That Music Show on C4 on at the moment will struggle to get 1m - not been impressed so far.
Ah, Nick Grimshaw. *sighs*

To be fair, there's only one decent music show on telly now (Later with Jools) and even that doesn't rate except for the New Year edition. The bad ones have no hope.

Why did Vera get another series - I thought it did not rate that well last time?
This from the Press Pack:

In the UK Vera performs consistently for ITV and when the first series launched in May 2011 6.8m viewers instantly engaged with the characters. Throughout the first series the audience averaged 6.6m (25% share).

In June 2012 Vera was watched on average by 6.4m (24% share), and impressively during this run the series achieved its highest ever episode rating when 7.0m (27% share) watched the third film.

The series has also become popular in Belgium, Denmark, Finland and America.

Here's how the Harry Potter franchise has rated for ITV in the last couple of years (overnights, including +1 & HD).

Code:
Day Date	Time	Title: "Harry Potter and ..." (year)	Viewers	 Share
Sat 16/07/11	16:35	THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE (2001)		3.93m	(25.0%)
Sat 23/07/11	17:25	THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (2002)		4.08m	(24.6%)
Sat 30/07/11	17:40	THE PRISONER OF AZKABHAN (2004)		4.16m	(27.5%)
Sat 06/08/11	18:15	THE GOBLET OF FIRE (2005)		5.87m	(30.3%)
Sat 13/08/11	18:30	THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX (2007)		5.75m	(28.9%)
Sat 17/12/11	18:35	THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX (2007)		3.38m	(13.9%)
Mon 26/12/11	15:30	THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (2002)		2.77m	(16.15%)
Sun 01/01/12	19:00	THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (2009)		4.04m	(14.5%)
Mon 02/01/12	16:00	THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE (2001)		3.81m	(20.0%)
Sun 01/04/12	18:10	THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (2009)		4.10m	(19.2%)
Sat 30/06/12	19:35	THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX (2007)		2.67m	(13.0%)
Sun 03/02/13	15:05	THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE (2001)		3.42m	(19.4%)
Sun 10/02/13	15:00	THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (2002)		2.94m	(14.7%)

The two hour dramas like Endeavour, Vera etc perform solidly and sell well abroad so it makes sense for ITV to order more episodes. I'm surprised that with Lewis and Poirot ending, eye not look for a replacement, maybe DCI Banks can be shown as 3x120m rather than 6x60m or they can adapt a crime series like Roy Grace which I think ITV were developing or Cooper and Fry.

I'm surprised Prisoner of Azkaban has only been shown once in the last few years whereas the others have been shown 2-3 times.

A fairly big story in the US breaking tonight - Time Warner have dropped CBS in a number of markets, including New York, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles, due to failures to reach agreements over retransmission. Showtime has also been dropped.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/...ation/2613667/

Now we've seen this happen numerous times over the years but not with one of the main networks. I would say it's unthinkable such a thing happening here, but with the BBC and Sky as they are it's actually not.

I think ITV decided to rest it for a bit: it was shown five times between January 2007 and April 2010, and then again in July 2011.

Presumably the Itv and BBC1 figures were so low because everyone was tuned in to the big BT Sport free launch night sporting extravaganza?
So its blame BT for EE's poor ratings, that's an original excuse at least.

Just watching that shoplife on iplayer, noticed iit launched below the slot average, full of pretentious yukky teens.

Surprised there is not a thread slating it.

Going to be a few cancelations due to TW customers being cheesed off at losing channels, TW are a rather lousy cable company.

Premier League?

I know they are lunchtime K/Os, but even so, those viewing figures will be topped comfortably for fixtures like Tottenham v Chelsea and Everton v Liverpool.
You're probably right but I'm not sure they'll do it comfortably - at least in the early weeks.

As of last week, BT Sport had 550,000 orders. Let's say within a few weeks that doubles to 1 million.

To get a peak of audience of 200,000 if they are only in 1m homes would be quite an achievement.

Sky Sports is in 7m homes so it would be equivalent to Sky Sports getting a peak of 1.4m - ie peak audience = 20% of number of homes.

Sky Sports does exceed 1.4m peaks very often for PL games but they didn't do it often for Sat 12.45 PL games. It would generally have required a pretty heavyweight clash for Sky to get above 1.4m at Sat 12.45pm.

If BT Sport does end up going into all VM XL homes then that's a completely different matter - it'll get far more than 200k very easily.

But if it doesn't and it's only in approx 1m homes then 200k is a tough target.

Of course the 1m home estimate could be a long way out - nearly 6m BT broadband homes are eligible to get it for free but who knows how many of these will get it given the equipment requirements. But it could certainly be well over 1m and it will obviously build up over time. I suspect by Christmas they may be in approx 2m homes in total (ie including homes paying the £12) - if so then a 200,000 peak would be comfortable.

What will help BT Sport is that it's mainly being marketed as a Premier League channel, whereas Sky Sports is more broadly based.

I would think the overwhelming majority of BT Sport's subscribers are doing it for EPL, so one would expect them to watch the limited EPL matches they have, regardless of the time slot. Although I don't expect many of them know that in the main the matches are on Saturday lunch times.

In the ads Jake goes on about top pick matches that used to be on Sky, so I expect many think they'll be getting Sunday at 4pm fixtures.

Hmm, we'll see. Others have posted the claimed subscribers, and how it will have to go some. I can see it regularly attracting tens of thousands of viewers.

From Broadcast:

The Dealership got 901k (4.8%) excluding +1, as reported here earlier.
Thanks for posting these ratings. Shoplife is no Call Centre but I'm surprised how low it was. I expected The Dealership would have been higher as yelli

Be interesting to see how much it effects ratings and will more people just download?

Of those, only Half-Blood Prince was a network premiere.
I believe Half-Blood Prince only rated badly because it was scheduled quite poorly. I don't know how the premiere's of the new films will rate - Chamber of Secrets was pitted after X Factor on the Sunday and managed to pull in over 7 million. I think going on how X Factor rated last year, they'll give it the X Factor lead-in.

I think it should get ESPN sized ratings. All Sky subscribers who paid for ESPN would I imagine pay the £12 for BT Sport. Wasn't it £10 for ESPN? The numbers watching via BT TV will I'd imagine be pretty tiny, at least to start with, and it's also not on Virgin Media yet.

I'd be expecting Premier League games to get approx 500k, perhaps lower if a Virgin deal isn't sorted.

It's all pretty complicated though - my brother, as a BT Broadband customer, was all excited about getting BT Sport for free. Who can blame him, Jake Humphrey and those adverts constantly tell you that. Then I told him he actually had to shell out a load more to actually watch on the TV, and he could only actually watch for free on his iPad and PC. He was not best pleased!

Can't believe how long Emm has stayed out in front for. The difference in share between that and EE is astonishing too - and shows really that in terms of raw numbers it can only get so much at 7pm and there's clearly more viewers up for grabs later, so it's doing fantastically to be ahead.

I've seen the X Factor trailer a few times now, and I think it's a very poor effort and a poor trailer, just like last year's 'Whose Time is Now' advert. The show seems to be looking back again, when it should really be looking forward. The trailer doesn't tell you anything about the 10th series... just states that it will be a decade of X Factor, which is stating the obvious anyway.

Why didn't they make a comical advert like the Britain's Got Talent one, with Sharon Osbourne's return at the centre of it? And why don't they advertise the new change in the audition format to make casual viewers aware that they are looking to the future by changing it up and making it bigger and better again? Maybe they will release another trailer in the week or so leading up to the launch, but so far it's been poor. And I can't see that advert alone pulling in lots of casual viewers for the first show.

I'm actually a little bit surprised there, EastEnders' episode was very strong last night. Is this the first time ever (possibly outside of BGT weeks) that Emmerdale has been ahead of EastEnders for every episode.

Slightly low for the second Coronation Street, for whatever reason.

Another quiet worker at 8, Worlds Busiest Hotel, 1.3m + BB eviction, 1.8m & ashes highlights gives 5 good peak, ahead of bbc2 across day.

Wow, 1.8m for BB. Don't know if that includes +1, but that's brilliant (last week got 1.78m), so would be interesting if it beat that last night.
