Does anyone know the viewing figures?

[KKBL]

just seen launch got 5.3 million

[KKBL]

yep thats it.launch night including C4+1 got 5.3 million

[KKBL]

wait its 5.4 million

[Spike]

Thats really bad.

[Jaaaack.]

Oh dears; Is this bad?

Not completely terrible. Its down 800,000 from last year. I hope it rises. It got 5.4 million.

[KKBL]

id say the official will be higher though

[Hades]

Anybody who thought it would get over 6 million was just fooling themselves. 5 dna a half million should be considered a modern miracle after the rubbish end to BB8 and complete alienation og two thirds of the BB audience with the fiasco that was Celebrity Hijack.

[Spike]

It deserved better, hopefully it will gain some viewers tonight from people talking about how good it was.
I think if its a good series the ratings will be better
Thats what you get when the show is poorly advertised

[KKBL]

i still think 4 out of those 5 million will wath the HL's

[*mazedsalv**]

My prediction for tonight is 3.8 million.

[Spike]

It got a share of 25% which is very good
This is a make or break series lets hope the highlight shows do well

[\PJ/]

Thats terribe i hope ratings improve.

[Hades]

2.8 - 3.2 for tonight methinks.

[Tom]

Bad for BB, good for C4.

There just wasn't enough convincing advertising in enough places. People just think this year will be like last year.

The media are behind the show this year instead of giving up like last year, hopefully it will help figures pick up.

This weekends figures will be poor anyway because it is the weekend and most people will be out. I think they should have launched on a Monday to get it off to a safe and steady start.

[Sam]

After BB8 and Hijack, the interest in the show is a little less than usual, but it's not bad, I predicted it would be about this. I think as the show carries on, the viewing figures will generally be good, as it needs to build up interest again.

The hare only went down by 1% from last year. Thursday nights are the new Friday, 18-30 year olds go out on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Ive read 2 papers today so far while being on the busses and its all looking good in the media, although the MEN and the Metro are calling it a freak show haha.
I have a feeling it will improve over the series, lots of people have been talking about it. But some people are saying its rubbish, some saying its great. Not alot of people like the blind guy, but ive already heard from someone that they want him to win... TUT.

And yeh, Thursdays is student night in most places, so not many students would of been in watching it.

Thats good! Positive Media attention for the first time in years! yay!!

It still won it's time slot. The ratings were bound to be down after the terrible CBB5 and BB8. But 5.4 million is still good and it peaked at 5.9 between 10-10:30pm

Hopefully as it got off to a good start, the ratings increase of the series. Tonights and Saturdays ratings won't be good simply because shows never perform great on these days, but Sunday and after hopefully we'll the ratings increase. All the main tabloids have BB on the front page today.

[*mazedsalv**]

I think I read that the last 15 minutes peaked at 6 million.

[Tom4784]

It's great ratings for C4. They ussually only get 1-2 million viewers on evenings.

[*mazedsalv**]

It beat all the other channels, i dont see the massive problem. Also yesterday, in most parts of the UK it was student night(My sister was out too and watched BB this morning). Most 18-24 year olds are out. A peak of 6 million is great.

[Cody™]

I was actually quite shocked to see the viewing figures. I expected ATLEAST 6m.

Maybe alot of the younger audiences are busy with their exams.

I dunno, i just hope it improves.
