Default The Irish launch rating in terms of UK
So it had 550,000 in Ireland and Ireland has a population of 4.5 Million! so thats 1/9 in people watched BB in Ireland last night.

Uk has 64M, so 64 divided by 9 is around 7.

So if the UK watched BB like Ireland it would have got 7 million last night!

Thats crazy

That's about a third of the people who watched it in the UK.

so I assume 550k is high for ireland then? I saw it in the ratings thread earlier and thought it sounded terrible but if thats actually 1/9th of the population then maybe it's not too bad after all.

Its in the top three of ratings I would reckon here in Ireland. Firstly the night suited as it wasn't up against some of the most popular shows. Secondly BB is popular with a lot of the Irish and we had to add Channel 5 as an extra channel to our Sky package in order to watch it when it switched. Thirdly when I and any of the other Irish fans have been watching it on Cannel 5 we cant pause or record it which was a huge problem. Now we can.

I would reckon 550k would be in line with one of the most popular programmes over here like The Late Late show. Its a brilliant figure. I am glad. I love the fact that we can see it on our Irish channel now as well as Channel 5

If you knew how lousy Irish TV was you'd know why BB had large figs.

Irish television is not lousy. We have some brilliant programmes, documentaries, chat shows etc. I watch both Irish channels and other channels. The one channel I rarely watch is BBC1 as I don't find the programmes very interesting but I would never say its lousy. People have different tastes

It certainly seems like a bigger deal in Ireland at least relatively.
