Looking at CBB13 ratings, on Wikipedia there is a table showing the ratings of the 1st week, and it is an average of 3 million viewers (2.98m to be exact and this isn't including C5+1) this is really encouraging!

Not saying that the ratings are the be all and end all but this is really good for the show, especially a show on C5 which is 14 years old!

The ratings are up about 500,000 from the summer series and 200,000 from CBB11.

Well done C5!

It's no surprise they extended it with ratings like that.

Really great to see that the great quality of this season is reflected in the ratings! I think it's doing better than some of the later C4 versions now?

Well I've been doing my research If it keeps on this average it is rating higher than BB10 and is quite close to CBB6 in the ratings aswell.
I never would have expected that when it first went to Channel 5.

What ratings do other programmes on C5 get? The likes of Home & Away and Gibraltar: Britain in the Sun and so on.

I'm pretty sure the majority of programmes on C5 don't rate above 1 million. Certainly not above 2M.

Thanks. That does make the ratings for CBB even more of a success for C5.

Yeah it definitely does it's so encouraging considering back in C4's day there was nothing to compare it to, it is a channel that is more watched in general, and the franchise was newer.

What are you thinking of the series?

This has to be the best one since it moved over to C5 in my view.

The overnights in general are around 200k up on CBB11 (which was the highest rated Ch5 series). The officials so far is 2.94m for CBB13 for the first 10 days, CBB11 official average was 2.81m, so its looking like CBB13 will be the highest if it keeps its ratings up.

There's a ratings thread on the forum, give it a read, everything will be on there every day on what ratings it gets.
