Tellymix have said the show has had bad ratings??

[Will.]

In pretty sure 1.2M when England are playing is outstanding ratings, and ratings have been quite good, apart from a couple. Do you think tellymix are correct?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The show has had bad ratings.

Its a shame and there will be a flood of comments here now defending it with every excuse under the sun.

Even with the world cup the episodes not facing any competition have been way down, it seems people chose to watch either BB or the world cup this year as both need a lot of time invested into them.

Even without the world cup after launch night part 1 think it would probably still be doing poorly in the ratings as it didnt particularly have a good response from the viewing public.

[lovebigbrotheruk]

BB has had terrible ratings. It will be off air soon, no doubt.

[Jamesy]

I thought it has been doing pretty damn fine, especially the past few days. 1.2-1.4m per night is around the same as previous C5 series. The first week was a bit crap but it has picked up now. Don't see what's so bad about that. :shrug:

[Josy]

They aren't as bad as some are saying :idc:

[Anothercat]

I think this years has been quite good, certainly more entertaining than last year

[Marsh.]

Is BB on its last legs 4 years after the "last ever" one? :worry:

[Samm]

It's against the Football

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I thought it has been doing pretty damn fine, especially the past few days. 1.2-1.4m per night is around the same as previous C5 series. The first week was a bit crap but it has picked up now. Don't see what's so bad about that. :shrug:

Its 400,000 down on last year I think.

[Jay.]

They aren't as bad as some are saying :idc:

This. If I remember it was the same last year? And it's against the world cup so it's fine. Don't sweat about it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It's against the Football

OMG shhhhh! lol

Please look at the ratings on nights when it wasn't against the football and still could barely hold onto 1 million viewers.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

This. If I remember it was the same last year? And it's against the world cup so it's fine. Don't sweat about it.

Last years overnight average' were 1.6 this year it's 1.2.

Theres a reason there re articles like this, people aren't making it up its fact that the ratings are down and by more then people expected.

[Samm]

OMG shhhhh! lol

Please look at the ratings on nights when it wasn't against the football and still could barely hold onto 1 million viewers.

no what are you talking about it's only got down when the football is on

[Jay.]

Last years overnight average' were 1.6 this year it's 1.2.

Theres a reason there re articles like this, people aren't making it up its fact that the ratings are down and by more then people expected.

They are still high though. There wasn't the world cup last year.

[InOne]

We're in the digital age. Rating don't mean much at all any more

[Jay.]

That's true, I don't think ratings count on demand views do they? What about recordings?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

no what are you talking about it's only got down when the football is on

No it hasn't.

Its down on last year even when the footballs not on fgs go and compare the ratings from highlights from lst year and this year and then come back.

You are talking nonsense.

[Samm]

No it hasn't.

Its down on last year even when the footballs not on fgs go and compare the ratings from highlights from lst year and this year and then come back.

You are talking nonsense.

It's been against the football every night and it clashes like 30 min in, people won't watch 30 min in they will watch it On Demand or on the repeats

[Josy]

No it hasn't.

Its down on last year even when the footballs not on fgs go and compare the ratings from highlights from lst year and this year and then come back.

You are talking nonsense.

Well tbf, people that are watching the football and haven't been watching BB would more than likely find it pointless watching even when the footballs not on because they wont have a clue whats been happening. :shrug:

[Samm]

That's true, I don't think ratings count on demand views do they? What about recordings?

On Demand etc, counts in the official ratings they are brought out a few weeks later

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That's true, I don't think ratings count on demand views do they? What about recordings?

Its different with a show like Big Brother where it relies on votes and is largely interactive.

People catching up after the weekend wouldn't have voted ect.

I know they have product placement ect but surely they must be disappointed with the money voting brings in seeing as even the hardcore BB fans admit on here don't even vote.

[LukeB]

am i the only one who thinks 1.2 and 1.3 is still good in ratings. people also watch it on plus 1 and on demand.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It's been against the football every night and it clashes like 30 min in, people won't watch 30 min in they will watch it On Demand or on the repeats

That's not true it hasn't clashed with the football every night plus the football wasn't on from the start.

Go and look at the ratings thread or a tv guide.

BB has not clashed with football everynight at all and football has ended before some highlights have aired on some nights.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Well tbf, people that are watching the football and haven't been watching BB would more than likely find it pointless watching even when the footballs not on because they wont have a clue whats been happening. :shrug:

Hence ratings being down.

That's what I said.

It's also on at 10PM instead of 9PM tbh

[Josy]

Hence ratings being down.

That's what I said.

So then you admit that the football could be the cause of the ratings being down?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It's also on at 10PM instead of 9PM tbh

Yeah but ratings are still down.

Channel 5 are stupid for even putting it on against the football. They could easily work around the schedule and put it on at 9pm but for some reason decide to air it head to head giving BB no chance.

It would of made sense to start airing in July after football had finished. BB used to start in July and finish in September back in the first few series I believe plus it would have given viewers a longer break since CBB.

[arista]

In pretty sure 1.2M when England are playing is outstanding ratings, and ratings have been quite good, apart from a couple. Do you think tellymix are correct?



no TM
is wrong as Ch5 UK
never gets that much

But its a Adult viewing
increase for Ch5

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So then you admit that the football could be the cause of the ratings being down?

What is this a court of law? LOL

Ive said that a million times.

I said in this thread if you go back and read that people may have chosen to watch football this year instead as investing in 2 shows is a bit much.

That's just 1 theory.

But for people saying its down because its up against the football every night are wrong because it does not clash with it every night.

[Marsh.]

Yeah but ratings are still down.

But then you have the problem of the second CBB of the year running through to October and leaving very little gap between that and January CBB. :laugh:

[JohnnyBB]

To be fair the housemates are **** but the quality of the show has gone up!

[Samm]

Anyway at the end of the day, axing normal Big Brother will destroy the point of the show, they would never do it

No as they know many that are not watching Football
in other rooms of the homes.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

No as they know many that are not watching Football

Ok then.

Ratings say otherwise.

[arista]

To be fair the housemates are **** but the quiality of the show has gone up!


For Sure

[JohnnyBB]

Everyones seem to have forgotten theres no new contract that has been signed yet anyway, so as it stands this is the final series on channel 5.

[Marsh.]

To be fair the housemates are **** but the quiality of the show has gone up!

:suspect: Eh?

The housemates are the show so how do you work that one out?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Anyway at the end of the day, axing normal Big Brother will destroy the point of the show, they would never do it

Why would they never do it?

They are 100% more interested in CBB as it gets so much attention and far more viewers for them.

I wouldn't be shocked if they cancelled the regular BB now. I would have been years ago but not now.

[Josy]

What is this a court of law? LOL

Ive said that a million times.

No it's not a court it's a discussion..you were accusing Sam of posting nonsense when what he suggested is definitely possible, in one comment you are saying no the football can't be responsible for the ratings drop then you are going back on that and saying they are responsible now you have denied again.

The world cup is probably the biggest reason the ratings are down IMO.

[JohnnyBB]

:suspect: Eh?

The housemates are the show so how do you work that one out?

Oh no for me i split every series in half allways have done, Housemates/and how its run, you know graphics taks big brother voices, allthough i think theyve improved this year theres still alot to be done.

But what you have to question is how did the benefit show get 2m+ and bb got 1.2m makes no sense.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What Sam was saying wasn't right, BB has not clashed with the football everynight That's what I was getting at.

Its not a "discussion" when you are using the words "acusing" "denied" "you admit" for god sakes lol what im saying is right.

Ive said the football has effected it but also people may have just switched off as even when the football is not on the ratings are still down.

I don't know why you cant seem to understand an opinion that isn't one sided or simple.

Sam wasn't saying "its definitely possible" he was saying it as fact and it isn't a fact.

[Jamesy]

To be fair with votes, I bet they have raked it in this week given the anger against Pauline!

Its 400,000 down on last year I think.

Ah fair enough. It's still not too bad. Obviously any loss is not good but BB still shows it has a strong amount of viewers around the 1 million mark. I guess when we reach the end of the series it will be clear whether these ratings are killing the show off or keeping it steady still.

Everyones seem to have forgotten theres no new contract that has been signed yet anyway, so as it stands this is the final series on channel 5.

This has been on my mind for months. I was assuming we were going to hear something at the end of May/start of June. Worrying that no news has come. I guess either the Viacom deal is interfering with that or they're waiting to see how this series does. Big Brother has hardly been dying on C5 so it would be strange if they did not take the show further.

[Marsh.]

Anyway at the end of the day, axing normal Big Brother will destroy the point of the show, they would never do it

Will it? Putting so called "celebs" in the house who are desperate for fame is pretty much the name of the game now for CBB and BB.

Getting rid of live feed and making it more and more like Towie has destroyed the point of the show.

I was sad to see BB go in 2010 but I actually wouldn't care all that much if it ended this year. I can just about muster interest for a 3-4 weeks CBB, it's getting more difficult with the main show.

[Marsh.]

Oh no for me i split every series in half allways have done, Housemates/and how its run, you know graphics taks big brother voices, allthough i think theyve improved this year theres still alot to be done.

Oh right, production and casting.

BIB - Just shows how little interest BB garners nowadays.

I understand what you are saying, I don't want them to axe it but I wouldn't be that sad, I would still like it on C5, I still enjoy the show tbh

To be fair it's got less Towie since BB12

[*mazedsalv**]

Last years overnight average' were 1.6 this year it's 1.2.

Theres a reason there re articles like this, people aren't making it up its fact that the ratings are down and by more then people expected.

That's false. According to BBspy, last years overnights is 1.48m, and its overnights average after 2 weeks it was actually less than 1.4m.

This last week the overnight average of BB15 has been around 1.3m, so it is 100k down on BB14... oh, and the last 2 nights have beaten the equivalent of BB14.

Since Monday, 1.4m, 1.2m, 1.4m, 1.3m. Three of the four are higher than BB14. With ratings like this, we are looking at 1.6-1.9m officials.

The ratings are not bad at all, they are currently better than BB12-BB13 and are creeping up on BB14 now.

The majority has been down it may have picked up the last 3 or 4 days which is brilliant I don't want it to fail as some people may think.

Those ratings though are just you rounding them off seeing as we have no no plus 1.

Don't know why they haven't been released, I hope the officials include them and theres a big increase. I know BB14 did well in officials so maybe this year will be the same.

I don't recall BB14 being 1.4 in the first fortnight though I thought it was more 1.6 then 1.8/1.9 officially.

C'mon Salv even you have said how poor some of the ratings have been and it takes a lot for you to admit that lol.

[@bbuk_fans]

I'm sure once this viacom stuff has gone through we'll here a yes or no whether its being renewed, thats the only reason why we haven't heard yet because all the channel 5 sale

[Kai Anders]

BB ratings are fine!!

The officials are pretty much level with the first officials of last series, with a difference of only around 80,000. Remember, we're still in week 2 and this is possibly the most competitive season of TV with the world cup.. yesterday the show attracted 1.3 million, if you include +1, +24, HD, Live Streaming on the app and third party sites, Demand 5, Lunchtime repeats and 5* repeats, it's pretty much certain that figure will grow several hundred thousand...

It's very pessimistic to assume BB will finish because of a week of low ratings, what do you expect, I'm certain the producers are aware of this, otherwise they'd wait a week or two to air it until smaller matches in the World Cup begin. Channel 5 put BB in direct competition otherwise the channel would quite literally be obliterated, and even so.. the episodes are attracting near enough the same numbers as they would without the World Cup.. it's still making a good profit for the channel and it's still well above the average percentage share, in most cases it's almost DOUBLE!

Face it, BB doesn't aquire the ratings it used to of 3 or 4 million, granted it struggles to hit 1.5 nowadays, but what everybody seems to forget is the target audience. It's targeted at YOUTH. And in advertisement, YOUTH targets are the most important as they are the most who are more likely to spend disposable income on their products. Therefore it works out much better than many other channels, such as ITV and Channel 4, whose target market at the 9-10pm slot is typically somewhat older than 15-30s age range.

It's the channel's flagship programming and each year the ratings improve. Civillian BB continues to grow at a rate of near 100,000 new viewers each series, meanwhile CBB is attracting near 200,000 (minus the summer series, which due to low ratings often dip more than the winter editions, but are still vastly improving in ratings)

BB is a staple of Channel 5, British TV and British culture and there will always be a targetable market to make money. If ratings are poor, the producers will find ways around it, such as in this series, simple changes such as removing the news section and sweaty Box on BOTS and making the house design more simple, using commerical items, not one off, designer products.

BB is hear to stay, ratings yes are low at the moment but it still regularly hits Channel 5's most watched shows of the week, typically 6 out of 7 days.. furthermore, it's almost always rated at 3rd out of the main 5 channels, something which Channel 5 almost certainly never did before it aquired the show.


Sorry this is so long to read, but I got awfully fed up of the bad news surrounding ratings. It's true, but not to the extent of cancellation, now if anybody can be bothered to read this MASSIVE post, I acknowledge you dearly!

Rant officially over! :rant:

Great post but a few things the channel wouldn't be obliterated if Channel 5 put anything else on against the world cup. People still underestimate Channel 5, they get a decent audience and a lot of their shows hit well over 1 million on a regular basis.

I love Channel 5 documentaries aswell it really shouldn't be seen as the ****** amongst the terrestrial channels.

Examples are Dirty Dancing which recently got about 1.6 million I think and the benefits programme which got 2.2 million.

They would have faired just as well because they have an audience and people want to watch them.

Finally you start with ratings are fine and end with saying stories of the bad ratings are true lol.

But still a great post and much better than 99% of the rest on this thread. Obviously mines the best ;)

*Goes to look for Dirty Dancing dvd

[JohnnyBB]

Raitings for bb seems fine but when the benefit series is on every monday collecting 2+ million and then hotel inspector starting next thursday and thats collecting about 1.8million somone going to start asking whats the point of bb on channel 5 with 1.2million.

[Kai Anders]

Raitings for bb seems fine but when the benefit series is on every monday collecting 2+ million and then hotel inspector starting next thursday and thats collecting about 1.8million somone going to start asking whats the point of bb on channel 5 with 1.2million.

Channel 5's summer schedule has always been the ratings grabber. Yes BB sometimes gets knocked off the top 3-5 programmes of the week but you must remember, the more people watch another C5 show, the more likely they are to witness adverts of other shows, furthermore enhancing the possibility of viewers to watch even more shows. Channel 5 makes its summer schedule so jam-packed with the best shows, it knows people likes them, it knows more will watch and it knows it stands a very good chance of beating other channels like C4, whose programming is based on 'where can this go' rather than seasonal as with C5.

I for one ONLY tend to watch C5 when these shows are on, my particular favourites are The Hotel Inspector, Cowboy Builders and of course BB and CBB, meanwhile my mum loves NCIS and CSI. It's a very clever way to pull in a much needed audience, and it works with both young and old, something which many other channels fail to do.. look at ITV.. I haven't watched anything on that in weeks.. to me, it's all for adults and I find it petty and boring at the best of times!

They would never push BB aside for their other shows, it's a staple among others. As I KEEP SAYING, Why would they get rid of BB, for attracting, lets say 1.5 million, when other shows attract more, let's say 1.7 million. It'd do the channel far more damage to remove BB than any other shows, remember it's TWO solid months of good ratings. Loosing that in favour of other shows which are only weekly, only 6-10 times, compared to BB's 60 to 70 episodes and that would be perhaps the most stupid decision in British TV. More so than when C4 decided to axe BB in the first place..

Another, MINI, rant over! :dance:

Well I'm glad you (kind of) agree, I know ratings are lower than we would like, and yes I stated that but they aren't BAD. They're still well above BB12 and BB13 and you cannot except almost every series to increase on viewers.. that would be both silly and strange, particualrly as BB is in it's 15th year and millions believe it's the definition of trash TV, I beg to differ however..

Here's some more ratings info to see if I can change your or anyone else's opinion about these ratings..

BB14 OVERNIGHTS / FIRST WEEK

2.1m, 2.1m, 1.3m, 1.5m, 1.5m, 1.4m, 1.3m, 1.3m, 1.8m (1.6 AVERAGE)

BB15 OVERNIGHTS / FIRST WEEK

2.1m, 1.6m, 1.0m, 1.5m, 1.2m, 1.3m, 1.2m, 1.0m, 1.0m (1.3 AVERAGE)


(Just to point out.. the Second week of BB14 had a reduction in ratings, meanwhile the current series, BB15 has had an increase in ratings in its second week)

BB14 OVERNIGHTS / SECOND WEEK AVERAGE - 1.3M
BB15 OVERNIGHTS / SECOND WEEK AVERAGE - 1.2M


CURRENT OFFICIAL - BB15 is only 80,000 viewers down on BB14 in terms of viewers (in it's first week), thus suggesting that although less are watching, far more are catching up in other areas besides the main broadcast show, this is incredibly good news as it further suggests this year's audience is slightly larger, despite the decrease in viewers as more are watching in other areas.

(Lets also bare in mind that BB12 and BB13 often struggled to even hit 1.2m-1.4m)

(Lets also bare in mind, ratings change so randomly, it's hardly a problem, remember the Daley Hazel episode, overnight data showed 1.7 million watched overnight, the highest of any highlights show on C5, all down to good advertisement and word of mouth)


Another, MINI, MINI rant over! :bawling:

[Jake.]

Last years overnight average' were 1.6 this year it's 1.2.

Theres a reason there re articles like this, people aren't making it up its fact that the ratings are down and by more then people expected.

*1.48 if you're referring to the entire series

And ratings have actually matched BB14s ratings a few times/actually beaten them, BB14s ratings grew after the first couple of weeks

Yes! It's hard to judge the bad press and the 'terrible ratings' for this series when a single week can completely change the ratings direction. BB15 is just having teething issues, wait until this whole Power HM debate that seems to be continuos, begins to slow in tempo, then we'll see more fun and frolics, while still getting the desired friction and fear!

Maybe it's time to put the show on in the winter?

January through to March? :laugh:

ratings will probably get higher, England is out of the WC and many people won't bother watching the rest of it.

Ratings would be higher but the share would be flat, and often the share is deemed more important, as obviously it is a higher percentage of possible audiences. CBB Winter does terrificly well, however in reality, although it's like 1 million up on the summer series, it's share is only 2-3% more! I guess Winter has a lot of competition in terms of those watching TV, maybe they're all stuck inside!
