The Apprentice should have gone out on Sunday at 9pm. The 8pm weekday start caught some people out as well as losing a few viewers to good weather. Also You're Hired always drags the rating for the final down. Bad scheduling.
Speaking of bad scheduling, somebody needs to have a word with Channel 4 about stripping dramas. It doesn't always help them. Some dramas would benefit more from a weekly outing. |

I am surprised how well the ratings are holding up across the board despite the incredible weather we are experiencing.
I read an interesting (yet bias) article from someone at Netflix basically saying linear TV is on the way out, something I do not agree with. Viewing is more fragmented as there are more FTA channels than ever before, but it is certainly not being watched by less people than in previous years. If BBC1 can attract 1 out of every 10 people in the country to watch The Apprentice between 8-10pm - (even though their scheduling seemed to cause some confusion) - I think these ratings threads still have a long time to run. Linear TV even managed to get 1 in every 4 people in the UK to watch the Wimbledon final on a sunny Sunday afternoon. This is some achievement. So overall, considering the above average weather we are currently having, I think it is encouraging the 5 main channels are managing to post healthy "as live" viewing figures across the board.

Opposite the News bulletins, and not stripped across one week seems to be the best place for them IMO. Ch4 seem to have wasted RUN the way they have stripped it. Mondays at 10pm would have been the best place for it, and it may have held onto the ratings it achieved this Monday.

So the BBC stupid scheduling damaged the Apprentice final figures. Love to no what idiot thought starting it at 8pm was a good idea. Still loved this series of the Apprentice hopefully next years will be just as good.
Btw are there any soap ratings please thanks.

I remember a recent report from Ch4 stating that their new drama's would be scheduled as 9pm events (can not find the link now). They vowed not to push them to 10pm. Not only have they gone back on this idea, they stripped one of their bright new drama's across a hot week in July where if you miss one episode, you probably will not tune into the next one as you have zero time to catch up via 4OD!!!???!!!

Another Channel 4 show which is a victim of poor scheduling.

What a day Sunday on telly COULD have been...
The Ashes, Open golf final round, British winner of the Tour De France (later twilight finish this year), and then relax whilst watching The Apprentice Final and You're Hired. Missed opportunity. |

Does anybody have the rating for the premiere of Ray Donovan on Sky Atlantic at 10pm on Tuesday?
Quote:
113,100 (0.71%).
![]() Quite poor, even by Sky Atlantic's standards, considering the amount it was trailed. Was expecting double that, at least. |

Sounds like you're still upset that you won't be seeing as much of Andy Townsend next season.

Froome has destroyed everyone else, and if you consider the Kenyan whinger British, then his win on Sunday (with the likelihood of the sort-of-British man from an island in the Irish Sea winning the stage again) will be one of the standout British sporting performances of the summer, even with an Argentina supporter winning Wimbledon for Britain at last. Accordingly, it is only right that millions will tune in on Sunday to see it on one of the major network channels. Oh, hang on.... |

Anyone know whether this year's BB set to be the best rated "civilian" series for Channel 5? It's been by far the most entertaining of the three anyway.

Emmy nominations announced (good for Downton Abbey, and the first time a Netflix production has been nominated)

Channel 4 has picked up the rights to The Taste, the non-derivative foody version of The Voice. The 10-part series will feature 3 of the US judges, including Nigella Lawson.
I think this is a good move by C4, but I remember Jay Hunt saying she wouldn't buy The Voice because it was derivative. Is this finally an admission that she doesn't know what she's doing? |
