From Broadcast:
14.8m see Diana concert Jon Rogers 12:00pm BBC1's coverage of the Concert for Diana was a real crowd please r last night as a mammoth peak of 14.8 million viewers (60.1%) tuned in at 10pm. The concert at Wembley stadium, which featured music acts from Duran Duran and Tom Jones to P Diddy and Take That, managed to attract a substantial audience over the time it was on air – from 3.30pm to 10.20pm – of 8.9m (44.4%). The peak audience was reached when Elton John was on stage. The concert kicked off with a strong 3.9m (32.6%) and it grew steadily throughout the day. By 4.30pm it had already surpassed the 6m mark with 6.1m (42.4%). Unsurprisingly, viewing figures for the Concert for Diana trampled all over the other terrestrial channels. ITV1's normally rock solid Sunday line up suffered. Coronation Street at 7.30pm could only draw 6.3m (27.2%), its lowest audience of the year. Heartbeat at 8pm managed a disappointing 5.2m (20.9%). Respectable performance BBC2's Coast managed a respectable 2.6m (10.4%) at 8pm but that was followed by Rome at 9pm on 1.9m (7.6%). Channel 4's block of Big Brother programming also had mixed fortunes. Big Brother on the Couch had 1.3m (5%), largely in line with last week's (24 June) show. The regular update from the house at 9pm drew 2.2m (8.7%), down by 1.2m viewers on the previous Sunday. Five struggled to break the million mark. Its two hour film The Forgotten, starring Julienne Moore, at 8pm had 900,000 (3.6%). BBC1's coverage of the Diana concert marked a strong week for BBC1 in peaktime (6pm to 10.30pm) with the channel ending with a share of 27.6%, 10 percentage points ahead of its nearest rival ITV1. All hours shares for Sunday 1 July 2007: BBC1 – 34.8%, ITV1 – 14.1%, BBC2 – 8.3%, C4 – 6.5%, Five – 3.9%, multichannel – 32.3%. Peaktime (6pm to 10.30pm): BBC1 – 45.6%, ITV1 – 15.7%, BBC2 – 7.5%, C4 – 6.1%, Five – 3%, multichannel – 22.1%. |

And Saturday's ratings from Media Guardian:
Doctor Who masters rivals Ben Dowell Monday July 2, 2007 MediaGuardian.co.uk Doctor Who: attracted 8 million viewers and a 39% share. Photograph: BBC Doctor Who finished its BBC1 series run with 8 million viewers and a 39% share on Saturday night, according to unofficial overnights. The finale, shown between 7.05pm and 7.55pm, revolved around the Doctor's arch enemy the Master, played by John Simm, and his attempt to enslave the human race. Saturday's episode was the concluding instalment of a two-part series finale storyline. The previous week's episode, shown between 7.15pm and 8pm, pulled in 6.9 million viewers and a 38% share. It was down slightly on the series opener in April, which attracted 8.2 million viewers and a 42% share. However, Doctor Who was comfortably the most-watched programme on any channel on Saturday. ITV1's direct opposition was a repeat of 1999 Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz adventure film The Mummy, which drew 3 million viewers and a 16% share between 6.10pm and 8.25pm. Between 7pm and 10pm, Channel 4's repeat of list show The 100 Greatest War Films attracted 1 million viewers and a 5% share. BBC2's Wimbledon coverage between 2pm and 8.30pm drew 1 million viewers and a 7% share, spiking in the last half hour with an average of 1.8 million viewers. On Channel Five, NBC news presenter Matt Lauer's interview with Princes William and Harry attracted 1.7 million viewers and a 9% share between 7pm and 7.50pm. There was less good news for BBC1 later in the evening, when James Nesbitt drama Jekyll continued to lose viewers. Jekyll's third episode attracted 3.8 million viewers and a 17% share between 9pm and 9.55pm, down 100,000 and four share points on the previous week's outing. The series opened three weeks ago with 5.1 million viewers and a 24% share. On BBC2 the last episode of the seven-part music documentary series The Seven Ages of Rock attracted 1.3 million viewers and a 7% share between 9pm and 10.30pm as actor Julian Rhind-Tutt profiled British indie music from the 80s to the modern day. On ITV1 an hour-long edition of Who Wants to be A Millionaire? drew 3.9 million and a 19% share between 8.25pm and 9.25pm. Millionaire was followed on ITV1 by a nostalgic look back to television from the 70s and 80s, That's What I Call Television, which pulled in 4 million viewers and a 21% share between 9.25pm and 10.25pm. On Five, CSI: NY at 9pm picked up 2.7 million viewers and a 13% share over the hour, while Law & Order in the 10pm hour attracted 1.6 million and a 9% share. |

Tenchically, the rationgs for the Diana concert should be separated into two parts because it was scheduled like that. The final part started at 8:30 and finished around 10:25. So Diana Concert (8:30) averaged: 12.4m..(53%).
It actually peaked OVER 15m! 21:40..13.03m 21:45..13.31m 21:50..13.47m 21:55..14.28m 22:00..15.08m 22:05..14.67m 22:10..14.56m 22:15..15.09m 22:20..15.12m 22:25..10.88m 22:30..10.39m 22:35..9.35m 22:40..8.60m -- Incidentally, what was the last tv show (not sports, or soap), which got a higher ratings average (in comparison to the 12.4m)? |

By the way, Broadcast's article that Doctor Who got 7.1 million viewers is incorrect. It got 8 million viewers and a 39% share

If we're not including Corrie which got 13.07m a few months ago, then it's The Vicar of Dibley on New Year's Day which also had 13.07m.

Can anyone explain the appeal of the Diana concert as it went completely over my head both musically and emotionally? Is the mood of the country going back to mass hysteria? It seems that way based on Britains Got Talent & now this gettting mega ratings.

Anyway, amazing ratings for the Diana concert. Will Live Earth be able to beat that I wonder?
Probably not given that Live Earth will be on BBC2 for most of the day ![]() The BBC have made a huge mistake in the scheduling and I think that is evident by the popularity of yesterday's concert. What's the point in a mixture of Wimbledon and Live Earth on both of the channels? BBC1 should have carried Live Earth all day long and BBC2 should have carried Wimbledon all day long. Simple. Instead I'm expecting one of those rare occassions on Saturday where BBC2 triumphs over BBC1 ratings wise. (in the daytime) Probably not by a huge amount though. |

To be honest, i dont think that BBC2 will triumph over bbc1. The coverage of live earth will start on bbc1 at 5:30, and end at 10:30 (for the london concert). Most people will be watching tv after 5:30, so i fully expect the bbc1 ratings to be better. I think it might touch 10m, but not as good as Diana ratings. Live 8 peaked with 9.6m, this will be similar.

Yes, the primetime BBC1 coverage of Live Earth will be strong ratings wise. But I am talking about the daytime coverage. I fully expect Live Earth on BBC2 to beat Wimbledon on BBC1. Heck, it'll probably rain and there'll be no play at Wimbledon anyway.

Oh... yeh i agree with you. I dont really know how wimbledon finals usually rate, but i assume that live earth on bbc2 will do better than wimbledon final on bbc1.
![]() Even still, I expect Live Earth will rate slightly higher. |

US ratings for yesterday Sunday:
NBC's hourlong primetime "Concert for Diana" was Sunday night's most-watched program, but it didn't carry the peacock to victory. The Diana tribute special featured big names in the music business and averaged 8.7 million viewers as well as a 2.1 rating/7 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates released Monday by Nielsen Media Research. But it was beaten in the demo by a repeat "Family Guy" (5.1 million, 2.7/8) as well as "The Simpsons" (4.9 million, 2.4/8), both on Fox. ABC won in the demo at 7 p.m. with "America's Funniest Home Videos" (6.3 million, 1/7/6), while CBS got the most viewers with "60 Minutes" (7.2 million, 1.2/4). NBC and Fox tied in the demo between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., when the Diana special ran. The 9 p.m. hour went to a repeat of "Cold Case" (8.4 million, 1.8/5), though Fox prevailed in the demo with "Family Guy" as well as an episode of "The Loop" (3 million, 1.6/5). And CBS won at 10 p.m. with a repeat "Without a Trace" (7.5 million, 1.6/5), which just missed in the demo against NBC's repeat "Law & Order: SVU" (5.6 million, 1.7/5). ABC was far behind at 10 p.m. with a repeat "Brothers & Sisters" (2.8 million, 0.9/3). Sunday averages: CBS (7.1 million, 1.4/4); NBC (6.4 million, 1.6/5); ABC (4.7 million, 1.4/5); Fox (3.4 million, 1.7/6); and the CW (1.1 million, 0.4/1). |
