Viacom haven't seen that many 1m ratings since they took over the channel so this is spectacular for them. Bye to the disdain for it I suspect.

Just had some ratings information through from the press team.

-In terms of share, last night's launch as the second highest ever on Channel 5, behind the first series in August 2011
- While on air, C5 was the second most popular channel behind BBC 1
- Across the day, C5 claimed 7.1% of all viewers. As such it was their highest day since March 2012. Additionally, the share of 16-34's hit 10.9% which has not been beaten since May 2010


ALL VIEWERS:
3.3. Million/16.3% share - +210% on vs slot

16-34's:
29.9% share - +399% vs slot.

:clap1: CBB isn't going anywhere

Anyone who has virgin a heads up there seems to be a cock up and its down as a repeat.

Ive got it as a series link and its not set to record tonight.

Odd.

Any news for the live feed?

Yas at that rating :clap1:

:dance: amazing rating especially the share

I have a feeling tonight will be low. Like under 2m.

Same didn't see cbb trend once tonight either :worry:

2.4, beat itv but massive drop

2.6m with plus one

2.6m incl +1 is very decent. Actually its the 2nd most watched first HL show of the CH5 era just behind CBB8. Yes, CBB13's first episode was on a Saturday, but the 2.6m beat every single rating bar one on the first full week of last January's run. I think that CH5 beat ITV again too.

Agree surprised actually didn't see it trend much last night

Me too. It looks very healthy. If it stays within that range, that would mean around a 3m official which would match last January! For it to be the lowest winter edition, it would need to fall below CBB9s 2.6m official (2.2m overnight).

I've noticed the c5 era of the show numbers are holding up much better than c4s later years

Fantastic!!! Nearly 1 Million up on CBB 13 first highlight show which got 1.85!

2.35 (10.1%) without +1, then 202k (1.2%)+1. So in total 2.57 (11.3%)

Last night was the smallest drop for a CBB in history.

CBB1 (March 2001, C4): N/A
CBB2 (November 2002, C4): 37%
CBB3 (January 2005, C4): 37%
CBB4 (January 2006, C4): 32%
CBB5 (January 2007, C4): 28%
CBB6 (January 2009, C4): 45%
CBB7 (January 2010, C4): 44%
CBB8 (August 2011, C5): 38%
CBB9 (January 2012, C5): 29%
CBB10 (August 2012, C5): 37%
CBB11 (January 2013, C5): 44%
CBB12 (August 2013, C5): 24%
CBB13 (January 2014, C5): 46%
CBB14 (August 2014, C5): 26%
CBB15 (NEW January 2015, C5): 22%

Wow that's impressive

Wow, that's fantastic!
Hoping tonight will do well. Considering that CBB has viewers that just tune into launch night, that retention rate is pretty impressive.

Once again came second in it's slot too!

ITV is woeful these days BBC always seem to do well with their dramas

These ratings b giving me heart ****ms!

Brilliant share of 10%

Seems the whole channel has been given a boost in ratings since CBB has started.

This time last week it looked like a limp dick but now other shows are rating over 1 million again.

:clap1: very impressive
