Per Broadcast:
"The coverage of Middlesbrough's 2-0 victory over West Ham peaked even before the actual game had started with 3.8m (16.1%) at the beginning." (As already posted, average rating was 3.2m). And worth remembering, ITV is paying £2.9m for every FA Cup game it shows (assuming each England game is deemed to be costing £5m). I hope somebody is going to ask Michael Grade about this next Wednesday. |

What about Ballykissangel - that started around 1995 didn't it? It used to get 14-15m viewers.
But yes, when Heartbeat was on it was a right mess, with Hotshots on at 8.20 just to fill the gap before Heartbeat finished. You shouldn't have ten minute shows in primetime. But Keeping Up Appearances used to beat You've Been Framed - everyone just switched over at 8.30 and switched back at nine o'clock. Autumn 1996, though, I've said this before but Beethoven, on for the millionth time, managed to beat ITV's big prestige adaptation of Emma. At that time there was a massive swagger about ITV and that line-up of Heartbeat, You've Been Framed and London's Burning was bulletproof. And their success was all based on quality drama. |

If you ask me, the ratings for The FA Cup on ITV this season have been mediocre IMO. To add a bit to the bit I posted regarding WWE Monday Night RAW in the US yesterday, the USA Network have issued this press release: Quote:
WWE Monday Night RAW Ratings Soar Over the Top Rope ...and someone said NaT is going five days a week, well Pushing Daises is in the 10pm slot on 13th March.
Last Two Weeks on USA Nets Highest Ratings in Almost Seven Years NEW YORK, Feb. 25 -- The last two weeks on WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW have broken ground to ratings highs not seen in almost seven years for the year-round ratings titan. The 2/16 and 2/23 episodes have delivered an average of 6.015 million total viewers, 3.028 million in P18-49, 2.9 million in P25-54, 4.055 million households and a household coverage rating of 4.1. "Charismatic characters, high production value, intricate storylines, action-adventure, soap opera, rock concert, comedy, athleticism, and drama are all a recipe for success. When combined with the partnership of USA Network, Monday Night RAW is the undisputed champion of cable television" said Kevin Dunn, Executive Vice President, Television Production. The two week delivery of 6 million total viewers for RAW was the first time that has happened in almost seven years -- since April 2002 RAW delivered over 3 million in P18-49 two weeks in a row, the first time that has happened in 6 /12 years -- since August 2002. This past week the 10pm hour USA was the #1 TV network among M18-34 (1.153 million) almost doubling the nearest competitor ABC. The 10pm RAW segment also drew in more M18-34 viewers for the night than Fox's 24 (9pm). USA was also #1 in the 10pm hour, above all TV channels, among M25-54 (2.262 million) and M18-49 (2.219 million) and beat CSI Miami among P18-49 (3.258 million). In the 9pm hour USA topped both ABC's The Bachelor and CBS among M18-34 (880,000) and beat The Bachelor among both M18-49 (1.1814 million) and M25-54 (1.951). |

That press release was edited last week. The NaT decision was probably only made a couple of days ago as a response to the ratings situation in that slot.
ITV have confirmed that the change will occur on March 13th so that's the day it'll occur. PD will likely move to 10.35pm. I can't see them dropping it midway through it's run, and they've paid for the rights so it makes sense to play out the rest of the episodes rather than just shelve them. |

What do the panel think the chances are that ITV will do a "Surface" to PD and shunt it off to ITV2...

Poor night for BBC One and ITV1 with FA Cup replay and NGE pulling in 3m, Channel 4 did well with Grand Designs up 1.1m and RR fared well too.
Masterchef did very well for BBC Two and I wouldn't be surprised if it hits 5m tonight although The Rise of the Superchef lost a good chunk of its lead in, IRT did okay for Five considering it was dented by MC and Minder was up slightly which bodes well for them recommisioning it for a second series. |

Mixed set of ratings last night.
Waterloo Road finally wins its slot for the first time this series and well deserved, despite it only being 4.3m. Hopefully many shows will receive a boost next week with BBC2 down about 2 million in every 8pm slot. Also Natures Great Events is going up and down like a yo yo-I thought it would still be above 4m last night. Very poor for the football, and NaT performed poorly from BBC NaT having a head start-no surprise there really. Desperate Housewives pulled in a decent rating and I don't think first look episodes should air on E4 though, because the show isn't strong enough to be able to do that (like Shameless). Also E4 is strong enough atm and doesn't really need any boosts. IRT seems to be about 1m down on the previous series and it isn't the big hitter it once was for FIVE anymore, probably due to the numerous amounts of times that FIVE have repeated the show. Minder seems to have stabilised, but I'm not sure if it's good enough for a recomission. Looking at Broadcasts other article a great rating for The Beast last Wednesday and great for FIVE USA to get its best weekly all hours ever. Seems like the revamp worked, even though 30 Rock and The Shield aren't appealing to a mainstream audience. Regarding tonight I could see Masterchef easily winning its slot and topping 5m. Margaret should perform well aswell with a good lead in. |

I think IRT was hit by the move to Thursday last week and Masterchef so i expect it will be up slightly next week. In regards to Minder, I think a recomission is likely given that it's in a difficult timeslot and its doing well considering homegrown drama has done poorly on Five in the past.
I can't seem to find the article on Broadcast regarding Five USA, can you link it here please. And you're probably right about Minder-FIVE need a homegrown drama which they can associate themselves with. It probably just depends on costs now as it seems to bring in a decent timeshift aswell. Looking at the officials which have just been released (W/E15/2/09) ITV claims 9 out of the top 10 positions which is amazing for them. It was mainly due down to that excellent weekend lineup they had alongwith Whitechapel and the International Football. I doubt we'll ever see such a successful mixture of programmes on ITV in a single week ever again tbh. Also Minder repeats seem to be slightly up on ITV4, gaining a boost from the FIVE version. |

Also in other multichannel news EE gains the top place with Skins coming 2nd in the ratings. |

Don't forget the XL edition on BBC2 on Saturday.

Why would you do that? It was a completely seperate programme. They simple used DoI's popularity to help sell it to the viewers.
I only put that there because I'm not the normal person that does that and in case someone different does it next week and feels it shouldn't be there. Also, and unsurprisingly IMO, Rogue Traders is no longer on tonight @ 20:00... in its place is a Wendy Richards tribute. As that's following EastEnders... that has potential to get 6m+ in my view. |
