They have replaced Frow with Jeff Ford.
TV3 are down quite a bit in share in 2012 versus 2011. Still ahead on RTE2, but the lack of cash is apparent. And declining X Factor ratings (less local interest - no Jedward or Mary Byrne) and no local version of The Apprentice due to lack of cash doesnt help. Quote:
As georgeS has pointed out - they really do miss The Apprentice on a Monday. The replacement shows like Paul Connolly Investigates/24 Hours To Kill haven't reached the heights of what The Apprentice would get.
Dallas did well in it's first series, but wonder will it suffer the same ratings collapse life Channel 5 did when it launched on Monday. Their first ever home produced drama called Deception didn't go down too well with critics or viewers. I feel Jeff Ford has a big job on his hands. if they ever lost Coronation St and Emmerdale - they would be in serious trouble.

One of Paul Connelly's shows was the fifth most watched TV3 broadcast of 2012 behind Corrie, XFactor, Emmerdale and the return of Dallas. Quote:
Rounding off the Top 5 was a TV3 home production, The Town that Travellers Took Over. In October of this year, 448,800 watched Paul Connolly’s investigation in Rathkeale in Co.Limerick - a town revered by much of Ireland's Traveller community as their spiritual home.
His Bogus Beggars & Ireland's Dole Cheats specials also made the top 20.TV3's first ever drama averaged 210k. The 6 part series started with 312k and finished with 184k. It was 48% above the slot average compared to the same period in 2012. It has yet to be recommissioned. The 2nd series of Dallas replaced it at 10pm last Monday. TV3 are also currently airing their first comedy On The Couch at 10:30pm on Tuesdays. Don't have any figures. |

Deal or No Deal should go back to basics. It needs to be cut back to 45 mins (or even 30), as there's far too much waffle and filler at the moment. They should get rid of the fancy dress/theme weeks and other twists too.

Disappointing figure.
I feel sure the testcard would have pulled in at least 600k... Maybe they could have had Susanna Reid as the testcard girl playing noughts and crosses with Bill Turnbull. That would have got at least a million... ![]() ![]() Quote:

So Daybreak didn't capitalise at all on the BBC strike. I actually thought the ''revised'' BBC format of a straight 30 minutes of news followed by a feature in the ''back'' half-hour worked well - perhaps ITV should try it ?

Why do ITV bother with all this celebrity/ reality garbage?
For what it's worth, I used to enjoy Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes when it began because it was ace to see the celebs wetting themselves with fear, although the novelty wore off a bit. If this new series is executed well, with a sense of fun, it might be quite an engaging affair. Could be a bit like Ant vs Dec when they were challenged to make up a boy band and stuff. Though presumably it'll be too long, as light entertainmnet shows appear to be these days. Mention of The One And Only on the last page reminded me that was a truly awful programme, not least because it just completely took the Fame Academy template and followed it to the letter, right down to the contestants voting each other off in the presence of David and Carrie Grant. And it was flawed from day one as the prize was to perform in Vegas and they put a Robbie Williams soundalike in there, even though clearly nobody in America has heard of him. Quote:
Whether or not Adrian quit The One Show and GMTV was still on air, I do think it would be basically what Daybreak is now and would be rating similarly.
The Adrian & Christine era of Daybreak may be the most watched but that was down on the year or so of GMTV before it. ITV Breakfast has been in decline for years and nothing seems to be halting it. Likewise if Adrian & Christine were still there I think it would still have similar ratings to what it is getting today. I don't see the point of changing it radically, though, there simply aren't enough formats for breakfast TV that would work. You could go for hard news but that's is a hopeless idea becaue the Beeb have loads more resources and had things like business and sport, and ITV Breakfast needs to be female-skewing for the advertisers anyway, advertisers want to aim at that audience at that time. Hard news formats have never worked at breakfast time anyway because the people interested in that are either listening to the radio or have already gone out. Even if you could do it, people wouldn't think of tuning into ITV for it, given what had gone before. The only other thing you can do is a Big Breakfast-type thing but that's highly likely to just fall flat on its face. So you end up with what you've got now which is the least worst option, as well as the most obviously ITV affair. I'm pretty sure Daybreak these days costs absolutely next to nothing. Quote:

Deal Or No Deal really falling now. I predict this will still be on for another year or so though. At best, this programme should be cut back to 30 minutes. All the silliness that wastes the hour surely turns some people off watching it?
Face The Clock looks especially weak. There is no doubt DOND is suffering on multiple fronts - increased competition, it's age, it being on too often and C4's own stupidity in breaking up it's long established partnership with Countdown at a time competition from both BBC1 and ITV is increasing, just inviting viewers to channel hop. It is still one of the best game shows around though - but familiarity certainly breeds contempt. I couldn't watch it daily anymore but caught an episode last week and it is still brilliant TV, and perhaps now could be stronger as a weekly show rather than daily show. C4's cheap daytime quiz show strategy has been fruitless too - they'd have been better off taking a bigger risk with one or two hour-long formats to potentially alternate with Deal or take on The Chase and Pointless (as just like Deal, they will tire themselves eventually - IMO Pointless already is). If it doesn't work it doesn't work, but heck they'd have ended up with one flop rather than three. |

Yeah. Why didn't they just keep 5 News at 7? They rated close to 750-800k. Whereas the move to 6.30 has badly affected 5 News.

Common Denominator looks to be doing even worse than Face the Clock as at 3.30pm. It is an absolute no brainer that Countdown needs to return to 3.15pm to see it's own ratings improve by about 50% and give Deal or No Deal a better inheritence in face of stiffer competition.

Isn't Lorraine usually very close to BBC Breakfast anyway when head to head, with about 200k or so in it?

well I hope last night's figures show STV that Scots will watch CL games involving English teams
Champions League Live: 415k (20.5%) Compared with 4.05m (16.7%) exc HD & +1 on Channel 3 across the UK. Quote:
The Holby figure will include about 400,000 watching River City in Scotland.
* Scotland - River City: 380k (19.0%) * Rest of UK - Holby City: 4.70m (21.2%) I notice that consistently fewer Scots (about 6% last night) watch TV in the 8pm hour than do people in the rest of the UK. Any theories? ![]() Quote:
Are the overnights normally this bad? Last official we have is 1.52m, so either it timeshifts very well, or the final episode just died.
Live: 473k (2.9%) / 553k (3.4%) Overnight: 556k (3.3%) / 633.5k (3.8%) Official: 1.01m (5.2%) / 1.15m (5.85%) Last night's overnighted at 530k (3.5%) / 641k (4.2%), so it's actually up on last week including +1, and the share was better with or without +1. And it's a massive timeshifter (although it's fallen a lot of course.) Quote:
Looking at that it may even average 4m. But even with 2m, it'll be the highest rated BBC3 broadcast for a while.
Quote:
Some rather respectable ratings for daytime there. What about All Over the Place USA at 7:45am (both days) and all ratings from 17:15 onwards yesterday?
Mon 07:45 - 207k (3.7%) Tue 07:45 - 212k (3.8%) Averaging a 16.7% share of the child audience so far. As for CBBC last night: 17:15 – The Johnny and Inel Show: 169k (1.1%) 17:45 – My Life: 326k (1.8%) 18:15 – Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic: 253k (1.3%) 18:45 – The Owl: 176k (0.8%) 18:50 – Newsround: 102k (0.5%) Quote:

Why are light entertainment productions so difficult to create. You would think a department would be brainstorming the next big hit given the investment in the big british television companies. Itv has paid to get the rights to the stars in their eyes clone. The bbc paid to get the rights to an x factor clone. How about coming up with another strictly to sell around the world.
In truth, every production company out there is absolutely desperate to hit upon the next Strictly. They'll be brainstorming for it every single day. But in truth you need a bit of know-how, a bit of inspiration, and a whole truckload of luck. It's gold dust, and you usually don't even know you have it till it gets on screen. Which is why broadcasters like international formats - they're already on screen, so you have a greater degree of certainty about how they will perform. |

Last week's Dallas in its new sexy timeslot of 11pm put on another massive (relative) timeshift (figures exc/inc +1): Live: 323k (3.5%) / 376k (4.0%) Overnight: 328k (3.4%) / 382k (4.0%) Consolidated: 920k (8.0%) / 1.07m (9.3%) Only season 1's* premiere and second episode had higher shares (a fan here putting a brave fave on it. )

Thanks for these, I got them earlier. Do you have the ratings for Face the Clock, Countdown, Common Denominator and DOND for Monday? If you do, it would be much appreciated if you could post them.
(I didn't think the +1 for yesterday's DOND had been posted.)

Glad to see Adele made good on her two fingers up to ITV last year.
By f*cking off to America and sending in a video message short enough that ITV bosses wouldn't be able to cut it off to ensure the news no-one watches started on time. |

Per Charles Sale in the Daily Mail:
"The launch of Channel 4’s new racing coverage has been so underwhelming since the start of the year that the viewing figures for the live racing, and preview programme The Morning Line, are down by 12 per cent on the corresponding 2012 shows." NB. Doesn't say where the figure comes from but it's a very specific number so it must have come from somewhere!
