Final BARB figures for the first week of SkyOne's new Sunday night schedule are in: Quote:
5.30pm THE SIMPSONS 0.453m This has got to be hitting other channels. With multichannel strong on Sunday nights & offering a schedule appealing to 16-34's & 35-44's to a lesser extent, what should others (BBC1 & ITV1) do - counter programme or go after the same audience?
6pm GLADIATORS 1.564m 7pm DONT FORGET THE LYRICS 1.039m 8pm THE SIMPSONS 0.544m 8.30pm THE SIMPSONS 0.542m 9pm LOST 0.905m 10pm GLADIATORS 0.402m |

The writer's strike didn't help though I suspect it will return to its normal ratings when it returns in January but TBH I think the current Tuesday Night schedule on Five needs a bit of a rethink.

It'll be interesting to see if ITV go after anymore US imports after some bad experiences. With Channel 4 seeming to step off, the cost could be lower, though. One of ITV's own series is being remade for a longer run in the US. "Eleventh Hour" will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for CBS and it has been given the 10pm Thursday slot following CSI. From Zap2it: http://www.zap2it.com/news/custom/ph...7.photogallery Quote:
Premise: Accompanied by his beautiful blonde bodyguard, a government science advisor travels the country investigating abuses of science and crimes of a scientific nature. The project is based on a British miniseries. Otherwise I could see Five picking it up. "Fringe" has been much hyped, from JJ Abrams of "Lost" and it could work for Five? First Impressions: There's the "Dark Knight" teaser with the tagline "Why so serious?" which may apply to "Eleventh Hour" as well. The pilot appears to have taken its cloned babies plotline directly from the British original and director Danny Cannon has given the show his trademark stylized look. Rufus Sewell looks to be a capable and compelling lead, but why did the clips screened for advertisers feature Marc Blucas -- presumably in what is just a one-off guest appearance -- far more than Marley Shelton, the show's second lead? Even if the clips weren't instantly outstanding, this is a slam-dunk in the post-"CSI" slot. Quote:
Premise: A young FBI agent has to team up with an eccentric, volatile scientist and his estranged genius son to solve crimes involving fringe science, the science of the supposedly impossible. Then there is Kath and Kim, the hugely successful Australian series now being remade for America. With Echo Beach and Teenage Kicks cancelled, they need some half hour shows and this could fit the bill for ITV.First Impressions: Alex Graves, who helmed the pilots for "Journeyman" and "The Nine," is one of TV's underrated directors and the clips from "Fringe" look stylish and handsome, instantly establishing a visual template for an intriguing thriller. Joshua Jackson conveys instant rogue charm and Lance Reddick's stern assertiveness is only slowly beginning to be recognized by non-"Wire" viewers. Anna Torv and John Noble's attempted American accents are going to take a bit of getting used to. Will "Fringe" find enough levity under the darkness to compliment its "House" lead-in? We're intrigued. I can see ITV2 and E4 looking at the CW's new take on 90210. We also have the Life on Mars remake, possibly bought for BBC2? Perhaps the most hyped is "Dollhouse" from Joss Whedon. Could BBC2 buy it and have a Thursday schedule: 9.00pm-9.45pm - Heroes 9.45pm-10.30pm - Dollhouse |

the new shows I see Five going for the main channel are The Mentalist and Eleventh Hour as they fit in with their other US dramas. Quote:

I suspect there is going to be a bidding war for 90210 as it will pull great ratings on title alone.

I think perhaps ITV1 could move The Bill to Thursday and Friday nights at 9.00pm - guaranteeing ratings of 4-6 million in what have difficult slots, particularly on Fridays. It would provide a nice counterbalance to comedies on BBC ONE, and allow ITV1 to put Benidorm etc. on Monday nights - potentially getting 6-7 million viewers.

I've given some thought to an ITV1 schedule of my own:
DAYTIME WEEKDAYS - 6.00 AM GMTV 9.25 Regional news magazines 10.00 The Royal Today 10.30 This Morning 12.30 News at Twelve Thirty; Weather 1.00 Regional news magazines 1.30 Dickinson's Real Deal 2.30 Daily Cooks Challenge 3.30 Loose Women 4.30 The Jeremy Kyle Show 5.30 You've Been Framed! I believe that this would be quite a strong line-up for ITV1; I think it would be good for them to make a greater emphasis upon regional news in their schedule, as essentially this one of the channel's great strength in the old days and there is always an audience for it - if they really invested in reporters and coverage providing really good local news then this would definitely pay-off following digital switchover. The Royal Today moves to 10.00am all-year-round, hopefully getting around 1 million viewers as a springboard to This Morning; soaps have never been on this early before, but I think a simple medical drama could really do well at this time, better than the 4.00pm slot it was in before. Loose Women and The Jeremy Kyle Show's move into the afternoon is an attempt at targetting younger, mostly- female viewers coming home from school at this time - it is an alternative to children's programming and I imagine the 3.30-6.00pm block would get a higher number of 16-34s - something the channel needs. You've Been Framed! at 5.30pm seems like a good filler programme when people are coming home/eating etc. to have on in the background - furthermore ITV1 must have a continuous supply of it and I could see it getting a stable audience. PRIMETIME - 6.00 PM Country Ways/Disappearing London etc. 6.30 News at Six Thirty; Weather 7.00 Regional news magazines 7.30 Emmerdale (Mon, Wed, Fri) ~ Tonight (Tue & Thur) 8.00 News at Eight; Weather 8.30 Coronation Street As I stated earlier, ITV1's investment in regional programming is shown by having a weeknightly regional show on at 6.00pm other than news - which moves to 7.00pm allowing. I think this would be good because it allows ITV1 to shore up its early evening schedule with programming it knows it will get a certain audience for. The actual Regional News' move to 7.00pm highlights the greater priority it has in the schedule - this can replace Emmerdale without losing a huge amount of the audience - I am confident it would regularly get 4-6 million as The ONE Show does for BBC ONE. I have cut Emmerdale down to three times a week in a later slot, meaning that it safeguards Corrie's old territory on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, allowing that to move to every day at 8.30pm. The strength of this is: Emmerdale is clearly in trouble and can rebuild itself by cutting down episodes and ensuring that it gets a higher audience at this time (Around 7-9 million I think possibly?). Meanwhile, as has already been discussed in other people's ideas for ITV1's scheduling revamp, having Corrie on at 8.30pm everyday would be such a boon to the channel. Coronation Street regularly delivers audiences of 9-11 million viewers for ITV1 and I am confident it would continue to do so. In the summer, the damage done to the show would be less as people watch TV later. I have moved the News at Ten back two hours so it becomes News at Eight - a bold move yet one which I think would still result in higher audiences for ITV1. This would mean that there is a regular schedule for ITV1 in the 8.00-9.00pm hour every weekday. It also means that the channel is free to show films or whatever it wants beyond 9.00pm without the interruption of the News. ITV1 is no longer fighting a losing battle against BBC ONE but is offering a clear alternative with News at Eight - I think the target audience should be 2-4 million, something which News At Ten never regularly achieves so far. I've left the 9.00pm and 10.00pm slots blank because those would obviously be subject to change throughout the year. However, as I have already mentioned, I think The Bill moving to 9.00pm on Thursdays and Fridays would make sense and guarantee a good audience at the end of the week. Monday nights I see alternating between comedy (Benidorm, Headcases etc.) with special, more populist editions of The South Bank Show. Tuesdays and Wednesdays could be for dramas such as Taggart and The Fixer. The 10.00pm slot would see The South Bank Show on a Friday night with the rest of the week taken up by some USTV acquisitions, repeats of ITV2 programming (Secret Diary of A Call Girl, Jordan and Peter etc.) and possibly a year-round chatshow on Monday nights (Maybe with Piers Morgan but if he cannot commit - Adrian Chiles?) |

The daytime schedule just looks the wrong way round. I don't think it would work. Two 30minute Regional news slots is too much in the daytime slot. This Morning has a regional news update in the middle which I think is enough. Also i like Loose Women in its slot at the moment. If they were going to move Loose Women I'd rather they put it in the 5pm slot. I wouldnt be surprised if most people who watch ITV daytime stick with it from Jeremy Kyle right through to ITV Lunchtime News. The daytime line works well with Jeremy Kyle, This Morning, Loose Women and the News as year round staples and then they have slots from 2pm onwards where they have different shows and also to try out new stuff.

I really think ITV (now that it's having extra footie stuff) have a football show at 5pm to try and bring in a different type of audience.

I think mine is better.
![]() Firstly, you seem to neglect the fact that Wednesday will be disrupted heavily and regularly for football ![]() Secondly, yours is a bit unrealistic in that you are attempting to find two episodes a week of the 2 hour dramas for Sunday and Friday! Thirdly, I have News at Ten Sunday to Friday which IMO is the only way to compete with the BBC properly. You still keep the Late News on Friday. No idea why you choose to extend it on Monday - what if it's a very slow News day, then what? Overdiluted dirge? Fourthly, my decision to air 4 Corries on Sun/Mon/Tue/Thu and 3 hour long Emmerdales was one borne out of trying to think commercially and realistically. I think Emmerdale is turning into a more hour-long soap, and thought it may as well do it without clashing with EastEnders, so airing Mon/Wed/Fri at 7pm with Corrie at 8.30pm means this can happen and EastEnders cannot sneakily move slots. Also, it gives Corrie a regular start time, 4 nights a week. Having said this, Corrie would have hour long episodes at key points in the year, i.e. for momentous storylines, on Thursday, ending at 9:30 with the climax to the week. Then followed by 30 minute comedy/filler. I think it's very important Corrie airs on separate nights, not twice a night in most cases. Fifthly my schedule is more realistic I think. I only allocate the Monday and Tuesday 9pm slots to 1 hour drama which is more than do-able over the course of the year when you factor in the Sunday sleepers and Friday 2 hours. Plus it allows for more variety in factual on Wednesday and comedy on Thursday, and also means viewers aren't bombarded with drama like they were at the start of this year.The Champions League moves to Wednesday in two seasons time, that's why I'm neglecting it. |
