Ouch!, what a flop The Nightly Show has turned out to be. Is that the lowest viewing figures that ITV have had for a 10:00 show by the way?

Ouch!, what a flop The Nightly Show has turned out to be. Is that the lowest viewing figures that ITV have had for a 10:00 show by the way?

My immediate reaction is to check what ITV showed during the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics. During the Opening, a Vera repeat was shown from 9pm-10:30pm and averaged 1.59m (1.18m exc. +1). I'm unsure what was shown at 10pm during the Closing, but a repeat of A Touch of Frost rated 1.08m at 9pm (670k exc. +1, which was the lowest ever rating for a 9pm show on ITV), so presumably whatever was shown at 10pm got even lower.

There has to be alarm bells ringing about Eastenders? 5.7m on a 'regular' Tuesday showing in March is shocking.

Indeed - this time last year, Eastenders rated 6.99m (I believe this was the week after "Mother's Day Week" and the episode that the Carters found Ollie having a seizure in his cot).

Roots is the drama that aired on BBC 4 and it's very impressive for the channel. Doing a bit of research, the last time a programme got higher on the 7-day data was 21/11/15 when The Bridge rated 1.81m. It got 2.11m on 28-day data so Roots beats it on that. 28-day data only goes back to December 2014, but no other BBC 4 programmes have got over 2m in that period. The last time a BBC 4 programme reached 2m was when Hattie rated 2.01m on 19/01/11, which was in fact the highest consolidated rating for BBC 4 ever.

Fantastic peak for Rugby on ITV and Takeaway is just shy from its series opener.

Great peak for Ireland v England which wasn't a title decider. Any figures for ITV racing's coverage of the Cheltenham Festival if possible please?

1.15m (15.0%) from 1pm to 4:30pm.

Thanks for that, very much appreciated. That's higher than last year's Cheltenham Festival coverage on Channel 4 which got 830k last year.

 

Figures for the Grand National will be interesting to see.

ITV News at Ten aired for an hour, so I assume The Nightly Show did not air.

Series 4 (2017): 5.03m (23.4%)

 

I was expecting better for Line of Duty but I suppose it's not a bad rating all things considered - it had a competition from Vera (which had an hour headstart), it also managed to knock Vera down over 1m from its rating last week, it is up almost 2m from the last series on BBC 2 and it's bound to be a huge time-shifter (the last series time-shifted on average 1.5m, which is huge for BBC 2).

I thought Line of Duty might have been a bit higher as well! It could grow each week though and add a lot on timeshift, so we'll see.
