It was bang in the middle of Summer last year, this year its in the relative safe slot and month of the year. It also despite facing SNT had 1 hr opposite The Cube to grow its audience. In that respect being 0.1m up in not good enough. But still higher than any other BBC LE format which they are incapable of fining a successful one.

The real issue for The Voice is that for the third year in a row it's ending on a complete whimper. Where have the 3 million viewers who tuned in for the auditions gone?
The chart success of the acts this year has also be woeful and once again it's the acts who have been voted out that are doing well. I think a very apt comment from Danny O'Donoghue in The Sun today about why The Voice has struggled against The X Factor: “That’s the difference between a television company running a music show and a record company running a television show." |

Looks Ant and Dec Saturday night takeaway style doesn't it. Old fashioned in style.
But remember their is a rule at the BBC that says " New LE shows must get peoples hopes up, only to make them violently angry when they tune in". ![]() Quote:
I never used to be one of those people who moaned about the soaps being on too much but now I think they are. It's just too much effort to keep up with them all when there are other things I want to do of an evening as well - especially now none of them are sparking any of my interest.
And yet, of course, with all this cramming in, on other nights there's nothing at all. And to my mind, the way to solve at least some of the problem is simple - put Emmerdale and Corrie back on Sunday. In other news, though I said here the Law and Order repeat was outrageous scheduling, my mum missed the end of it on Wednesday because her recording messed up, so I'm not thinking this was inspired scheduling. For this week. |

Have had very limited access to the internet this week but here's my take on the soap ratings:
The Corrie ratings are very poor indeed. No doubt about that at all. The Friday numbers are truly awful. 2013 both Corrie and Emmerdale posted y-o-y increases for the yearly average - but this year has seem all the soaps slump quite badly for what are supposed to be well rated months. The y-o-y comparisons for Corrie are really bad although last year a lot of good stuff was happening around this time compared to this year. Looking back at Friday's 20.30 Corrie rating from 14th March. The overnight rating was 6.8m. That was a full-slot rating (no tape-checking adjustment was required). The official rating was 8.13m. So a nice jump in the final numbers of around 1.3m which makes for better reading. The equivalent episode in 2013 also scored 8.13m in the officials. Very strange both episodes scored an exact identical rating. IMO all the soaps are pretty bad at the moment with the exception of Hollyoaks which seems to be posting some very good ratings with a strong 1m+ on the C4 and some very good first look ratings over on E4. Not sure what the quality is like as I don't watch it but it seems to be doing very well at the moment. Also no idea how it compares to last year as I don't track HO ratings. Moving back to Corrie. Something has to be done. I don't buy that if it jumps back to 8m on Monday then everything is OK. That makes no sense whatsoever. Corrie is always higher on a Monday and trails off towards the end of the week - but it shouldn't be going that low. I do think creatively speaking the show is abit of a mess at the moment and as some others have said, I do think Stuart Blackburn has a lot to answer for with regards to the shows current form. When he was in charge of Emmerdale is became just like Corrie is now. They need to get rid of him and put someone in charge that understands the show and the characters because watching it at the moment its like no one understands any of this and thus causing some pretty bad damage to the shows ratings. Surely ITV cannot be happy about this. |

Each episode irritates me, in terms of poor storylines, poor writing and poor characterization. ITV need to act soon or Stuart Blackburn will permanently damage Corrie for the foreseeable. |

Brilliant to see The Voice winning the Saturday night battle again. Its should be told to stop using +1 as well! It's cheating!

Trying to put a bit of perspective on that TVUK is also higher than all ITV LE other than the big 3. Sounds pretty successful to me.

To me it's only the Tina storyline, and the current way it keeps playing out identically every episode (umpteen secret liaisons in the ginnel) that is annoying me. |

The answer is simple, it's on too much and standards are dropping. Also demographically, both Coronation St and Emmerdale fare badly among the vital ABC1 and male viewers. However, I have seen a sea change in the last few years where entertainment shows now outrate soaps, so I wonder if the soaps are in some slow, terminal decline now. I wouldn't be surprised in the next decade, as happened in America, they're shunted into daytime.

The answer isn't 'its on too much', (although that is a minor factor), the producer at the moment hasn't got a clue and seems to think c**p storylines are the way forward. Last year it was doing perfectly well with Phil Collinson in charge. Emmerdale is suffering from viewers deserting Corrie and slow storylines. EastEnders is just trying to recover from its slump, but struggling in the process to bring back old viewers. All the soaps will have some diabolical figures this Summer being that they are all performing poorly now. I wouldn't be surprised to see Emmerdale below 5million, EastEnders below 6million and Corrie below 7million for mid Summer.

It might sound like the unthinkable, but have these shows had their day now? I notice none of these shows are talked about as much as they used to be and had they been as rating as low as this in the eighties, then it would be curtains.
The situation pre-watershed is no better. So until there's any sign of something that might come close to the soaps ratings and cover 350 hours a year, then they've certainly not had their day. And I say that as someone who never watches and wishes they'd all go away. |

I've not been so eager for a show to do as well as The Guess List since Ten O'Clock Live although obviously that turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. But Rob is such a great choice of host and I'm really hopeful for this, it seems to me exactly what we should be having on a Saturday night.

There is a viewer-ship that won't sit and watch any old rubbish now, It something doesn't entertain them, They switch off.
Also I think the British Touring Cars Championships need more promotion, Its one of the best things I seen on the ITV channels in a while. |
