Thanks cylon. Anyone else surprised the peak share was as low as that?

Strange.

I could have told them that.

Quote:
“Commercial TV viewing increases as BBC declines
http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/articl...eKdlQpsf4ip.99

Commercial TV viewing in the UK increased by one minute per day year on year over the first half of 2016 boosted by BBC Three moving to online only.

It is also an increase of seven minutes per day compared with ten years ago, according to Thinkbox, which has used data from Barb.

Although when including BBC channels it is not the same positive picture. Total TV viewing between January and June fell by two minutes to three hours and 34 minutes a day.

The weekly reach for TV was stable at 93.8% of the UK and on average 86% of TV viewing was live.

Additional TV viewing, which includes people watching TV on other devices such as a mobile device at any time and place, totalled eight minutes.

This increased the overall viewing figure by eight minutes to three hours and 42 minutes.

BBC Three moving online-only
Thinkbox said that the closure of BBC Three on broadcast TV in February is "partly responsible" for the rise in commercial TV viewing and drop across BBC channels.

Between March and May, BBC broadcast TV viewing declined 8%, or 5.6 minutes a day, compared with the same period last year, according to BBC figures.

However, the drop in 16- to 34-year-olds, the core BBC audience, tuning into BBC TV plummeted 18%, or 6.2 minutes a day.

Total TV viewing from January until June among the demographic fell by an average of three minutes a day year on year to two hours and 20 minutes a day.

Although on commercial TV, there was a rise of one minute a day to an average of one hour, 49 minutes.

The Thinkbox research noted: "With iPlayer viewing flat across the same period as reported in the latest iPlayer performance pack, it appears that the BBC has lost the viewing BBC Three previously provided. This underlines the continued importance of having a broadcast TV channel alongside an online [video-on-demand] service."

ITV2 viewing rockets 27%
The research added that ITV2, a competitor to BBC Three, had a 27% rise year on year in viewing between March and June, boosted by Love Island and Family Guy. The latter was previously a BBC Three show.

BBC Three’s strategy to move online is the opposite to that of Vice Media, the youth-oriented brand, which is launching a TV channel called Viceland on Sky next month.

Matt Hill, research and planning director at Thinkbox, said: "TV is thriving on all screens, but the importance of TV channels on TV sets cannot be overlooked. They remain the first port of call for the majority of people of all ages.

"The apparent boost that commercial TV has received from BBC Three’s disappearance from the schedules underlines this fact – a strategy that is in stark contrast to the imminent arrival of Viceland on commercial TV."”

I can see BBC3 making a real world comeback if the evidence is lots of younger viewers have ditched the BBC. Maybe why they kept the name.

It's been exceptionally good. Shame it couldn't get a BBC1 post 10.30 slot. Think that's the natural place for most BBC3 stuff. BBC4 stuff should air on BBC2.

Or maybe not. The showreel I've seen for the sitcom season online doesn't really sell any of them, although the Porridge update looks like it might have a quality about it.

Might be why the sitcom trailer has been done how it has.

Most people still watch a broadcast channel first then go online. We've seen young people turning out for Big Bang Theory on E4 and Love Island on ITV2.

Last night on BBC2 Fleabag had 973,000. I don't know why they won't promote the BBC2 showing as well as the iplayer one. They did with Car Share.

I don't think much of the trailers for Sitcom Season. If they get people watching I'll be amazed. The ratings will be interesting on Monday morning.

I hope it does come back, as beyond Family Guy dominating the channel's ratings there were lots of good programmes that don't have a natural home on other BBC channels.

Personally I think BBC4 doesn't have a proper reason to exist. None of its programming wouldn't look out of place on BBC2, even the documentaries (the sorts of stuff Arena or 40 Minutes did).

I guess Beeb took the easier option of closing Three because it had the bigger budget.

Pleased to see the closure of BBC Three as a TV channel has been proven a complete failure. I'm still disgusted that the BBC were allowed to shut it down. The nonsense that it would simply transition to an online service has not worked at all.

This series of Channel 4 sitcom Friday Night Dinner is currently averaging 1.55m, almost level with the 1.61m of the 2014 series.

However, three out of the four consolidated figures have been up on 2014, and this week's episode should come out up YOY too (overnight 0.73m exc.+1 vs. 0.69m in 2014)

Last week's edition consolidated a solid 60%, increasing to 1.37m from an overnight of 0.86m.

Should be more than enough for a renewal - provided Robert Popper wants to write another one.

Note about Euro 2016:
BBC 1 is the match average, ITV is the broadcast average. Going off BARB figures.

I know it will be minuscule but does anyone have the +1 inclusive figure for the England v Iceland game?

I totally agree. Things like Fleabag which the average BBC2 viewer will consider awful have been dumped there to die. It (and the other new programs) deserves so much more.
