Can't remember who replied but he/she was right, it just clutters up a forum. Considering I only use my phone, the last think I need is more scrolling space.

I think the BBC need to scrap their music awards show. Nobody cares and nobody is interested.

I was joking, mate.
International auditions would be different but really, it'd be expensive and if they would still have to come here for the other rounds so it is ultimately changes little. Daft idea.

But what if users go wild embedding YouTube videos ? That's going to clutter things up more than a basic signature or allowing avatars, to be fair.

We should be okay in here though.

Ouch.

Can only echo what others have said: time to accept defeat and give up on these.

I like that the BBC is trying to do something with pop music. The BBC knows it skews worryingly old and needs to try to change that.

The problem is that a one-off show isn't going to achieve much and chart music doesn't rate that well anymore, ask TVUK, XF or Radio 1. They clearly want this to be the equivalent to SPoTY but it's not being launch in the 60s and there's already the Brits.

The BBC Music Awards need to go. For all the criticism X Factor gets, it does a good job of reaching the audience the BBC Music Awards tries to do. Young people and decent numbers. The Brits does this too. When winners don't want to go to your awards it's time to stop.

I actually quite enjoyed the bbc music awards last night the first 2 years weren't very good but this years just felt better.

I thought that then they said Adele and Coldplay were on tour in the Usa and Australia so would of been pretty impossible. Adele could of recorded a message though ?

Says something when University Challenge and Only Connect on BBC2 beats it.

The average age of a BBC1 and BBC2 viewer is over 60. You can see why they're doing this and it probably offered some of their youngest reach in ages. The BBC could just stick on another OAP appealing programme and get double the rating but it is supposed to be trying to widen its reach.

I know 16-34 audience doesn't ma££er to the BBC but it still does matter. What they're trying to do is right, I would rather they launched an actual series that had bands on. A variation of Jools Holland's show?

People aged 50-64 watch twice as much tv as 18-34s. People over 65 watch 2.5x more than 18-34s.
An advertiser might consider an 18-34 year old to be worth 2x what someone over 50 is worth. Considering that they spend more too, 1m 18-34 year olds might be worth over 3m older viewers. Of course this is for ITV, C4 and C5 rather than the BBC or sky.

Its seeing no boost for Christmas is it?

I guess its whether or not they see it as PSB broadcasting or not, they got a decent enough line up of acts but most people don't care. I'd be interested to see the demos though as I imagine they're pretty good.

I disagree. I'm entitled to, right ?

They tried and failed. Time to move on.

You ain't seen nothing yet, when Oliver Kent gets oversight watch the ratings fall even further as he will interfere with the show and I can see SOC walking when the inevitable happens.

EE is now firmly in 3rd place. Not only has it dropped below Corrie, but is now below Emmerdale by nearly 600k, and 7 share points away.

But as low as it gets now, on NYD it will get a basic default viewership. Not because its must see, but because it used to be must-see and the audience are still tuning in expecting big episodes.

BBC Music Awards piss poor rating. I watched the whole thing. Trying to create atmosphere by keep saying, 'the atmosphere here is electric isn't it' with every artist they come across. I irony is, I bet the BBC had a younger audience watching BBCMA than much of their usual schedule anyway (bar EE)

The royal doc on ITV was pretty poor as well. It felt like a bit of nothingness. I prefered the Ant & Dec one earlier this year.

I think the past few Christmas ratings have disproved that theory, no?

Perhaps, but all of Xmas Day ratings have dropped. On NYD EE still gets 7m+ in a strong schedule of often 7m+ ratings.

But I think each year the show weakens, it looses its pull to the casual audience.

Abysmal overall figure for the Music Awards. They would really have been better off making it part of the 'winner's weekend' thing, possibly squeezed inbetween the two parts of the Strictly final even.
What an appalling thing to say
