Talk about milking your cash cow. ITV2's Celebrity Juice (100th episode, Kelly Brook replacing Fearne Cotton whilst she's on maternity leave) came back from a break at 10.46pm, had a buzzer round, credits rolled at 10.49pm.

So Corrie is down over a million on Mondays episodes
and rated similar to EastEnders on Monday Barely over 8million on a cold Wednesday in Feb (Corrie's natural home) can't be good surely I think had this rating been on a Thursday we would have heard 'People forgot' its not Wednesday........... ![]() And Emmerdale below 7million ![]() ![]() ![]() Funny how nothing gets said now but had it been EastEnders we would have 10 pages by now ![]() On a serious note, Corrie and Emmerdale are very likely to be just a blip whereas EE is on a constant blip at the moment. Yes Corrie does seem low but these things happen. As for last night. What the hell happened to ITV from 8pm onwards? Look like Summer ratings - not February ratings. FGF was an utter disaster. Surely they won't ride this one out in that slot for the next few months? A total waste with a decent 8m+ Corrie lead-in. The poor rating for FGF seems to have dented Lightfields somewhat dramatically. I never thought it would start that low at all considering how well Marshlands did. I wonder how the new big Monday night drama will do with a 9m+ Corrie lead-in next week?

I think Broadchurch will do fine for ITV. With a good 5.5 -7 million viewers. It seems like a good drama in a good slot.
Experience suggests that when drama meets drama, something has to give. Broadchurch has been well promoted, but then so was Lightfields and look what happened to that. However Lightfields has no star name in its cast. Broadchurch has David Tennant. And a Corrie lead-in.Should be an interesting ratings battle. |

re. EastEnders v Coronation Street: the issue isn't with the raw figure; it's with the share - the Monday night episodes of the ITV soap had 39.2% and 37.6% share while EastEnders had 32.0%. When jammed between two soap episodes, which should theoretically offer a healthy cross-channel lead in, that's isn't brilliant for EastEnders though, of course, not dreadful either.
Last night Coronation Street rated at 8.2m but the share was 36.9%,which is healthy enough. Indeed, EastEnders' Tuesday share was absolutely fine with 34.7% - that's more where I expect it to be rather than in the low 30s. |

The "Duck Dynasty" reality show on A&E got a 3.9 in the 18-49 demo! It beat American Idol yesterday! For those who don't know what the show "Duck Dynasty" is, from wiki: Quote:
It shows the lives of the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family-operated business, Duck Commander, which makes products for duck hunters, primarily the duck call named Duck Commander. The Robertson men, brothers Phil and Si, and Phil's sons Jase, Willie, and Jep, are known for their long, flowing beards.
EDIT: oh and according to tvline, 90210 is cancelled.

These sort of shows are very popular, I've not seen Duck Dynasty but I assume its similar to Pawn Stars which is a hit for History,

For those who don't know what the show "Duck Dynasty" is, from wiki: I guess there could be a market in the UK - there's nothing really filling that A&E/History kind of slot over here. Obviously we have History but it's buried away down the EPG. One further point to note, Duck Dynasty is produced by a company majority owned by ITV Studios. |

Considering how important sweeps are traditionally viewed it's even more amazing NBC have held back The Voice and Revolution until afterwards.
Smash is of particular disappointment. And the collapse of the Tuesday comedy hour must worry them too. Was all their recent success built purely on The Voice? Even when Idol was at its peak, FOX had other shows that did alright or that, like 24 and House, could move away from Idol and still deliver. The break ought to do The Voice some good. It will return as Idol heads into the duller stages of the competition. The third season was more consistent than season two, not hitting the highs but not hitting the lows either. And if it delivers 3 hours of ~4.0 ratings, supports Revolution and revives the Tuesday comedies, then February sweeps will seem less important. |

US cable can throw up the most unlikely of hits and I never thought a show called Duck Dynasty would be beating American Idol. I knew it had been doing well but I thought it was mid-high 1's, when did it get this huge?!

History have Vikings coming up and while I imagine it won't hit the heights of Hatfields and McCoys, it'll debut well. Their success along with A&E is astonishing. |

These are the daytime figures from Monday to Wednesday this week;
What's Cooking Mon - 210k (2.6%) Tues - 138k (1.8%) Wed - 107k (1.6%) Place in the Sun Mon - 337k (4.4%) Tues - 279k (3.8%) Wed - 212k (3.4%) Countdown Mon - 513k (6.6%) Tues - 493k (6.8%) Wed - 393k (6.4%) Common Denominator Mon - 381k (4.4%) Tues - 486k (5.6%) Wed - 335k (4.6%) Deal or No Deal Mon - 1.10m (9.7%) Tues - 823k (7.5%) Wed - 878k (9.0%) [LIST][*]What's Cooking is in danger of being dropped very quickly. Miles below the slot average, and despite having Place in the Sun after it, the whole slot is down. [*]Countdown's share is good, but the audience has dropped d-o-d. [*]Common Denominator was quite flat last week, and it looks like it will hover about the 340k mark. Tuesday's rating looks like a pure fluke. [*]Whilst DOND started the week well, the audience is down. That rating is the first time in a while it has got over 1.1m, but a sharp fall the next day brought it back down to the ground.[/LIST]The evidence is stacking up against C4. Something has to be done, and done very quickly! |

I do think though maybe C4 now need to aim a bit younger certainly in the later part of daytime, and perhaps bring something new to daytime TV.
Of course fifteen years ago Light Lunch was in that slot and it genuinely felt like something new and different, and a clear alternative to the tired fare on other channels. They need something like that again. In fact I don't know if Light Lunch ever did all that well in the ratings - and certainly it didn't hang around very long, it started in March 1997, a year later it had ended at lunchtime and become Late Lunch and a year after that it had ended completely - but it pulled in a loyal audience and presumably a very different one to other channels. Doesn't matter if C4 are rating lower than other channels in daytime if they're doing something different, but they're not even doing that. They're doing the same as BBC1 and ITV, with lower audiences. |

When 3.3 million wins the 9pm slot, I'm not surprised.

Child...Time 3.3m/15.2%,
Wedding Shop 2.7m/12.5% Child of our Time didn't get spectacular ratings and presumably never will but after a three year gap that's not so bad, and certainly fared better here then when it was up against Britain's Got Talent. Let's hope it returns to being an annual event. |
