Stop it with the pathetic scheduling!

Ther eviction interview show on Friday again is scheduled to finish at 11:10pm.

whats their problem??
Freddie's interview by finishing 10 mins early took away 400,000 viewers watching.
Its going to be the same for Friday, why do they do this? Theyve only done it 3/4 times this series but all of those times, they have been the lowest rated shows!

Looks like Bea's interview will never break the 3m barrier, all because C4 have scheduled the show to finish 10 mins early :rolleyes:

Actually the 10 minute finish was unforseen because there was a court case on, that the person involved in it went to court to stop a programme about him been shown on Ch4 on Friday night. Its a long story but part of the deal was that he only okayed it after the final cut but he didn't get to see it so he got an injunction out on it but i think its rescheduled for this friday night.

Usually the show is from 10:35pm-11:05pm, and it finishes normally at 10:32pm (3 mins early) that is fine becaus eit wobnt make any effect on the rating.

Freddie's eviction was scheduled until 11:10pm, and the show finished at 11pm meaning it finished 10 mins early, as the show was only supposed to be 35 mins, it was only on for 25 mins on, so from 11pm and 11:10pm everyone turned off, but they still count who was watching until 11:10pm.

Freddie's eviction from 10:35pm-11:10pm got 2m viewers, but from 10:35pm-11:00pm it got 2.4m, so 400,000 was lost just becausen it finishhed 10 mins early.
Freddie's interview was averaging 2.4m-2.5m but then they have to add the ratings until 11:10pm, from 11pm-11:10pm there was only 400,000 people watching C4 as BB was finished but they still count that, so it significatly dragged the average down.

Same will happen this week, the ratings will be extremely low because it will finish 10 mins early again.

But the early finish is taken into account in the officials so Freddie's eviction will add about 700,000 on, so with officials it will nearly break 3m.

yes they add +1, C4 only it got 2m but with +1 it got 2.2m, but if it didnt end 10 mins early, the ratings would have been 2.6m not 2.2m.
