Yes, ITV's schedule isn't great. But as I mentioned in the ratings thread, there isn't much advertising opportunity for them. Especially against Strictly.”
The advertising opportunity is just not true, this weekend is the busiest full weekend before Christmas, people buying presents, people will decide this week where to buy their Christmas food, then post Christmas book summer 17 holidays, newspapers are full off one or two page adverts.
ITV could put up an alternative against Strictly, they have on Sunday put Midsomer Murders against SPOTY and Apprentice they didn't give up there.
Tonight ITV gave up.
Not one single LE or New show!
Now it's chicken and egg, if they show good shows they will get viewers,
The arguments could be why put Magriet on Christmas Day when the shops are closed, but it's all about having a schedule.
