It's being suggested elsewhere that 1984 was the last time ITV did anything special on D Day.
ITV had extensive coverage in 2004

BBC1 kicked off at 09.00 with D-Day 60 gaining a respectable 36% audience share with 2.2 million viewers. In comparison ITV's D-Day+60 at 09.55 could only entice 400,000 (6.2%).

The story remained the same throughout the day with BBC1's D-Day 60 bordering the 3 million mark and garnering a 30% share from 13.50 to 18.10. ITV1's three installments could only manage between 700,000 and 900,000 with a maximum 11.7% share.

Coronation Street during BGT week (inc +1):

2010 - week pulled after two 21:00 episodes
2011 - 11.03m (39.9%) - May 30th to June 3rd - 5 episodes
2012 - 9.47m (32.8%) - May 7th to 10th - 4 episodes
2013 - 10.55m (37.0%) - May 27th to 31st - 5 episodes
2014 - 10.15m (35.9%) - May 26th to 29th - 4 episodes

Considering Coronation Street hasn't been strong since February/March time, they'll definitely be happy with that.

Those are actually really good numbers all things considered after how its performed so far this year. I think it's fair to say, probably better than most people were expecting.

What the point? Doing the same coverage other than news would be foolish, everyone turns over to BBC1. The BBC are a publicly funded broadcaster and so should be doing tis type of coverage, commercial channels are different and so shouldn't be put into the same boat just to have a bash. They featured it on GMB, This Morning, News etc.

What did Ch4 do? What did Ch5 do?


The doc on last night should have been on tonight instead of after the news, although I imagine most will have has their fill on BBC1.

This is what the BBC is for
I dont agree with that. This was the 70th anniversary and should have been covered by ITV as they have some PSB responsibilities. As for the argument that if the BBC are covering it they dont need to ITV dont take that attitude to Royal weddings/births/deaths etc or many other ocassions where they will quite happily duplicate the coverage.

Anyone who watched Big Brother tonight would have witnessed the beginning of the end for the show. I hope it turns out to be lowest rated series ever.

Bang on what I predicted for the BB Part 1 launch. Not much room for it to fall, but the show only attracts the fans these days rather than casual viewers so the drop off won't be anything too major. Plus the show can grow by a couple of 100,000 for some episodes these days if there's a big talking point. I thought tonight's launch show was better than last night's.

Giving someone a free pass to the final and having someone chosen on Sunday to face eviction every week. The show is meant to be about the public's choice.

Doesn't help that the housemate given the free pass probably would have only lasted a few weeks otherwise. Now the viewers are stuck with her.

Other than the silly twists it was a better launch night overall. More normal housemates to balance it out a little.

Dire rating for the well trailed Ryan Giggs documentary yesterday. Especially as it had the Coro oap-boosting lead-in. On a regular Thursday night with a sub-3m inheritence, it probably would've rated around 1.3million. I expect tonight's much hyped Soccer Aid prequel show will be low rating too, possibly 4th in its slot. With the Itv weekly reach crisis, I predict this Sunday's Soccer Aid final will be its lowest rated ever.

Couldn't disagree more.

I felt indifferent about it yesterday (notice no posts from me last night gushing about how great it was- it wasn't).

Thought tonight was much better. The new arrivals were strong and Power Trip is proving an interesting theme.

That said, I'm expecting a 600,000 drop overnight purely because the opening episode wasn't as strong as it could have been. I hope I'm wrong.

I don't get why the thing needs an hour long preview show. Tedious telly if you ask me.

itv did less buildup for the Champions League final.

BB is up from last year and the ratings are fine.
BB14 - Live Launch #1 - Thu 13/06/13 - 1.99m (9.3%) / 2.14m (10.0%)
BB15 - Live Launch #1 - Thu 05/06/14 - 2.03m (10.2%) / 2.14m (10.8%)

Identical rating including +1. As that is what Channel 5 will look at, we should call that level with last year. But as noted, a higher share, indicating the total TV audience was -1.6m lower than last year.

Thanks to ronant for the figure to 2 decimal places in bold there.

From what I gather reading on here over the months, you are a Channel 5 mouth piece so you're never going to totally bash it.

The y-o-y comparison won't be as favourable tomorrow. But I'm not sure it matters, the viewers lost were never going to stick around anyway. Still every chance of beating BB14 if the cast delivers.

I dont agree with that. This was the 70th anniversary and should have been covered by ITV as they have some PSB responsibilities. As for the argument that if the BBC are covering it they dont need to ITV dont take that attitude to Royal weddings/births/deaths etc or many other ocassions where they will quite happily duplicate the coverage.

The royal wedding, birth and death are entirely different things. As much as the soldiers of D-Day should be respected for what they did, the Royal landmark events are happening now. Anyhow viewers would soon complain ITV coverage was poor with adverts in between them.

In these kind of events ITV don't get a look in, despite the quality of coverage - as we saw with the Royal Wedding with ITV's much better than the BBC's, but a fraction of the ratings. Adverts turn viewers away.

We have a winner ! Except the many times when I do. But nobody notices those.

Anyway, those were my honest views. I feel the split launch has backfired this time and the show would have stood more chance of stronger retention if they'd done a two hour launch yesterday and crammed it all into the one night.

It doesn't matter. They still should have covered it as the second biggest PSB and I'm shocked that they didn't.

And frankly, would a 7% share have been that bad? Some of their dismal daytime offerings of late have been doing worse than that anyway. Nobody is going to miss Supernanny's new show, it's not 2004.

It was covered - on the news.

Just because BBC1 decide to run full coverage doesn't mean ITV have to do as well. The days of the 2 main channels offering identical coverage of every news event are long gone, particularly as we now have news channels as well which also offered full coverage which we didn't have in the eras people are harking back to.

ITV will pick and choose just the most major events to cover these days. Without being disrespectful, today's event wasn't one of those major events, these would be limited to a royal event, election or major breaking news story.

Of course the real reason people are bemoaning the lack of ITV coverage is because they are missing out on the predictable circus of posts. People here tune in for 2 seconds and then immediately brand the entire broadcast as poor quality, then people proudly saying that they are 'sticking with the BBC', and then when the rating comes out, gloating that BBC1 beat ITV many times to 1.

The Crimson Field hasn't been recommissioned according to the writer on twitter. A shame as there was a lot more story to tell.

@PhelpsieSarah
'Found out today that #TheCrimsonField won't be recommissioned by @BBCOne Gutted doesn't even touch the sides of how I feel.'

For me they should have taken the ratings hit and provided something of genuine PSB value for once. It's one day out of 365. Who cares if a few fools on here rip them apart for not being able to compete with the BBC's coverage, it's not about that.

We have the World Cup Final to look forward to for that
