It may be that I don't understand "reach" properly, but if there was a reach of 1.2m viewers on TV and >500k streams online, surely the "reach (all platforms)" would be greater than 1.2m+500k? Or is the online stream counting individuals rather than an average viewership - so is more of a "hits" counter?

Pity, In the Club is miles better than The Syndicate.
I thought it was perfectly fine typical Kay Mellor drama and deserved more but people dont seem to be interested in tv at the moment. Will be interesting to see what Bake Off gets tonight.
In future maybe BBC1/ITV should just shutdown completely in the summer.

Yeah it's a hit counter, they've just added TV reach and website streams. To be taken with a pinch of salt, especially as there were problems with the website so many people may have tried multiple times to get the stream going. (Conversely, many people may have given up without being counted.)

With TV, reach is defined as counting all people who watched a certain minimum number of consecutive minutes, often 3 but - for PR purposes and possibly in this case - sometimes just one minute.

That's what BBC1 and ITV used to do and had September as a big launch. I think ITV will be launching several things in September when audiences are larger.

The Bake Off rating tonight will be interesting. It's launching 2 weeks earlier than last yearbut is on BBC1 this time.

Gotham is an interesting buy for 5, it's look procedural enough that it is compatible with its other shows but also has the added advantage of having the Batman connection which is easily marketable.

It'll be interesting if 5 buys any other shows, NCIS New Orleans and CSI Cyber are the obvious ones but I think something like How to Get Away with Murder or even Agent Carter would be good.

That was fast, I think Gotham probably will air October to minimise the number of breaks.
It would be cool if it could air on Sundays with lead in from superhero movies but I think Tuesdays are more likely.

I think Bake OFf could be surprisingly low too.
Noone is watching TV.
Big enough shows like the ITV lost Family thing is getting lower over nights.
they probably would be better off, holding things back until September.
For what it's worth, as a huge GBBO fan, I think it is on far too early.
It is a show you associate with dark evenings etc not the middle of Summer.
So many people on holidays in August too, September might have been a better time to launch all these shows.

Was Celebrity Big Brother on at this time last year? I think a lot of people will want to see that Gotham preview let alone CBB.

Any word on when Wentworth will be back?

As for Bake Off tonight I was thinking 6m + for the launch, surely that is possible with the 5.6m launch on BBC2 last year? Really looking forward to it tonight.

Is it? I don't remember the 20th August last year being a particularly dark evening, or any of the previous start dates. It's only two weeks earlier than it launched last year, and only one week earlier than the two series before that.

I remember being a little worried it's launch figure would be disappointing last year and it wasn't (it was up over 2m on the previous year's launch,) and there definitely seems to be more buzz about it this year so I think GBBO has nothing to worry about.

Sundays at 9PM could be an option. Do they have the rights to many superhero movies though? If they have The Amazing Spider-Man premiere that would be a good lead-in for the pilot.

Yeah. Not sure about a Monday night launch - up against New Tricks, Long Lost Family and Royal Marines Commando School - yikes ! That is a very busy night of telly for a lot of viewers.

Not yet mate. Suspects premieres on Wednesday 20th August at 10PM with a two parter that concludes the following night. Wentworth will probably take one of those slots the following week.

Great to see the Ch5 schedule with CBB. I think in general people want to see the back of this years BB and are more excited about CBB.

In the first few days there is 1 hour Live Feed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and 40 mins on the Friday. That's already more than the live feed amount this year for BB! At least it gives us an extra hour of things to talk about.

And yet last year it started just 2 weeks later on 20th August, the evenings were still light (sunset is still around 8:20 for 20th August), only 30 mins earlier than tonight in my region). And is August really the middle of summer? I would say it's the back end of summer.

So many people on holidays in August too, September might have been a better time to launch all these shows.
So it would be back to the old days when there was nothing on during August apart from dull repeats and lacklustre fillers.

OK I will put my reputation (exactly what reputation ) on the line and predict 5m max for BO.

I think they own the rights to the original Superman movies, X-Men 2 plus the original Spider-Man trilogy. It's a shame The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises aren't suitable before 9pm as that would be a terrific lead in but TASM would work. The only recent DC film that would be available is Green Lantern but it's terrible.

How many episodes of Suspects do they have left, I'm sure they ordered 10 episodes but I imagine they could air them as Series 2? I wonder if we'll have more news of original drama at the Guardian Edinburgh Festival?

Great British Bake Off was event TV last year, It even got people who didn't usually watch TV at that time. It should happen again this year too but I wait until morning to see.

A Marvel character used to introduce a DC character! That is The Bloods v The Crips of geekdom!

Would make sense though. Gotham needs a good lead-in.

That's a very busy night of TV to launch and opposite some popular programming

I think Wentworth will start once the repeats of series 1 finish, likewise with Under The Dome. And you know how much I enjoy Under The Dome!

This run is only 4 episodes. They aired 5 episodes in February/March so one episode has gone missing !

Good spot. Probably the week after then. Maybe the other two episodes of Suspects are also linked and will again air Wed/Thu.

Under the Dome looks set to return on Monday 25th August at 10PM. Fits in nicely with everything.

I imagine they'll probably add into the next series. It's not unusual for unaired episodes to air as part of the next series.
