Does the BB TV schedule need sorting out?

[Johnnyuk123]

Some nights BB is on at 9pm and other nights 10pm.
I think starting the show at 10pm on a weekday is not helping the BB ratings at all.
A 9pm start would probably attract more viewers especially during the week.
BB needs to choose one or the other and stick to it, if they want to get the viewing figures higher than they are then it would make perfect sense for them to stick with a 9pm start each night, when people are still around to watch it during the week.

What do you think?

I'm sure it was scheduled to change next week, but I can't remember where I saw that!!! lol

At 9pm it faces more competition, the show is watered down and the share is lower. 10pm allows more adult themes and a higher share. Wednesdays are 9pm now due to Love/Hate - drama on 5

Love/Hate, that was it!

But isn't the water shed for adult content 9pm?

The watershed begins at 9 and is supposed to be a gradual transition, you can't, say, have teletubbies followed by Robocop.

In other words, no **** or bugger straight after 9. But milder stuff is fine. By 10 you can basically show whatever.

Another way to look at it is... They could show a 15 rated film starting at 9, but are unilkely to show an 18 rated until 10 or 11.

No wonder why BB6 was on at 10 all the time :laugh:

Its on at the times it always has been so the times cant really be used as an excuse.

after 9 is after watershed

after 9 is after watershed

As previously explained the watershed is gradual. You can't suddenly go from no swearing at 8.59pm to **** at 9pm. At 10 you can show whatever in reason

It's better at 10, less competition and a higher share... the ratings are doing fine tbh

[Madlyaddicted]

I hate it being on at 10. Can't stay awake much longer than that s o have to watch it the following morning but really hate waiting that long as I look forward to the show so much

[cookiemonster]

does the watershed even matter these days? i heard bitch in coronation street last night and that was at half seven!!

The ratings are poor, and five are experimenting to see which fare's better. If it continues to rate averagly in ethier time slot, then i've been told it'll be axed.
