It has Strictly's results from 18:50 to 20:30 and Marr from 20:30 to 22:00.

I meant 3rd highest Emmerdale of the week. There's not a chance in hell it'll even be top soap of the week, or even second, surely. I can't think of a time this has ever happened, in fact, even when massive storylines have played out?
I'd love to be wrong though. Just depends how much that Wednesday episode is trailed and how many soap fans will keep with it knowing there's no Corrie/EE at either end. Either way, the Thursday ep should do well (first one at least).

6.50 SCD
7.30 AR
8.30 Marr
9.30 TBC (any "sacrificable" comedies on the blocks?)
10.00 News
...perhaps?

Yes, it seems Emmerdale has tended to play third fiddle in recent years.
On Thursday 13 January 2011, the episode at 8pm featuring a fire and killing off Viv Hope and Terry Woods got 9.02m (36.5%) exc +1 in the overnights, but this was beaten by Corrie straight afterwards which had 9.61m (37.0%) and EE at 7.30pm had 10.21m (43.5%). (source)
The soap ratings look massive but this was the depths of winter; the shares are interesting.

Simple as.
They don't have to air them in that slot. Why not an hour on the Wednesday and one ep in the Thursday slot Corrie has happily occupied for the past few years?
No, it is going up against Strictly so it goes up against Strictly.”

Didn't a Friday night SCD badly hit CS a few years ago? CS isn't the ballistic missile it used to be and SCD shouldn't be too worrried.

Well on 6 November last year the BBC chucked a repeat of Michael McIntyre: Hello Wembley! up against the series 2 finale of Downton and it managed to get 2.81m (10.1%) versus 10.46m (41.5%) for DA. While that was DA's highest-ever audience, McIntyre did not much do worse than Marr's 3.31m (12.4%) last weekend, particularly when you consider that DA was 'just' 8.14m (30.7%). (All figures exc + 1)
I'd suggest another male-skewing comedy: something like Would I Lie To You, preferably a new episode but it seems we only get an 8-part series each year and we've had that.
I don't see the logic in putting the junctions out of sync though; I don't think the early start would help Marr much: he'll probably end up at 9pm again.
EDIT: the only reason for BBC1 starting everything 30 mins earlier would presumably be so that SCD can start at 6.50 and get the jump on CS, as otherwise you'd have:
7.20 SCD
8.00 AR
9.00 Marr
10.00 News
versus:
7.00 CS
8.00 TXF
9.00 DA
10.00 News
but the early start would hurt SCD potentially more than Corrie having a 20-minute headstart, so I can't see it.

Andrew Marr could well be down to 2.81m (or lower) before too long. Perhaps even tomorrow.
The key for Auntie is to appeal to an anti audience whenever one of ITV's hits like TXF and DA are on. Most men don't like TXF, so something like Merlin is fine, but I think the Andrew Marr programme is a bit too highbrow to attract the anti DA audience.

Something like Mrs Brown's Boys would do well against DA: it skews a lot younger (41% under 45 against 25% for DA for the episode of each most recently demo-analysed by rzt), a fair bit more male (43% v 35%), and it skews far more downmarket than most of BBC1's shows (59% C2DE against 44% for DA).
Obviously MBB appears fixed on Fridays now [EDIT: in fact it's finished its run], but something in that vein might work well.

MBB would be ideal in this slot. I do like it how the BBC now no longer wilt in front of ITV competition and show a decent alternative. Panorama against CS is a good example, a current affairs show mostly watched by men and ABC1s, the kind of audience CS struggles to attract.

Also worth noting that ITV1 beat BBC1 in all-day share, albeit by a whisker (19.0% v 18.9%) and including +1, but that rarely happens.
It was a pretty poor BBC1 peaktime schedule: while Miranda and MBB repeat well, there were also a bloody McIntyre repeat at 9 and of course more comedy repeats after the news. Too many repeats for this time of year, but at least things are changing soon with Strictly next Friday, then HIGNFY and Mr & Mrs Jones arriving the Friday after.
Piers and Denise no doubt beat McIntyre but probably lost their second half to the MBB Xmas special, not seen since Boxing Day. ITV1 also had Quantum of Solace to shore up the late hours, which will have helped their all-day share. It got 1.32m inc +1 on ITV2 in June (in a 9pm slot) so that probably cleared 2m last night.
Speaking of post-news slots, Digiguide has yet more McIntyre on Friday 12th at 10.35, but Friday 19th now has a TBA lasting 45 minutes in that slot - almost certainly Graham Norton?
Piers Morgan @piersmorgan
Congrats, and thanks, to @RealDeniseWelch - highest #LifeStories ratings of series so far, peaked over 4.5m.

Was that the final outing for Bond on ITV then?
Sky Movies 007 channel starts on Monday, doesn't it?

Next Friday according to this.
I can see this channel losing its novelty pretty quickly - there are only 22 Bond films plus the two unofficial ones - that's quite a rotation rate!
EDIT1: It's only for a month to celebrate the 50th anniversary. I thought it was permanent.
EDIT2: the first day's listings are in my Radio Times. Digiguide still has the channel called Sky Movies Showcase, I guess that will update nearer the time. Here is the opening day's line-up in case anyone's interested:
Friday 5 October - Sky Movies 007

Over in the US, Fringe started its final season with a 1.1, up from its finales but down 0.4 from last years opener... And 3.2 million viewers

"Peak" <said with scorn>. That should be his average against two repeats. And I bet that includes +1. And I bet it was at start of the episode - Coronation Street viewers rubbernecking before finding something better to watch.
Let's see if he's boasting about his ratings next Friday.

According to the Broadcast forum, yes for a year, when the rights come up again and ITV could bid to get them back.

Oh no! ITV will have to close down ITV2.
Grimm was the highest rated programme in the US, but overall CBS took night...

Made in Jersey is a big turkey.
CSI: NY should be moved back up to 9pm. Blue Bloods seemed to suffer because of it as well.

Indeed, and beating the two previous efforts is hardly impressive:
14/09/12 - Roger Moore: 3.51m , +1: 191k
21/09/12 - Dame Kelly Holmes: 2.88m (13.5%), +1: 157k (0.9%)
28/09/12 - Denise Welch: ??
* peaked over 4.5m (probably inc +1)
* 'best rating of series so far' (per Piers)
Next week Ronan Keating faces Strictly and two weeks later (after the break for football) it's Felicity Kendal.
