The BIG BROTHER 13 launch peaks at 3.09m/14.5% for Channel 5.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

With an average of 2.6 million.

Hmmm...

[arista]

Yes more fun than
BBC Silk.

[Marc]

Not bad, they're going to just have to deal with these figures now. I don't see BB ever picking up like the BB3-7's of the past (I don't know the figures; I just mean it used to be much more popular in the past).

[Raph]

Hey, that's not too bad! Let's hope the launch was good enough to grip the majority of those viewers and maybe even attract some more.

[Vanessa]

I think it's ok as a start. I'm happy with it! :thumbs:

[Pronshi]

With billboards and if the show started at 9pm and finished at around 10:15pm-10:30pm I think the ratings could have being anywhere between 3.3-4.0
Let's just hope it can build up.
Without live feed tho there is no buzz to keep people watching... So really there is no way for the ratings to go up...

Well, all of terrestial elevision in general has gone down over the past few years. Not 7 years ago EE and Corrie had between 12 and 14m...now they're on 7/8m.

It's a good start. It well beat my predictions.

Doesn't include Channel 5+1. Should be 2.7-2.8m.

[Lewis.]

Really good for C5 - most of their programmes don't get anywhere near that so I'm sure they are more than happy with it. I expct out of all their programmes it is bringing in the most amount of ad revenue.

[Redway]

Doesn't include Channel 5+1. Should be 2.7-2.8m.

I'll go over to DS and get the full viewing figures. Wait a second.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Good rating for a show that was hardly advertised, I predict the main show will continue with around a million viewers.

[*mazedsalv**]

I'll go over to DS and get the full viewing figures. Wait a second.

Hasn't been released yet, but people saying it excludes +1. Should be 2.8m I think.

[Pronshi]

More ratings (excluding +1):

20:00- Big Brother: The Auditions: 1.2m (5.1%)
21:00- Big Brother: The Live Launch: 2.6m (12%)
22:45- Big Brother’s Bit on the Side: 820,000 (6.9%)

[Redway]

No, the ratings still haven't been done by DS. You'll have to wait an hour or two to get the full ratings, seeing as they don't usually post theirs till around midday.

[Redway]

Hasn't been released yet, but people saying it excludes +1. Should be 2.8m I think.
Yeah, I figured. I'll just wait, then, but DS will definitely report them with the +1 figures in, since they always do that, so if +1 takes us to 2.8m it will be 2.8m.

[Black Dagger]

Hmm, respectable, it's down to it's final cult following though now, people know this.

[Jake.]

2.63 according to digital spy, with a 12% share.... good or dissapointing?

[DS.]

It's excluding 5 +1, which could bring it up to close to 3 million, so not fantastic but certainly not disappointing either.

[Redway]

Yeah, they're good. They're identical to BB12's launch night, which also logged 2.63m, only a 12.5% share.

[Redway]

Here they are:

Tuesday 5 June 2012 - Big Brother Launch and Auditions

Big Brother's 13th series made a solid start last night (Tuesday), according to the latest overnight data.

Remarkably, the Channel 5 reality show launched with 2.63m (12%) between 9pm and 10.45pm, exactly the same figure as last year's network launch in September.

A peak at The Auditions saw 1.18m (5.1%) tune in at 8pm, while Big Brother's Bit on the Side with Emma Willis logged 821k (6.9%) from 10.45pm.

[MTVN]

Where is the peak of 3.09m figure from?

[Redway]

Where is the peak of 3.09m figure from?

To be honest, I really don't know. It wasn't reported on Digital Spy. Maybe it's from Media Guardian or something. I'll have a look now.

Edit: just had a look now and The Guardian (sorry, not Media Guardian) hasn't updated their ratings since late May. I don't know where the peak's from, either.

Another edit: just found what the OP was on about. http://beingbigbrother.co.uk/day-2-launch-night-peaks-at-3-09m-in-ratings/

[00Jamie00]

That's a pretty good start

[*mazedsalv**]

With +1 it got 2.71m.

[Redway]

OP, could you please start including links? It took me ages to actually find your content.

[Redway]

With +1 it got 2.71m.

Where are you getting that from?

Your prediction for how much +1 added was spot on, though. That's an increase of 80k.

Rzt released it on DS on the ratings thread on the BB section (which I made) :p

Ratings with +1 mentioned as well:

Big Brother: the Auditions (C5) 8pm-9pm
1.18m (5.1%) / 25k (0.11%) +1

Big Brother Live Launch (C5) 9pm-10.45pm
2.63m (12%) / 76k (0.5%) +1

Big Brother’s Bit on the Side (C5) 10.45pm-11.45pm
820k (6.9%) / 32k (0.5%) +1

So the BB13 launch had 2.71m (inc +1).

Oh, right. Thanks. Yeah, rzt is really helpful. He has the ratings that no one else can find. :p
