We'll more than likely get a 1 Millionish rating with +1 officially.

Mrmattybeck1 - it won't get cancelled for one night of terrrible ratings, granted it's the worse in a while, but what do you expect when 80% of those watching tv were turned to the football, it was till C5s most watched show of the day, which is respectable, and like I always say, it's 0.1% up on the channel average. It's not a lot, but it's not terrible either, we should worry when it's below the average share! plus I'm sure that everyone's aware of the strong competition, hopefully ratings will improve tonight, I imagine many sad England fans will turn away for the next few matches in spite of being 'sore losers'!

it will the way its going r.i.p bbuk

[Kai Anders]

If it's above the channels annual share (3.9%) it still makes a profit as it increases shares and viewing figures, increasing advertisement profit, regardless of how small it's better to make money than lose it! Plus there were only 20% of other viewing and when you consider that around 40% is typically for multichannels, and 60% for the main 5, although 4% of the 20% yesterday sounds slim, that's pretty good. That's like 1/5 of the other available audience which is typical of higher rated BB shows! It's fine! Trust me!

“@unhappybbfan: Big Brother: Bit on the Psych: 335k (1.7%) exc +1 #ratings #bbuk”

[Cal.]

That's way better than I expected!

The 2012 Olympic's opening ceremony in LONDON was a bigger event than this world cup game imo.

It was Caroline's eviction got about 400K when it was up against the Olympic's

[Gstar]

I watched the second launch twice

[*mazedsalv**]

As expected last night. Tonight's game faces BB, its France and Hondrous. It shouldn't be as big as the last few primetime ratings, so I am hoping BB recovers.

[Kai Anders]

I suspect another 900K exc. +1, hoping it breaks the 1mil mark, it deserves it!

[Cal.]

I watched both launch nights so many times. )

[RichardG]

Obviously not an ideal rating but last night did much much better than I expected it to.

[JohnnyBB]

love the launch night raitings they couldin't be any better, it is the football that's killing big brother now, shame on channel 5 and producers big brother should have launched after the world cup but oh well its happend now, whatever happens if the show gets axed or not this is a good series and ill enjoy watching it.

BB1 launched in July.

People are used to it starting May/June though

[Jarrod]

There's no point getting worked up about overnights.

Its the ratings thread.

[Me. I Am Salman]

[Jamesy]

If it started in July though the show would finish in October (accounting for the summer CBB), then 3 months later CBB would be back again. Overkill much?

[Rob!]

Last night could have been a lot lot worse so that's something. Might hit a million tonight. *sigh.*

[aman201]

Who in their right minds would watch BB over an England WC game anyway?

I watched BB on Sky+ at about 2am in the morning.

It's going to be same for me for this WC, i'm afraid.

[Kai Anders]

Do ratings take into account live streaming. Because of where I live, we don't always get Channel 5 because of the transmission. In fact, we didn't have Channel 5 until 2011 (lucky, when you consider two weeks before BB started we finally got the channel) so I watch a lot of BB on TV Catchup and TV Player to ensure I don't miss a second, do they take into account third party viewing like this in figures?
