There was still no need for it, if that was the case.

"Every week"? "Always"? Saturday Night Takeaway has only been on the same night as The Voice UK twice!!
![]() As has been said, last year was the first series of SNT in four years and (as was commonly acknowledged at the time) that boosted it. It also aired most of its series before Series 2 of TVUK began, allowing it to gain a foothold from people getting into the habit of watching it, and the second episode of SNT which was scheduled against TVUK was also boosted by a major publicity stunt by Ant and Dec. Whether it maintains the surge in popularity that all those factors came together to provide it with last year, particularly when the 'one show already being mid-series before the other comes along' situation is this time reversed into TVUK's favour, remains to be seen. |

I'd be pretty bored if they kept covering the floods for hours on end, to be quite frank.

It's the news though I don't really want them talking to Katie Price there's chat shows for that stuff.
You can say what you like about GMTV but at least it was a very clear and distinctive alternative to the BBC's offering. |

I think anyone familiar with GMTV would not refer to it simply as "the news". News was a part of what they did but so were showbiz interviews with the likes of Katie Price among other features.

It's clearly not working though if your going to be a news program then you should focus on the news.

So what is BBC Breakfast between 08:30 and 09:15 each day then? Not a news programme?

Tonight's Itv News at 10 oclock will rate particularly well compared to usual due to no opposing BBC News at the same time. So please dont be surprised when it gets 4m+ in tomorrow's overnights.

For Susanna Reid it makes sense. Presenters (particularly female presenters) are often "hot" enough to spark a bidding war only once in their careers. She's going to get paid a lot more money, avoid a lengthy travel to Salford and she'll be the Queen Bee, with ITV building a whole show around her. No doubt ITV have included a clause that involves them finding her primetime work as well.
It's a lot of money for a breakfast presenter but at this point ITV's need is greater than the BBC's so they'll pay up as required. I struggle to see this working out particularly well, Breakfast has a massive lead, but I don't watch breakfast TV and never have so I'm not exactly an expert in the area! From the ratings it just seems that every revamp costs them more viewers. Perhaps they're betting on a new brand generating some interest but wasn't that the original pitch for Daybreak? And yet looking at the recent Daybreak ratings, they kind of have to take a swing at a re-brand, even if the odds are that it won't work. Because the status quo isn't working either. And I think there could be a lot more than Helen Warner's job riding on this! I wonder if this is the last swing at breakfast for ITV? If this doesn't work out then what next? How many brands, producers, commissioners, presenters... will they try before they think it's a lost cause and give up? |

Channel 4 are showing the premier of Bridesmaids next Sunday. Hugely popular film- could see a figure of over 2.5 million for this, although possibly dented by the female skewing Selfridge?
Benefits Street debate airs tomorrow aswell, while I still feel this will pull in a good number ( easly clearing 2 million hopefully ) 4 were fools to throw it around the scheudle in this manner. Isn't it going against 5's Immigration Debate aswell? |

It should definitely be up week on week considering a 4m+ lead in and no news opposition.

I, for one, think that Susannah is right to take this opportunity. Who wouldn't take this opportunity if it was presented to us. The money will secure her family's future and she will become the main anchor person on a new morning show. Sure, it may not work but she will be one of the most talked about presenters in the country and this will ensure other work as well.

Sam Hodges @Sam_Hodges 3m
#CalltheMidwife (8.4m) and #Countryfile (6.2m) were Sunday's highest rating programmes. #BBC1 |

Doesn't sound like The BAFTAs or Blandings did particularly well.
And I was right. "@Jake_Kanter: The Bafta Film Awards drew 4.6m (22.1%) viewers, its lowest audience since 2010. #tellyratings" |

Whats happened to Call the Midwife the last few episodes? Last weeks episode was its lowest overnight rating since series 1. Yesterdays episode was its worst overnight rating since its first ever episode.

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:44.




The BBC certainly give her plenty of work.
