopleNeedTo #WatchDynamo Dynamo American Pie Magician Impossible Michael Johnson John Lydon 2 Broke Girls Given the poor terrestrial opposition, I think there's a very high chance Dynamo could break 1 million. If I recall his last series on the channel rated very well, just shy of the 1 million mark. |

Yeah. 11pm for EE mightn't be as much of a disadvantage as people might think. Worth bearing in mind the channel does very well normally anyway across the 11pm-1am period with Family Guy repeats followed by repeats of their 9pm documentaries.

Lets Get Gold has flopped. No buzz anywhere for it, hardly any posts on DS about it, and the few talking about it saying its a poor show which is a rubbish BGT immitation that couldnt even get a sponsor. I think this will be reflected in its ratings.

the EE ratings will be interesting, and I think the BBC could learn alot about EastEnders, its fans, tis demo, is there more to the BBC 3 repeat, than we already know. Its so rare the BBC get a chance to run any kind of test with EastEnders, this may provide them with this very interesting information.

No doubt Dynamo will have done very well - he has really built up his profile since the last series, which was pretty successful in the first place. Meanwhile, The CW continues to impress.. Quote:
The CW aired all-new ep of "The Catalina" Tuesday. Among teens 12-7, it averaged a 0 rating and 0 share. In other words: too low to count.

Yes that's a good idea. Match of the day: Sunday is good. Remember when they did Match Of The Day:The Road To Wembley for the FA Cup highlights. I'm not making that up am I?

Wednesday 4th July 2012
BBC One 20:30 - EastEnders: 5.42m (24.5%) ITV1 19:00 - Emmerdale: 5.93m (29.4%), +1: 220k (1.1%) 19:30 - Coronation Street: 6.94m (32.6%), +1: 254k (1.1%) From the comments above it seems EastEnders is going through a rough patch, time to bring back another character from the past in a massive week of episodes! |
