C5 dont they have to deliver the numbers otherwise the people placing adverts pay less and with big brother costing £40 million a year that is a problem.

I didn't say anything about money. Just that the Eurovision rating was worse than last years.

One night at 500k does not mean advertisers are going to move away from the Big Brother slot. Ratings this year have been pretty much on par with BB15 so advertising is unlikely to change around Big Brother. It also depends on the product placements and also the sponsors as well as the ad breaks (which again doesn't seem to be affected this year). Big Brother still made a profit last year (according to Ben Frow) so I doubt that will change much this year.

Considering quite a few people thought it would be below 500k, it's not the worst possible outcome.
I can't wait for these officials to come out. I hope they change the way these ratings look because it's ****ing depressing

I was commenting on how the ratings arent as important for the BBC as they are for C5 which is relevant to what you posted.
No need to be so defensive.
Eurovision averages about 180 million viewers every year.

Haven't watched it since Thursday to be honest...

Need to do a marathon tonight after work which means I will miss tonight's episode again. To be honest I have missed most of the past few days because of unsociable work hours from my crappy job.

I disagree the ad breaks are very short this year. Seems like no one wants to advertise during BB. Theres like 2 ads between each break.

BGT live starts tonight but finished before BB begins

[RichardG]

the ratings this year are abysmal

i can't complain though, i haven't watched for 5 days hopefully they'll pick up, not sure i can see that happening though tbh.

[Jamesy]

These ratings are so bizarre

[ruiphillips]

**** series, **** ratings.

[mrmattybeck1]

May start has really effected it so far ugh

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Under 1 million on a Sunday? Sunday is usually the highest rated day so god help the ratings this week could we be seeing sub 1 million all week?

I haven't watched it since Thursdsay as have been busy so recorded it all. It will be interesting to see the officials but I cant see them adding much.

Its been a very boring series thus far but like I said I haven't watched since Thursday so maybe theres been an actual argument or drama im unaware of?

Its bordering on BB4.
