Speaking as a non-sports fan, why do the BBC need to waste money by bidding for stuff that would be on other free channels anyway?

Yeah and the BBC still have the FA Cup until May 2008. The rights for the CL and the UEFA cup will be up then as they run out in 2009.

The other channels pay for it as well.

The BBC are going to be missing out on the big ratings these matches score, especially having just lost the rights to the FA Cup. They really need to be ready to acquire UEFA or the Champions League at the next round of bidding.

Ta!!!!

BBC will never get Champions League as there is far too much advertising ab#nd sponsorship surrounding it. They would need to have constant interruptions to plug the sponsors. It isnt ITV that arrange sponsorship for it, it is UEFA. I cannot see UEFA allowing their main European TV market to do away with sponsorship just because the BBC want the rights to CL.

CL on BBC = NEVER

To provide value for money to the licence fee paying sports fans.

I didn't realise that Eastenders was falling down the ratings quite so much.

Cheers

are you enjoying them i am first-time fan loving pam and jr especially them
today's 2nd episode was best yet.
they really keep things going fast dallas first show ive watched in a while thats done this.

Low Ratings All round - Glad the Apprentice is doing so well.

What did it normally used to get? It just looks to me like they are all a million/thousand apart? I don't see whats wrong or bad about any of them apart from the fact the highest is only 10 million which doesn't sound right.


How to they measure ratings anyway?

Well actually they nearlly get them the last time as the BBC were going to cover advertising costs like they do the premiership.

Yep, the bid was actually higher than ITV's IIRC - but not high enough compared to what sponsorship would bring in. How high can they go before it's no longer justified?

according to broadcast:

"BBC2's struggling sitcom Roman's Empire at 9.30pm found itself in the embarrassing position of losing out to ITV2 at the time as Katie and Peter: the Next Chapter drew 1.1 million viewers in multichannel homes, a share of 6.3%"

People really do love to watch Katie and Peter

Roman's Empire's attracted 1 million viewers and a 5% share between 9.30pm and 10pm.

Hustle attracted 5.3 million viewers between 9pm and 10pm, a share of 24%

Channel 4's documentary Lie of the Land, in which award-winning film-maker Molly Dineen examined life in the UK countryside, averaged 1.5 million viewers, a share of 7%, between 9pm and 10.30pm.

Over the 9pm hour, Channel Five's US import House continued to do the business with 2.2 million viewers and a 10% share.

Panorama attracted 3.9 million viewers and a 19% share between 8pm and 9pm.

The Bill in the 8pm hour, drew 5.4 million and a 27% share.

Sky One's Bones broke the 400,000 mark with 421,000 (2.37%).
