Out of interest, why do all your posts refer to OAP's as if they're the only ones who watch TV? Breakfast appeals to many workers as it's a solid programme to eat your toast and have your coffee with. It's informative and basically is like the "i" newspaer by just focusing on the key news stories, weathjer and business news. I doubt many OAP's watch Breakfast!

It would be career suicide for Susanna Reid and she'd follow in the footsteps of Des Lynam, Adrian Chiles, Parkinson, Steve Ryder, Christine Bleakley etc whose careers all fell off a cliff after moving from BBC to Itv. Im optimistic she'll remain loyal to the BBC family.
Michael Parkinson worked for Granada (World In Action & Cinema) for eight years before he joined the BBC for his late night chat show in 1971. Steve Rider worked on World of Sport & Midweek Sport Special for five years before he replaced Harry Carpenter on Sportsnight in 1985. |

in this case however, her integrity will be shot the moment she takes the money, thanks to Daybreak and whats her name (seriously, what was her name?) that money is a poison chalice.

Rating of the night goes to Channel 4 achieving nearly 3 million for the Peter Kay documentary at 9. He really is the ratings gift that keeps on giving, surprised they havn't tried to poach him to front a sitcom.
Bodyshockers is performing well with 1.5 million in the 10pm on Thursdays- Katie Piper still seems to be a draw. |

Well that well known BBC One double act Bleakley and Chiles saw their career go down the drain when they went to ITV. Bleakley in particular has been demoted from Daybreak to a bit part in DOI, which is being cancelled, and Chiles now presents ITV's dwindling football coverage after being sacked from Daybreak. I reckon by the end of the decade people will be saying Christine who? Either that or she makes a humbling appeal for the BBC to let her back.
Bleakley played the BBC and ITV off in a bidding war thinking she could use it to up her contract and the BBC called her bluff and withdrew their offer. She saw her career go off a cliff and now is known as the kiss of death on any show. She is covering for two days for This Morning with Holly, but bar a country walking show against Eastenders and Tex Santa she hasnt got any more work lined up. Suzanna should stay at the BBC but I am sure less commuting would be more of a factor than the increased money. The thing is every time ITV change there breakfast show whilst they could appeal to new viewers they then loose loyal viewers who do not like the change. |

Most Winter Olympic viewers haven't got a BARB box, These with BARB box like watching bland programs and compete rubbish.

The contestants on the Voice this year are much more commercial than previous series. I've got a feeling there will be some chart successes this year [not that it matters really anyway], one standout act already tonight. The social media buzz is once again great as well. Saturday Night Takeaway will be in for a tougher ride this year.

Susanna Reid really would not bring that manyvmore viewers to itv I dont think or is she worth the proposed million they are offering. The programme has to be really good in order to keep an audience tuned in no matter what the presenter is saying. Im also not completely convinced how popular Reid is with a female audience. She is popular with a male audience though. She could damage her career if her itv move was like Bleakley and she failed to live up to the hype, I agree she should not have been persuaded by a bitter Adrian Chiles as she had a good journalistic background that got squandered on light entertainment shows. Reid should think carefully about that example and not just the attention and money.

Rating the same as last week will be fine. Wasn't it the Splash final tonight? Although you wouldn't know if it had just been cancelled, absolutely nobody is talking about it.

Hmmm. Regardless of start time I expected the level of attention it's got in the news recently to push it at least towards 4m. Obviously far too optimistic.

I'm not sure how I feel about that though. As soon as the show starts getting commercially successful acts we'll get the chavvy 'I wonna bee faymus' X Factor types. I like The Voice just the way it is.

Its touch and go whether The Voice creates a talking point really.

99.98% of viewers of any programme do not have a BARB box. I wish people who snipe at BARB would actually present evidence of any errors they think are showing up in the data, and that does not include their favoured programmes merely rating poorly.
I know the internet changed things this past decade but really? what is the population doing now that it wasn't 20 years ago? |

From a ratings point of view she seems to have swapped back to later in the week now with Louise Michin early in the week - and I doubt that's affected the ratings one bit. |

Well my issue with BARB has always been the same. Out of 60 million people how come so few households seem to watch TV?

TV viewing has been at record levels in recent years - it's just that they're watching digital channels 40-50% of the time.
But I can't argue with BARB as its all we have. |
