Can Hollyoaks continue with 500k viewers?
Surely this is seriously nearing axeing territory? I remember a year ago it would get around 1m, so who knows how much further it is going to fall. Maybe sub 300k?

Millions who are not monitored probably also watch it. In other words, they'll take no notice of 'official figures' and carry on. |

Ratings are a funny thing. In HO's case it just means a very very small member of the 1100 or so people - out of the entire country - whose viewing habits are monitored - watch HO.

Evidence? Anything at all to back that up? It may just be the opposite, in that a larger than average portion of that 1100 people watch Hollyoaks.

The ratings have dropped significantly but C4 and Lime wait until they have the official, consolidated figures and add the C4 showing figures with the E4 figure to get an overall rating for an episode so, at the moment they are probably viewed by an average of 1.2-1.5 million. According to an article I was reading recently, last year they averaged 2.3 million so the ratings have dropped marginally y-o-y.

I know ratings are not everything, but I assumed Hollyoaks got at least a million . 500k?
That isn't very good. Hollyoaks should scrap the first look episode.

Hollyoaks was pulling in good ratings during 2013/14 despite most of that era being hated here on DS, but average viewers seem to be getting bored and turning off now. |

The sample size is just that. You have no idea if that extrapolates in its favour or not. You're just assuming more people watch Hollyoaks than the barb average, rather than less.
but twitter, snapchat, facebook and social media in general will tell you that hollyoaks is very very popular |

I see you've made quite a few of these threads regarding Oaks...

It's a youth soap- it doesn't have to do as well as the bigger soaps.

Threads about Hollyoaks and its ratings have been around since 2005. It revamped in 2006 with the Dog Fire, it revamped in 2010 with the death of Steph and co no doubt it would get another revamp before its axed. Its more likely just to remain on E4 if anything it brings a steady 400-600k per day to the channel which without Big Bang Theory struggles. Even E4's primetime programing such as Revenge, Empire, 2 Broke Girls etc gets less then Oaks atm.

In the past it would have been in trouble, sure, but it's really just an advert for shifting pizza and hair product to tweens now. I guess as long as the sponsors are happy with a few hundred thousand, on it goes.

Not forgetting Hollyoaks is on E4 and E4+1 and on Channel4 and Channel 4+1 and online on 4od, So i doubt they will base it on one channel as people could be watching it at anytime. .

I had no idea the ratings were this shocking but the show is a shambles these days so I don't know why I should be shocked.

Considering Hollyoaks gets a lot of publicity and won the 'best soap' award last year, there really is no excuse for ratings as low as 500k. Hollyoaks is a british soap and gets a lot of media coverage. Yes, Hollyoaks have on demand and channel 4 plus one, but so do Eastenders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
I understand Neighbours and Home And Away getting these kind of ratings, like 500k, because they don't get as much media coverage as Hollyoaks and aren't put forward for so many categories in the British soap awards, or baftas. Hollyoaks is also shown on This Morning too, unlike the aussie soaps. Not good ratings for Holllyoaks and there is no excuse. Brookside got axed, yet Hollyoaks can get away with bad ratings. |
