Thanks very much MTVN for those numbers, do you have access to the 10 PM figures? I think they will be less then 9PM and hopefully illustrate that the ratings of the shows that are airing where BB would have are not doing as well.

Yeah they are quite down on BB numbers. The site just gives the top 30 rated C5 shows for that week and the only ones at 10pm that made it were:

TRAFFIC COPS*0.84m
THE STORY OF...*0.63m
EGYPT UNWRAPPED*0.59m
TOP OF THE BOX 0.51m

So the other three would have rated less than that

Thanks thats exactly the info I was looking for. So we can safely conclude that 5 is taking a big ratings hit without BB, food for thought for Ben Frow. I know some will ask does the shows high cost justify the ratings increase, but getting those kind of ratings at least 4 months out of the year also has a big halo effect on the entire channel itself. It also illustrates that despite Frows warped and pretentious view of the channel as more highbrow than lowly BB, the highest rated show at 10 by far is traffic cops with all the rest at .63 or below.They really have nothing near what theyd need to fill BBs slots in terms of replacement programming either available or even in development.
