Well done Jeff Ford, who has correctly identified that Jay Hunt has screwed up C4 news, and that its audience is now there for the taking.
Was Jay Hunt behind the changes to Channel 4 News? It's still an excellent news programme.Jon Snow can't read an autocue though.

Robbie is just a little envious that the bigger/better sporting event will take pride of place on the BBC's flagship channel.

A Hamilton/Button win wouldn't even pull in a peak of 6m viewers!

That was the 3D simulcast - pretty impressive actually, didn't think there were so many sets out there, especially a year ago.
The official numbers never made the BBC HD top 10. An overnight reporting error.

There is no way (as much as Derek500 would like to believe) that 140k watched the 2011 Wimbledon final in 3D.

I was thinking that as I posted the quote - then I was wondering did the BARB panel have an unusually high percentage of viewers with 3D set ups? I imagine it was nearer 0.014m than 0.14m with 3D. Although I saw this....http://www.tvbeurope.com/main-conten...n-for-olympics

So far, the only 3D broadcasts the BBC has made have been of the men's and women's Wimbledon tennis finals this Summer, which Mosey said was "pretty successful," attracting about 140,000 viewers.
The relatively slow growth of 3D is noted by the BBC, who claim that their coverage of the 2012 Olympic Games will require a key balance between ‘minority’ innovation such as 3D (the recent experiment of Wimbledon Tennis in 3D drew a peak of 140,000 viewers), and the more mainstream coverage, including, digital, HD, online and interactive services.

You really think World's Toughest Prisons is doing OK because of changes to C4 News? Not sure I can see the crossover in audience. C4N is almost always around 700k when I've seen it posted.

There would be some degree of crossover, given that the C4 News skews young and male.

And the C4 News audience IS down. Even Ofcom recently voiced concern about it.

F1 lunchtime races peaked at over 6m viewers many times last year. The British GP peaked with 6.6m last year.

The news bulletins have been all over Wimbledon. Murray was the top story on BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and Sky last night (didn't see Channel 4).

This was last year's Murray semi-final day rating as a reminder (courtesy of D.M.N. in Part 21):

Friday 1st July 2011
BBC One
13:45 - Wimbledon 2011: 6.09m (44.1%)
* 15-minute peak: 9.29m (42.1%)
20:30 - BBC Regional News: 2.98m (14.2%)
21:00 - My Family: 4.31m (20.9%)
21:30 - Miranda: 3.63m (17.9%)
22:45 - The Graham Norton Show: 3.40m (24.0%)

BBC Two
19:00 - The One Show: 1.33m (6.3%)
* all time low
20:00 - Today at Wimbledon: 971k (4.6%)
21:00 - The Kennedys: 1.32m (6.4%)
21:45 - The Kennedys: 1.25m (6.5%)

Watching BBC Breakfast this morning it is taking the two pronged approach of Murray in singles final and Marray in doubles final. Incidentally the doubles final is today, could we be seeing record figures for it? This was last years figures for women's singles final and men's and women's doubles finals day (yet again courtesy of D.M.N. in Part 21):

Saturday 2nd July 2011
BBC One
13:00 - Wimbledon 2011: 2.81m (28.46%)
* 2.90m (33.85%) at 14:10
* 4.78m (45.24%) at 15:35 [peak]
21:00 - Casualty: 4.94m (23.8%)
21:50 - Lee Mack’s All Star Cast: 3.15m (16.52%)
* series low

The media are all over Murray, I can see a high average and a huge peak on Sunday afternoon, whether Murray wins or loses. The interest is going to be phenomonal. Incidentally, people are being told to stay away from Silverstone qualifying today due to flooding. Couldn't have turned out much worse for them, and that's coming from an F1 fan.

Am I right in thinking Sky are funding the transmission costs of the 24 SD and HD Olympic channels they're providing to the BBC? Bit annoying for them if they can't be promoted properly. However the BBC are bound to refer to the ways to watch frequently (albeit generically on 'satellite').

I removed my post because it wasn't 100% accurate. They are having to generically refer to "Believe in Britain" and "The moment is here" in most of their ads, but they do have an Olympics specific one which does refer directly to the games, but as "the BBC's coverage of the Olympic Games".

Not even Strictly could get figures that high (average 53k, peak 71k).

Last year's final averaged 18k!!

Sky's 3D subscriber base has tripled in the last year, so figures could be much better, but hindered by not being live but on a ninety minute time delay because of F1.

11.4m is a fantastic peak - is that a 5 minuter or 15?

Super peak for Murray! The out-of-slot regional news and One Show did well against the soaps. Let's Get Gold loses almost 2:1 to a New Tricks repeat!

Very impressive peak figure last night. The final rating tomorrow will be huge, I can see a 13m + peak tomorrow based on this. If the final were in primetime probably close to 17m/18m peak.

Is the 2nd Coronation Street rating the full slot rating? It seems a big drop on the 7:30 rating otherwise.

Fantastic peak yesterday. No idea how high it will peak tomorrow though.

Humiliating for Let's Get Gold.

It is a tape-checked rating between 20.25-20.55 as it started a few minutes early last night (20.27). The 20.25-20.30 period, which includes a bit of Grimefighters, contributed in dragging down the average.

Yeah you're right - it was Dan Snow's Norman Walks from 6.30pm, replacing Wimbledon as it was on the other side and the BBC wanted to provide an alternative in primetime [EDIT: as the BBC defines it]. Wimbledon continued at 7pm.

All-day shares for yesterday: BBC 1: 29.4%, ITV1 inc +1: 14.5% (from C4 Sales)

I wonder if the BBC 10pm news saw a boost as so many missed the 6pm?

wondering if someone could post the numbers for 22:00 live from the house on 5* last night.
C5 cut the livecoverage from 60 mins to 30 mins

Yeah I'm interested to know too, and know if the ratings had a boost because of the anticipation of the eviction.
