Although it seems to be impacting ITV much more than the BBC or maybe even Channel 5.

Any idea why this is? Are C4 showing different programming than usual?

C4 overtaking ITV in primetime on a Sunday, traditionally a strong night for ITV, feels significant. And that was with Coronation Street in the schedule.

I don't know why ITV keep dropping these random Sunday Coronation Street's into the schedule. They don't work.

Channel 4's problem is that it's doing it with the Paralympics, it's ratings are poor without it.
And there's your answer! ![]() Perhaps with all this media attention, C4 might be hoping for better figures. It seems the media believe (or want us to believe) we're all watching the Paralympics, when relatively few of us are. |

The Doctor Who episode last Saturday has already time-shifted 1m. Quote:
Tom Spilsbury @TomSpilsbury
Dr Who's overnight rating was 6.4m, but after one day's timeshifting it's already gone up to 7.4m. I wonder what the final figure will be... |

I watch Sky News and they're covering the Paralympics like they did the Olympics. When they do the papers, the front pages seem to be plastered with Paralympics stories.

The media has really upped the ante today. This controversy involving Oscar Pistorius is making headlines everywhere. Can only bode well for further upward growth for today's Paralympics broadcasts. |

It's because they lost 2 episodes because of the football on Friday. I assume they had to air them last night or they'd mess up the sequence. They're doing it again next week too.

Things are shaping up very interesting for next Sunday. Hour long Corrie and X-Factor on ITV1 against the Closing Ceremony on Channel 4. Also Countryfile and George Gently on BBC1. I think there is some interesting potential here.
I can see the Closing Ceremony averaging about 5m, with the other shows being dented. XF will probably be helped by the Corrie lead-in which should reduce the dent a little though. |

But, the way things are going, a new series low looks increasingly likely next weekend. |

I thought that record had now gone, wasn't it narrowly beaten by Downton Abbey last Christmas?
Doctor Who (The Impossible Astronaut, 23rd April'11) Live = 4.748m Consolidated = 8.859m, timeshift of 4.111m So, DW Impossible Astronaut is still the most time shifted programme ever. |

Interesting discussion regarding Doctor Who, frankly I've been surprised by the negativity from some quarters about it's overnight rating when it always timeshifts very well, the bigger question is whether it needs the primetime slot I guess.
Thought you might want to know, looking at the latest data, with another day's playback viewing included, it's audience has gone up to 7.4m, so we've added another 1m. Obviously, there are usually diminishing playback factors as the days go on, but DW is a different beast to usual shows in terms of timeshifting so who knows...the opening episode of last season is still to this day the most time-shifted programme ever so dont discount anything. |

I kind of agree, I have heard numerous times now that 'the Paralympics have captured the imagination/hearts of the entire nation'. The figures really don't show that.

Plus if ITV didn't have so many soap hours throughout the week they wouldn't put themselves in this position. |

Not including the opening ceremony, the reach (3min+) for paralympic programming now stands at nearly 28m individuals...so people are watching, just watching bits here and there.
