Looking at the ratings for The Voice posted above you know it would not take that much to get up to XF levels if it really got a roll on. That would be fun on here.

The Voice has certainly been something of a rollercoaster over the past two years. Rather fantastic from the perspective of this thread though and a pure ratings perspective because you can never be entirely sure what on earth you're going to get from it each week. The launch can land just about anywhere on the spectrum this weekend without it being a complete shock and there's not really any other show you can say that about at this point.

I'd imagine the EPG will just show it as one feature-length episode, same as the listings they've sent out to press.

It does. I will be watching.

I haven't caught up with Longmire yet but looking at 5USA's share yesterday (0.7%) it probably didn't do very well. This one didn't seem to get promoted much outside of 5USA itself, whereas Played is being trailed a lot even on C5.

Probably. That and it was a 90 minute episode with lots of filler like voting numbers.

Yes. The last in the series.

Oh that sort of sucks for ratings. Hopefully it holds up. I didn't even see Longmire scheduled which says it all really, I'm sure they'll repeat it. Autopsy did very well.

Following up on rzt's post in the old thread:

Quote:
“And here's a look at how the broadcasters averaged for the whole of 2013 vs. 2012:

BBC: 32.5% (2012: 33.4%)
ITV: 23.1% (22.5%)
CH4: 11.0% (11.5%)
CH5: 6.0% (6.0%)

ITV (+3.0%) managed its best family annual share since 2009. Channel 5 to two decimal places (6.04% v 6.01%) was also up year-on-year by +0.6% with their best share since 2009 too. The BBC (-2.8%) and Channel 4 (-4.1%) both slipped to their lowest annual family shares since at least 2004.”

Splitting out the main channels you get the following:

BBC One: 21.0% (–0.3% on 2012)
BBC Two: 5.7% (–0.4%)
ITV: 15.3% exc +1 (+0.4%); 16.2% inc +1 (+0.5%)
Channel 4: 4.9% exc +1 (–0.7%); 5.8% inc +1 (–0.7%)
Channel 5: 4.1% exc +1 (–0.1%); 4.4% inc +1 (no change)

Change (in % points) for BBC One from 2012 to 2013 by month:

Jan: +1.5% (start of daytime changes)
Feb: +0.5%
Mar: +1.3%
Apr: +0.2%
May: –0.3%
Jun: –2.7% (no Jubilee/Euros)
Jul: –1.3% (no Euros/Olympics)
Aug: –6.2% (no Olympics)
Sep: +1.2% (no Paralympics)
Oct: +0.2%
Nov: +1.3%
Dec: +0.4%

We also know whatever it gets that the same old arguments will be on here on Sunday morning.

Just how did BBC1 manage to go up in September and November when they showed almost nothing? - I mean they were really thin the whole of Autumn.

Daytime is bumping up overall audience share.

If it doesn't get over 7.5m the press will have a field day.

Remember with the daytime changes the baseline for BBC One was to be up on 2012 (away from Jubilee/Olympic/Euro 2012 months). September was boosted by not facing the Paralympics this year. October was fairly thin on drama IIRC and this probably contributed to a low rise on 2012: without the daytime revamp that might well have been down on the year before. November was really when the drama kicked in, wasn't it, with Last Tango and so on.

I could laugh at the draft schedules I composed with drama five or six nights a week throughout autumn! They've held so much back (or a lot of stuff has been delayed unintentionally).

And it actually rated higher than Takeaway.

I can't help but think they're going to move Intelligence to its death in that slot. It'll have a poor lead-in and face pretty difficult competition. Although I suppose CBS is hoping that The Blacklist stumbles badly with no Voice lead-in next week.”

I think CBS should move NCIS LA to Mondays and keep Intelligence on Tuesdays. The show itself I think it would be great for Channel 5 as its compatible with what they've got although not sure where it would go apart from Tuesdays at 10pm or maybe Saturday.

CBB was priceless tonight. It must get a 2.5m+.

The fireworks rating (or lack of it) is a peculiar one. Didn't we get an update from YOG regarding consolidation for the firework segment?

Also, Im assuming the 8.8 million does actually include the increased firework period as GB did rate pretty well in its own right iirc.

I'm guessing The Voice launch will get around 9million.

What suprises me with the voice is how they extended series 2 to 14 weeks from 12 before. I know they actually decreased the life shows, but to extend a series after a first series lost half of its viewers is pretty bizarre! Do we know if there will be Sunday episodes this year, if not the series won't finish till April! The mad thing about this year if the voice picks up this year and say stabilises in the eights, it will change the dynamics of the big talent shows, with doi finishing, bbc1 would have more weekends of big hitting entertainment tv, yes it would be close, but incredibly it would make bbc and itv even more level....

And then will drop of accordingly. I think it may have good ratings on the first night as people will want to see Kylie.

Yes, but his figures were based on the overnight timings, i.e. the 15-minute fireworks programme as per the listings. It will probably go back to the standalone fireworks slot in the six-week amendment cycle.

Yes it includes Gary parts 1 and 2 and the fireworks in the sandwich.

Really interesting that ITV was up, and BBC One was up for eight out of 12 months. Are we now seeing the end of the decline after years of movement to smaller digital channels?

Just to note BBC One, whilst down 0.3% on 2012, was up 0.3% on 2011. It also had its best December, in terms of share, since 2008.

I remember you saying a few weeks back that the number of 12/13m plus shows was going up. I think digital viewing has plateaued and decline in viewing of the main channels has slowed down. M

ake the shows and the viewers will come.

They are already making some more in the spring according to an interview I saw with Laurie Brett earlier in the week.
