NB. w/e 08/12/13 is the week of the Man Utd v Newcastle match and the midweek PL matches - we don't yet have reach and share figures for last week - ie this post is running a week behind post 3013.
BTS1 achieved its highest reach ever, excluding the free weekend - by more than 600,000. Although the two midweek PL games only got poor ratings they would have attracted quite a few people who didn't watch the Saturday PL game, thus significantly boosting reach.
BTS1 achieved its highest ever viewing share of 5 mins (excluding the free weekend; equal highest with the free weekend) - again assisted by the two midweek PL games.
In contrast to the above positive news, BTS2 had a share of 0 mins for only the second time since the start of the season (all other weeks have been 1 min). However this figure is (obviously) rounded so could, eg, be 0.49 mins (and other weeks could, eg, be 0.51 mins).
