OK I would like some insight to this.

SyFy in their infinite wisdom, has changed their Stream schedule of all of their shows (like SGU, etc.) So that each show now streams 8 days after they are originally shown on SyFy Channel. Further to their infinite wisdom, and ive check the awl' schedule in the US anyway, they never repeat the airing of the newest episode until 1 hr before the newest episode, the following week.

So for example, if episode 2 of SGU aired on Friday at 9, it wouldnt be shown again till the following friday at 8, and then it wouldnt be available online until the next day (saturday)

Is this some kind of fcuked up ruse to completely foul up the +7 and DVR ratings? Are they just trying to bully people back into the prime time friday slot? Times have changed, maaan. I like, *do* stuff, on fridays.

While SyFy repeats an awful lot of programmes generally new shows don't get as many repeats during their first run I assume that SGU will eventually be repeated daily. As it is on a Friday night I am guessing that working in SyFy have things to do hence why the show isn't available on their website until saturday.

New shows often get the repeat just before the next episode, E4 did this with Smallville and many other shows in the past. I always liked it as an Idea.

The next question is I thought that Sky 1 broadcast SGU on this side of the Atlantic.

Also as both Sky 1 and SyFy are pay TV they don't care too much about audience since your cable/Sat sub also give them some money.

I stopped watching Caprica. Actually because I found it particularly mellowdrum.

But the point remains, you play it once in 8 days, ratings are going to drop. It bewilders the mind on both hemispheres.

Mmm. I dunno.

But look, Im peeled to my television at the right time again finally.

those bastards :rolleyes:

Dunno why RTE/TV3 don't make the ratings as public as they are in the UK

www.barb.co.uk

Barb is a great website.

www.medialive.ie you have to sign up, it is free but they give you the weekly top 20s for 1, 2 and 3 while TG4 provide their ratings on their website.

The info is available.

Does anyone know if you can view 3e ratings/programme views online.

No unfortunately they don't get published. They have a 1.7% share.

Does anyone know what kind of ratings TG4's show Aifric achieved when it was broadcast?

It is hard to say with Aifric as it was a tweeny type TV airing before 7pm. They seem to repeat it enough so I would say that for the PONC time slot it does well for them. AFAIR it did quite well when it aired during 8:30 one summer.

I think it's time for a new system of monitoring ratings. They're just too inaccurate for me.

It should be that all cable companies keep a ratings tally of what all users are actually watching, rather than picking select households to keep a journal.

It is called privacy people don't like being watched. They have introduced a new system which takes into account recorded live viewers

Also you have to remember that only 70% of people have Pay TV so they would never be counted.

1000 viewers in any statistic is enough for good results just because you might think it unbelievable that 400,000 people watch coronation street doesn't mean it doesn't happen. IMO people watch allot of crap. I know I do

Yeah, but there are ways that user data can be compiled anonymously.

Well its not done and you would be hard pressed to get it around Data Protection.

It's just unfortunate because I hate the Neilson ratings system... it's totally flawed and inaccurate.

But sure all statistics are flawed. Do you think the BARB system is any better?

Still can't believe that we still don't have a proper website/page that shows TV ratings daily, just like digitalspy have over in UK.

What's the secrecy of TV ratings, and why aren't they revealed to the public?

I don't think I've seen any ratings for 3e since it started/relaunched 2 years ago.

Thanks Elmo,

Yeah I've been using medialive for years. It's been a great site for ratings over the last 10 years. And TV Now used to have the top 20, but recently have gone back to top 10.

But what comes with top 20 ratings is just soaps and reality TV etc most of the time. I'd love to see what ratings channels get in afternoon, morning and after midnight shows get.

www.medialive.ie

Under monthly ratings, you need to sign up.

Can't believe 1 in 6 people in the country still watch him. People are weird.

I am going to disappoint you even further. The ratings only represent those watching TV at anyone time and 1 in 6 would take into consideration the whole population including those not watching. Not only that but the rating provided by medialive are for adults only, not counting kids watching with parents etc. In reality he has nearly at 50% share of the viewing audience which means 3 in 6 are watching if they are watching the TV.

heres the genre ratings for this season
