Do you think ITV would want to keep X Factor after 2016?

I mean the ratings are dwindling every year, XF is constantly losing out to Strictly, they have even been beaten by Downton Abbey. Everyone knows it's a fix/scripted. How long do you think ITV will want to keep XF at their prime spot on a saturday night? They are already looking to move it to accommodate the Rugby World Cup next year.

Unless XF thinks of something pronto to increase the ratings I think after their contract expires in 2016, ITV will axe it or change the days/times.

Unless ratings fall below 5 million for every episode, then ITV will probably keep it.

The show is like the British TV version of the Superbowl with advertisement shots going for £250,000 plus on the final. I doubt ITV will cut that enormous revenue anytime soon. They'll no doubt milk the whole thing for all it's worth.
