I thought I'd make a ratings thread for this as BB19 isn't starting anytime soon, therefore we can't use BB's ratings thread to showboat how high LI's ratings are in comparison to their few hundred viewers!

literally, every series the ratings have climbed and climbed since the launch. 4million coming thru?

[Tony Montana]

4 Million is a Possibility at this time, But we will have to wait and see.

[LukeB]

It's crazy how it went from 500k to 3 million like woah, it just shows if you promote your show enough, know the audience and good production a show will be a success.

[Headie]

I wonder if it was on ITV1 whether it would get even more. I read it was the most watched 9pm show on any channel last night including BBC1 and ITV1.

[Daniel-X]

I was expecting it to move to ITV1 this year tbh. Will be extremely surprised if they don’t make the decision next year, this must be a massive cash cow for them.

I agree. I was expecting it to be on ITV this summer but I think with the massive ratings this is going to get, they will have no option but to move it to the bigger channel.

I think they've been hesitant because of the success it brings to ITV2 (it's now ITV2's highest ever rating show isn't it?) but I'm sure once it begins to reach its limit on ITV2 they will have to, from a business aspect, begin to look at giving it even more of a platform on prime time ITV1.

[Jason.]

I'm glad they didn't move it to ITV1 tbh.

They'd try to turn it into some family show with all the censorship. Plus it wouldn't be a flagship show like it is on ITV2 because I'm A Celeb and BGT both get like 10m and I doubt LI will ever reach that level, even on ITV1.

[LukeB]

I think Love Island will be on for many years?

either they stay on itv2
or if they do badly in future series it could go to itvbe

It would be stupid for them not to really. Ratings could easily double just from being on their flagship channel rather than ITV2.

[Tony Montana]

I'm Happy for it's success really. i'm also jealous to anyone who's watched it from series 1 because they have watched the show grown into the phenomenon it is now.

My Cousin was addicted to this show back in 2015 and would always tell me to watch it, But i thought it was beneath me at the time. How wrong was i!

[Jack_]

At the very least I'm surprised they didn't simulcast the first episode on ITV (like C4 did with Hijack in 08)

But idk, ITV is a bit too middle class, middle England for a show like Love Island. I'm not saying it won't happen cause if it continues to grow they might not have much choice, but like Jason said I'd be worried about them watering it down (tbh with you I noticed towards the end of last series any sex scenes in particular were way less graphic than they were in S1/2)

I'd want it to be on at 10, and that just wouldn't happen

[LukeB]

I wonder how many have watched Series 1 and 2 on netflix?

[pontyboi]

So what did last nights episode get?

[Jack_]

[Vanessa]

Brilliant ratings

[Gstar]

Fantastic rating again!

[pontyboi]

That's an amazing retention for the 2nd show and if previous years have proven anything I can only expect them to grow.

It actually beat last years overnights final not to mention it went head to head with our girl which allways does well.

If only big brother could pull this out of the bag ratings wise I would be one very happy chappy. Infact I would love to see itv2 buy the show from channel 5 they clearly know how to put on a good well produced programme.

[Gstar]

Almost 500k people watched the launch on the itv hub alone (one days worth of data) There is definitely a possibility of a 4 million official imo

[Jack_]

Love Island: 2.52m (13.6%) inc +1

[Pete.]

Remember when everyone tried to say how well BB16 was doing because of LI1 flopping in the ratings
