Confirmed by the BBC. ITV have thrown big money at it.

Ronseal, exactly as the thread title says. Ratings have been poor for XF for a while now, had its day?

I just don't know why they'd think The Voice would do any better. If they put it in Autumn it would get smashed by Strictly, but leave it in Q1 then they'll have a packed first half of the year but only IAC in the second.

It has just been announced on bbc 5 live news that The Voice format has been poached by another channel, but they did'nt say who.

I expect they'll use it to boost Q1, especially with Dancing On Ice now gone and its replacements doing awfully.

Hopefully they will scrap XF and SC , and concentrate on The Voice which is a much better show.

The Voice is a far better show which is obviously why they have got the rights as they realise it themselves. Fix factor has had its day.

the voice format is awful... one team could have best singers and only one singer to the final.

It's exactly the same as the x factor except the judges reject people by keeping their backs turned

The Voice is better because they don't treat the audience as if they're stupid and they have a band. The little things. Plus I'll never forget that epic battle between Christina and Nathan with the Power of Love.

The voice is better but it still produces abysmal winners

Indeed and as the OP has put they've "thrown money at it".

It's like one of those adverts on TV for Oxfam, or NSPCC. Only in this case it's ITV.

Want to know where all your money goes when you vote on shows like X Factor and Britain's Got Talent? Or when you vote to win prizes shown on Good Morning Britain?

Well, take a look at this.

**30 second teaser for The Voice 2016 that cost £1 million to produce**

Because at ITV, we care. Thank you for your continued support.

The main problem that both The Voice and XF have is that a majority of the voters vote for the people that they like rather than for the best singer, hence the string of mediocre winners on both shows.

It's more suited to ITV, it never really worked on the BBC

In saying that XFactor has had its day and it would be nice to have a change

I am intrigued as to how ITV will approach The Voice, and whether they can actually make it as successful as its been in other countries.

I personally can't see how it's going to differ from X Factor once you get down to the live shows.

Is the 2016 series still going to be broadcast on BBC?

The Voice has always felt like it was on the wrong channel to me. It will be better on ITV I'm sure, they will throw big money at it and get big name judges. As long as they don't drop Emma Willis and replace her with one of their "faces" like Philip Schofield it will be fine.

It changed actually. Ricky Wilson had 2 singers in the final this year.

Don't quite know about changing the judging lineup. Will.I.Am is the big name ITV will want, and Ricky Wilson is the draw that keeps people watching, he's been the most popular coach the last 2 series.

Of course, a lot will depend on how Paloma Faith and Boy George do on their debut series, but if it goes well for the pair of them, I see no reason to change the lineup just for the sake of it.

The Voice is terrible for a number of reasons. The main reason I can't stand it is cos will.i.am does my tits in. The other reason it's a joke of a tv show is that it has produced ZERO stars. Not a single one - aside from Becky Hill who had a number 1 in 2014 and is "critically acclaimed". Her track Losing is brilliant.

Oliver Heldens had a number 1, not Becky Hill.
I doubt many who bought that even knew she was on the Voice.

The Guardian is saying that The X Factor might end up on Sky if ITV axes it:

http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-ra...voice-from-bbc

There are suggestions that Sky could acquire The X Factor if ITV decided to axe the show.
Sky1 maybe?

I assume this is kind of a non-factor to ITV though. Surely they care more about the show itself while it airs on their channel then about what Syco does with the winners afterwards.
