I still think Sunday nights at 9pm would be better for it.
But then, the replacement on Tuesday at 21.00 wouldn't do as well. I think BBC1 have got the balance right personally. |

^ That schedule looks great but I'm not in favour of TXF moving to Sunday. I dont think Simon would let it move TBH either.

Good ratings for Waking the Dead though I agree it should be on Sundays and Mondays. CSI in comparison has really suffered ratings wise due partly to the writer's strike which forced Five to air repeats durng the run and also stronger competition like WTD, football and The F Word whereas CSI: NY has maintained a stable audience throughout the series.

Thanks. I also would prefer the results on Saturday, but unfortunately I think ITV have already made the decision to move the results to Sunday. That's why Sharon Osbourne is apparently wanting more money, on the basis that she has to work an extra day.
I had hoped Emmerdale's recent fall from grace had ensured its move back to Sunday but seems not.

From Media Guardian- ITV expecting 13 million viewers for tonight's match and a bucket load of money: Quote:
ITV hopes for £10m Euro final payday
ITV could make more than £10m in ad revenue from tonight's all-English Champions League final, with major brands flocking to the event - including Ford, which is launching a $60m (£30m) pan-European TV campaign. Huge interest in the first all-English final, between Manchester United and Chelsea, has led ITV to speculate that viewer numbers could hit 13 million across around two hours of live coverage. The broadcaster has lined up an array of top-flight advertisers for the final including Nike, Heineken and Audi - as well as some more unusual names, such as BlackBerry, which is thought to be running its first TV campaign in the UK. Ford Europe is using the event to launch a TV campaign, created by Ogilvy Advertising in London and Stockholm, to launch the four-wheel drive "crossover" car Kuga, which will compete against models such as Toyota's Rav4. The car manufacturer, which is launching the multimedia campaign across 21 markets, is committing around £30m to the campaign, around £6m of that in the UK market. ITV will make close to £9m from TV advertising during the final, and more than £10m if the match goes to extra time and penalties, according to Havas-owned media agency MPG. The advertising bonanza compares with between £2m and £3m in ad revenue for a typical Wednesday night schedule and between £3m and £4m for a Champions League final with no British presence, said MPG. Advertisers have been flocking to book Champions League final ad spots, which have rocketed in price from between £100,000 and £150,000 for a 30-second slot in a final with no UK teams involved to as much as £250,000 for tonight's match. "On top of a hugely valuable football fan demographic, this type of event gets people watching who are not heavy TV viewers. It is a unique opportunity," said Gary Digby, the customer relations director at ITV. "The market will pay what it will pay. We have sold out so they [the ads] are at a price the market thinks is sensible." Digby added that the contest could easily crack a live match average of 13 million viewers because of the presence of United - which attracts more viewers than other top-flight English clubs - particularly if the match went to extra time. United's last-gasp 2-1 victory in the 1999 Champions League final attracted a peak audience of 19 million viewers. Ford's TV ad opens with a woman waking up and running outside to find that an entire city has been covered over - from street level to the tops of buildings - as a giant white canvas. The ad states: "We keep following the same old design rules. Imagine if we could start again with a blank canvas." It finishes with a Ford Kuga rolling through the "white-out" of the city. Ogilvy Advertising used 53,475 sq ft of artist's canvas, most of which was recycled after the shoot.The commercial was directed by Nicolai Fuglsig, who was also responsible for the Guinness "Tipping Point" and Sony "Balls" ads. Ogilvy Advertising estimates that Ford's ad will reach an audience of around 360 million across Europe when it airs during the final. Ford used last year's Champions League final to launch the "Balloons" TV ad to promote the launch of its new Mondeo model. Last year's final, which saw Liverpool lose 2-1 to AC Milan, attracted a peak audience of 10.1 million viewers and a live match average of 9.5 million. The 2006 final, which saw Arsenal lose 2-1 to Barcelona, drew a peak audience of 12.2 million viewers and a live match average of 11.2 million. And Liverpool's epic 2005 win over AC Milan after extra time and penalties saw an average of 10.8 million viewers and a peak audience of 14.6 million. |

Ratings pretty much as expected last night. Holby City is really suffering from having the poor lead in from EE-it seems to have suddenly done right down and now on par with The Bill-I'd have thought the Bafta win would have seen an increase in viewers-not decrease.
Waking The Dead has actually performed excellently this year, mainly because it has only fluctuated by around 1 million the whole series and not constantly dopping viewers. I think it's lowest rating is something like 5.8 and highest 6.8. CSI season finale seems a little low-that too has seen a sudden drop after FIVE had to show some repeats because of the writers strike. |

TBH I think the current Tuesday Night schedule on Five needs a bit of a rethink.
Why do you think it needs a rethink? |

It is actually the Chelsea Flower Show on BBC2 that has taken the viewers away from Holby.

Really? I think it's extremely solid. They have a factual show in the 8pm slot which provides a nice lead in for CSI/CSI Miami, then a repeat after it will always perform well and then new episodes of Law & Order at 11pm pull in around 1.3 million and a 10-13% share.
Why do you think it needs a rethink? At the moment, i think there are too many documentaries on Five at the moment and it's harming them, perhaps cut down on them and have more factual entertainment shows in the 8pm/9pm slot. The CSI Miami repeat at 10pm should be moved to Five US and replaced with a US import like Without a Trace or a new US show like The Mentalist, it would definetly boost the share and ratings. |

I can actually see FIVE aquiring Without A Trace soon as it seems CH4 are steering away from the imports and that would be a great companion to CSI. However at the moment the CSI:Miami repeat pulls in excellent figures for them. Talking of CSI and Without A Trace, CH4 are finally showing the 2 parter on More 4 this upcoming Monday

I do agree that FIVE need more homegrown entertainment shows, because they only seem to produce factual shows.

Also, both House and NCIS could do with companion shows as well as Grey's Anatomy is underperforming and should ideally move to Fiver and Shark has been cancelled so i expect Five will be buying lots of new shows for itself and its digital channels |

Seeing as people have done some fantasy ITV schedules, I thought I'd join in....
Not too sure about your ideas for The Bill, though. As solidly as it might perform in the ratings, surely it would be restrictive for it to occupy two plum 9pm slots all year round. And with the introduction of 'Sun Hill General' on Tuesdays and Thursdays, that would mean four soaps on Tuesday and Thursday all year round! Surely, even the most committed soap fans would find all that a chore. I really think 'Sun Hill General' would be a bad idea - the last thing ITV need to be doing, if they're serious about reaching new demographics, is increasing their soap output.

Interesting ideas in that schedule, rzt. I very much agree that Corrie needs to vacate that Wednesday slot once ITV have the England matches as well as the Champions League (which actually has two extra match nights a season under the new deal). The 8.30pm slots don't seem to be going down too well, so shifting to Tuesdays and Thursdays makes sense.

I really think 'Sun Hill General' would be a bad idea - the last thing ITV need to be doing, if they're serious about reaching new demographics, is increasing their soap output.Also, "Sun Hill General" would only take 1 hour out of the schedule per week. As I said before, personally I wouldn't want to see it. But I think ratings-wise it could do well, especially after the Corrie lead-in. With Corrie at 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, that would break BBC1's dominance with Holby City in the 8pm Tuesday hour. Also, "Sun Hill General" doesn't have to be a soap- it could be more of a drama, like "House" or "Grey's Anatomy" in USA. It doesn't even have to be a spin off of The Bill- they could name it something completely different and set it somewhere else. Also, although I did say it would be all-year-round, they could maybe show it only in the Winter months, having a break in the summer. ITV would have a very strong core schedule. Then, they could put their best shows which are not core into the schedules, instead of filler shows which they have done increasingly recently. |
