Never mind, ITV still has its roster of entertainment bankers to fall back on.

Er......

Indeed. And Monroe has been axed ... but DCI Banks has been recommissioned.

as have many dramas that were not new this year.

Samuel using selective editing again which may be accepted in his own thread but won't go unchecked here.

Here's a look at how the four main broadcasters did in the BARB Monthly Shares for November 2012:

BBC
BBC1: 20.2% (November 2011: 21.0%), BBC2: 6.2% (6.7%), BBC3: 1.3% (1.4%), BBC4: 0.8% (0.6%), BBC HD: 0.3% (0.2%), BBC News: 1.1% (1.0%), BBC RB: 0.1% (0.1%), CBBC: 0.7% (0.7%), CBeebies: 1.2% (1.3%)
--> Total: 31.9% (November 2011: 33.0%)

ITV
ITV1: 17.8% (17.7%), ITV2: 2.7% (2.7%), ITV3: 2.6% (2.7%), ITV4: 1.1% (1.2%), CITV: 0.4% (0.4%)
--> Total: 24.6% (November 2011: 24.7%)

Channel 4
C4: 5.9% (6.6%), E4: 1.8% (1.9%), Film4: 1.5% (1.4%), More4: 1.2% (1.1%), 4Music: 0.3% (0.3%), 4Seven: 0.3% (n/a)
--> Total: 11.0% (November 2011: 11.3%)

Channel 5
C5: 4.0% (4.1%), C5+1: 0.3% (n/a), 5*: 0.5% (0.6%), 5USA: 1.0% (1.0%)
--> Total: 5.8% (November 2011: 5.7%)

Channel 5 was the only broadcaster up year-on-year in November, with its family share growing by +2%. The other broadcasters were down: ITV (-0.4%), Channel 4 (-3%), BBC (-3%).

In terms of terrestrial channels, ITV1 (+1%) improved vs. last year. Channel 5 was down -2% among its primary channel (exc +1) or up +5% (inc +1) depending how you look at it. The other terrestrials slipped: BBC1 (-4%), BBC2 (-7%), C4 (-11%).

Within the multichannels, BBC4 performed very well once again by growing +33% y-o-y. For the second consecutive month however, BBC3 slipped -7%. Over on ITV, none of the digital channels posted a growth vs. last year, with ITV3 (-4%) and ITV4 (-8%) both down. E4 (-5%) slipped for the first time in nine months but Film4 (+7%) and More4 (+9%) performed well. It was the third month in a row that More4 was up. For CH5, 5* was down -17% while 5USA held its share.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And here's a look at how the broadcasters have averaged for the first eleven months of 2012 (January to November) vs. the same period last year:

BBC: 33.4% (Jan-November 2011: 33.1%)
ITV: 22.5% (23.0%)
CH4: 11.4% (11.6%)
CH5: 6.0% (6.0%)

The BBC (+1.0%) and Channel 5 (+0.5%) are the two broadcasters up year-on-year. Channel 4 (-1.4%) and ITV (-2.2%) are down vs. 2011.

He isn't really busy between January and May/June is he, can't think of anything else that'll take up his schedule.

Simon couldn't return to XF as he has the US version to worry about. But in terms of BGT, they would be hoping for stellar ratings next year, but they'll have to sort out their scheduling.

They'll have to either try and pack it into one show or at least make use of the 30-minute results shows. At the moment, it's just 'filler' for the first 15 minutes, a recap of the performances, guests, chat to the judges/acts etc. I'm puzzled as to why it always seems to be musical guests; magicians, famous escapologists etc would diverse it away from X Factor a bit more.

Thanks for the figures Rzt as usual.

Doesn't seem like much of a crisis at ITV after all. Quite a loss for Channel 4 there but almost covered by improvements with digital channels and the addition of 4Seven.

Is the BBC1's increase on last year entirely due to the Olympics, or was there other months where they saw an increase?

I'm surprised November on ITV1 is up, considering every single programme in every genre is down, flopping and heading for the axe, or so I'm lead to believe...

Upstairs Downstairs proved to be a costly flop though. The BBC spent alot of money on that show over one thing and another yet it died on its arse.

True, you can't move on this thread without seeing people posting negative things about IAC, The Chase and O'Grady ratings.

Upstairs Downstairs wasn't a flop, really. It had an average rating of 6.1 million for Series Two. Even though the figures were dropping as the season went on, even the finale was well over 5 million in consolidated numbers.

A trifle disappointing, perhaps. 'Died on its arse' – no.

BBC1 has of course had its Golden Year.

Which means that even a perfectly respectable performance next year will result in down year on year shares, which of course ITVistas will revel in. The reverse is also true of ITV1, so next years percentages will need to be viewed in context.

I might be saying this a lot in the next twelve months....

Indeed. ITV had a stage this year where 2.5-3m was considered perfectly acceptable for new drama

People make it out to be much worse than it was, it wasn't a ratings flop, nor was it a critical one. It just didn't reach the heights the BBC hoped. Personally I loved it, it wasn't as light and fluffy as Downton and they could've happily co-existed imo, not that the papers would let them.

Digiguide currently has Antiques Roadshow on at 8pm on Sunday 6th, hope this changes because if they let Mr Selfridge have a headstart, it could damage Ripper Street and, when it starts, Call the Midwife.

Death in Paradise is due to start that week as well.

In a Downtonless universe Im convinced UD would be still going and a million up on those figures. The comparison with DA dogged it completely and in the end killed it.

Yes and those who follow X Factors ratings keenly will note its perfectly possible to see yoy increases in all its shows next year if the right changes are made. That will certainly be a carrot for some on here.

UD's performance probably looked slightly underwhelming in comparison to Downton, and specially after the mammoth success of CTM which was written by the same person - but I don't think it was ever a flop. However it lost viewers week-on-week and no doubt that was a major contributing factor in not bringing it back.

Oh joy.

Thanks very much. Your daily roundups are much appreciated by everyone on the forum.

Just to make this clear BBC One has not had a golden year. Get rid of the olympics and the juberlee they ahve had a poor year in my opinion.

CTM is the biggest success

The Voice is shaky.

What else? Same old same old. There strong on drama and factual but Entertainment and comedy weak.

I think they will dip below 20% next year.

Ken

Have done 1st and 2nd, don't have much time at the moment to do the latter two, but hope that helps

So after weeks of pages and pages after every XF rating, we finally reach the final and there's hardly anything been said. How odd.

Anyway, got to be honest. That's about a million more than I was expecting for the final. 10.9m (inc +1: 11.1m) is probs more than they expected with the way things have gone this year. Major overhaul/re-boot required next year. ITV can't bury their heads in the sand again can they?!

The whole series averaged 8.7m (inc +1: 9.0m). That takes into account the adjusted overnights for Bootcamp weekend.

Well that's one way to guarantee the first series flops.

Least surprising TV news of the month.



And, of course, Life Of Mars was filmed entirely on Planet Earth and none of it was filmed on Mars.

That's because these figures please no-one.

ITV fans are disappointed because the final, like the rest of the series, is well down on last year.

ITV haters are disapppinted cos the figures are higher than we would have expected based on the performance of the last few weeks.

The phrase "....flops with 11 million viewers" is an oxymoron.
