A solid enough rating for the last ever Dancing on Ice. 6.2m isn't a bad result considering how the final series has gone. The whole series averaged 5.1m (inc +1: 5.4m) - which is down 1.1m y-o-y (exc/inc +1). This probably justifies ITV's reason to axe it - but if Rising Star is a flop, it maybe difficult to find 20-hours worth of programming to fill the slot that was averaging those kind of numbers week in, week out. Yes, I know the numbers weren't great, but there's shows rating much worse than DoI and these shows are still around. Q1 next year is a big, big test for ITV.

As usual I think too much being made of lead ins. When Musketeers was unkown the CTM lead in would be a boost but now I cant see why it would. The 4m+ who have watched the last 2 weeks are not going to be put off because CTM is not on. The opposition is the same so I cant see too much changing really. As you say though interesting for both shows this weekend.
But then you could say those 4m who watch Musketeers, may watch CTM, and with TVUK on before it, some who don't watch that but do watch TM might choose to record it instead, since they don't watch the programme on before. Do you see what I mean?

If I watch three programmes or even two that sit together I am less likely to record and watch live. If a programme is on before that I don't watch but I do the one following, i will record it instead and watch later.

What did Ice get without ITV+1? Apologies if I've missed the rating somehow.
I always watch Takeaway on Sunday as a recording, because of the adverts which I find irritating in a way I don't with other shows on commercial TV, and also in case one of them dies during Ant vs Dec.
Heh. I used to record something for similar reasons when I was young. I can't remember what it was, now.

Attentional's Screenwatch blog has this take on Call the Midwife 's performance:

The Third season of Call the Midwife came to an end last night, Sunday 9th March. The Neal Street Productions drama, based on the life story of a midwife who worked in London’s East End in the 1950s, has been a huge ratings hit. Episodes of the series have scored audiences for BBC1 that make it one of the channels top performers, beaten only by some episodes of Doctor Who and Sherlock.

The first season of the show, in January 2012, firmly established the series, with average audiences of 8.7m (29.4%). The final consolidated figures delivered almost 2m more viewers for each episode on average. Season 2 averaged a slightly higher 8.9m viewers (30.6%), but the Share grew (while maintaining the same audience figure) for Season 3, up to 32.4% on average.

While a fourth season is said to be in the offing, it will be without its original star, Jessica Raine, who is rumoured to be heading for Hollywood. Her character, Jenny lee, left to start a new career at the end of last night’s season finale. While there is a strong ensemble cast, will any future seasons survive the loss of this major character?
So in overnights, that's:

Series 1: 8.7m (29.4%)
Series 2: 8.9m (30.6%)
Series 3: 8.9m (32.4%)

So the total TV audience during Midwife 's slot (including same-day timeshift of that period) fell about -1.6m between Series 2 and 3 (to 27.5m), after falling roughly -0.5m between Series 1 and 2 (from 29.6m to 29.1m).

Much needed good news for ABC last night, with new series Ressurection premiering to a pretty amazing 3.6 demo rating, it also boosted the rest of the night with OUAT returning up with a 2.3 and Revenge getting a 1.9 in the new 10pm timeslot both well up on their last eps.

On the downside The Good Wife sunk to a 1.3 opposite tough competition, which will only get worse when NBC airs their new shows, I was hoping for a final season from TGW but those ratings are terrible.
Well Paul Lee won't be going anywhere just yet! The fact that it dragged up two other series ordered on his watch is very helpful too. But of course, ABC also had a massive drama launch in September with Agents of Shield and we all know how that has played out. For one night at least, that's a pretty solid Sunday.

Finally something on the Paralympics opening:

Earlier, Channel 4's coverage of the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Winter Games picked up 500,000 viewers, a 4% share, between 3.30pm and 6.30pm.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...ngs-television
That seems really poor given the timeslot, possibly it had a decent sized peak during the usual Simpsons slot but doesn't look too promising.

Channel 4 Sales have finally revamped their Overnights page, so we now have:

....All-day shares to two decimal places!
....ITV main-channel share for the first time in over a year! (15.19% inc +1 yesterday)
....Sky 1 share for the first time in years! (0.95% inc +1 yesterday)
....all the above going back two weeks!

I rarely say it but well done Channel 4!

Finally something on the Paralympics opening:

That seems really poor given the timeslot, possibly it had a decent sized peak during the usual Simpsons slot but doesn't look too promising.
MediaGuardian also gives the figure for last night's highlights from 18:30 to 19:00: 645k (3.2%) including +1, which also seems a bit underwhelming. Presumably the British gold today will boost tonight's numbers.

Still fine for a drama, but a bit low for a drama of Musketeers stature.
What stature? Musketeers is just a daft adventure series, like Adrian Hodges previous creations Primeval and Survivors. (An actually Survivors and Musketeers aren't his creatures. He just rebooted somebody else's.) The Musketeers was overhyped by the BBC as something it wasn't. But, fair play to them, they got one 9m+ audience out of it. But it's now settled down to the level it deserves. In fact, some people may argue it's doing better than it deserves.

Bizarrely, I regard the overnights as poor but the consolidated figure as respectable (but that's my problem. Not sure whether the BBC would have been willing to give the programme a second series if they were making the decision now, rather than immediately after the first week's figures came in. Probably yes, I suppose.

For an accessible, fun 9pm drama on a Sunday night a programme should be closer to 6m I think. The Musketeers is also losing viewers each week which isn't a good sign.

Not sure what they should do with series 2 or where to schedule it to boost its ratings. Revamp it as an early evening weekend drama? A different night at 9pm? Having said that Sunday is the most watched night of the week and I can't see it getting 6m on any other night at 9pm.

500,000 / 4%

That seems really poor given the timeslot, possibly it had a decent sized peak during the usual Simpsons slot but doesn't look too promising.
That is a bit poor though it's worth remembering it's the first time ever the Winter Paralympics have been shown live, and the promo campaign hasn't been anywhere near as high profile as for the Summer games.

Also Jon Snow didn't help at all - they could have just had Liza Tarbuck at Crufts and prioritised where they used Clare Balding for the ceremonies. Jon Snow makes it look like a C4 News special rather than anything else.

They now have twp expensive dramas that have not lived up to the hype, and recommissioned them before they see the whole series and how its rates. Both could potentially fall further next year

Slight bit of gloss knocked off CTM with 8.2 million but cant argue with its performance overall(and hopefully it will squeeze enough timeshift for 10 million). Having ruled the roost for three years in this slot, no sign of any loss of power yet. I think ITV will be reasonably pleased with the DOI finale -decent enough but not too high to start any serious campaigns for its return which I would imagine ITV don't want if they have their eyes on the future.

I suspect what they might do is see how it does following on from TVUK, then perhaps schedule it accordingly next year perhaps on Saturday?

It was until last night when it actually rose a little

Even despite that figure dropping against DOI, its still a massive drama - showing no signs of decline. However Downton Abbey is still the No 1 drama on TV, and looks to be for as long as it it still with us.

Do you mean Atlantis as well as The Musketeers?

BBC1 know how to hype dramas and they get a great opening rating, but then the drama doesn't hold the interest of viewers and it loses a large chunk of the audience.

Interestingly apart from Call The Midwife, which was promoted a lot and delivered, it has been the less hyped dramas on BBC1 that have taken off.

For example, Sherlock had no Radio Times cover or screenings and went out in the Summer, Death In Paradise got little promotion when it debuted in 2011. And in Olympic year when they hyped Hunted, The Paradise and Good Cop on their Olympic programming it was Last Tanto In Halifax that took off and became a BAFTA winner.
