Ratings watch thread

John Joe Jones

This is a thread to keep an eye on the weekly ratings of irish television.

Elmo

Weekending 3/5/15

RTÉ ONE and 2 seeing continued drops first time the top show for adults on RTÉ2 has dropped below 100,000, Revenge pulling in just 97,000. EastEnders continues to drop on RTÉ One with just 228,000 in 20th place for the channel.

TV3 has seen a bounce with the return of BGT. BGT was placed first with 265,000 adults. Both Red Rock's episodes were up from previous weeks with 121,000 on Wednesday and 115,000 on Thursday, helped in part by Islanders, 121,000 and The People's Debate 124,000. First time showing for TSOCS with 70,000 viewers for Tuesday nights edition, also a first for any show airing during that time slot on the channel. Judge Judy only once in the top twenty with 71,000 viewers.

UTV Ireland's top eleven is covered by Coro St and Emmerdale with 187,000 to 361,000. The other 9 shows got between 50,000 and 114,000 viewers.

The RTE Guide stopped publishing the weekly top 20 ratings a year or two ago. I wonder was this because of how embarrassingly low RTE 2s ratings are now ?

Quite possibly, people only tuning in for live sport (and Home and Away to a far lesser extent) now.

TV Now stopped publishing the Top 10 as well. Maybe it costs a lot to get them off Nielson/TAM.

When did they do this? What was their last top ten like, interesting to compare to the Adult ratings from Medialive to the TV Now ratings.

Someone should publish them like Sunday Times, RTÉ 1, 2, TV3, TG4, UTVIreland and top ten digital shows.

They stopped it about 2 months ago. Disappointing as they've had them in there since issue 1. There was a small difference at times, but shows like All star Family Fortunes would jump from 9th in medialive to 2nd or 3rd in tv now ones. I'll dig out the last ratings they had in there tomo.

Elmo

RTÉ ONE is seeing a drop with TLLS getting 478,000 at the top and The Consumer Show getting 229,000 at number 20. Into summer and Reeling In The Years has been put to repeat with an average of 300,000 viewers. Midweek movie still gets an audience with 258,000 for The Blind Side. With 4 repeats taking up positions on the top 20.

RTÉ2's decline has reversed with Sport Champions League getting 282,000 viewers. Friends getting 47,000 viewers at number 19 with Gotham at 20 getting 46,000 viewers. Really they need Gotham earlier in the year, be interesting to see how Channel 5 does with that show.

TV3 also does well with sports with Champions League coverage getting 205,000 viewers. BGT at the top with 234,000 and BGMT getting 117,000 viewers. VB placed twice with 110,000 and 102,000 viewers. Judge Judy was back with 4 episodes from 58,000 - 75,000 viewers. TSOCS didn't return to the top 20.

UTV Ireland top 11 dedicated to Emmers and Coro Street. Rare Breed and Kevin Dundon's Back to Basic getting on average 100,000 viewers. Everything else dropping below 60,000 viewers, Trevor McDonald unable to keep Doc Martin's audience at 53,000 viewers.

Soaps averages

1. Fair City 320,000
2. Coronation Street 300,000
3. Emmerdale 200,000
4. EastEnders 250,000 (2 eps)
5. Red Rock 90,000
6. Home and Away 90,000 (3 eps)

Adults only. 15+

John Joe Jones

I am shocked that Gotham has been kept on the 9pm slot with such low ratings, In the past RTE 2 has always quickly banished poor rating import shows to an after midnight slot.i

On a similar lack of info, TG4 used to publish their ratings on their website, but haven't updated the page since mid-February! Most usefully, they also carried channel market shares, which doesn't seem to feature regularly on Medialive.

It is suggesting that 4 - 15 year old figures are the difference.

I'd expect Jack Reacher not to be watch by to many kids (or adults for that mater!) adding 16,000 to the figure.

People's Debate adds 6,000 and Xposé just 13,000.

Under 15 audience of 50,000 for Red Rock??? Under 15 matches their ABC1 figures.

Elmo

Irish Times says Dail on the Dole had 48,000 viewers for TV3. Interesting how they used 58,000 viewers for Tervor McDonald.

You'd expect a certain amount of news on this, such was the lead up to the show. I'd say that the audience figures aren't brilliant, hence why we aren't hearing anything about them.

Kind of like TSOCS which had Lucy Kennedy bursting to tell everyone she was moving to prime time, for over 2 weeks before in the media.

That's woeful from UTV after three months on air - they'll probably have excuses about "being ahead of schedule" on some metrics of their languages choosing, but they said on launch day that they wanted 15% share in 12 months, which seems a pipe-dream now. Mind you, looking at the figures, stations seem to be losing more to English channels than cannibalising each other.

The Medialive figures only cover live viewing by age 15+. If you watched a programme on time delay even by just a minute or two, recorded it and watched later or watched it via any other catch up method you would not be included in the Medialive figures. The numbers published in TV Now are the consolidated figures which include all viewing via a tv set up to 7 days after a programme was first broadcast.

Great to see the audience shares.
RTE2 really suffering - a drop of 2%, but it may have been higher last year what with the World Cup happening. They've no such big tournament to help them through this year.
Congrats to both Setanta and TG4 for increasing their share.
TV3's drop is expected, but seeing 3e drop may be concerning as the soaps had no input into 3e's schedule. TV3 still the 2nd most watched channel in Ireland too without the soaps.
Total of UTV has just increased by 3.54% compared to last year. And this is with exclusivity to two major soaps. Bad start for them, and their predictions that had been made before their launch are being hastily changed now.

It is woeful for all TV channels with the exception of TG4, 3e and the +1s.

2014: TV3 + UTV = 14%
April 2015: TV3 + TV3+1 + UTV + UTV Ireland = 14.23

All Irish TV viewers are down, in fairness you can say well April didn't have much on offer but these are percentages not viewing figures. Irish channels only having 43% of the audience is not the fault of the TV viewer but the fault of the TV channels.

I know that Medialive only show 15+ but I assume that it also shows figures for programmes Timeshift viewers since the gap between is any greater than a number of years ago.

The Medialive site specifically states that it is live data. I think they may have included VOSDAL (Viewing On Same Day As Live) figures which would have covered same day timeshift in the past, but now it is just 15+ live as this is the data advertisers mainly want as the ads are obviously more likely to be skipped on timeshift. Shows like Coronation Street can be 350k on the live data but pass 500k once all timeshift and under 15s are included. News and current affairs programmes would gain very little on timeshift and have relatively few child viewers so the consolidated figures for them would show little difference from the live data.

Big Brother has underwhelmed for TV3, with two ratings of 85,000 and 75,000 in the top 20 after week one. Pat Kenny notched 129,000 for his first show and the Sunday Game, unsurprisingly secured over a quarter of a million viewers. Clare Byrne did very well with 346,000 - evidently we haven't tired of SSM debates!

So a week behind for some reason here

Big Brother Adult Ratings 85,000 for Sunday Night at 9pm

TV3 seem to be losing audience towards the end of their Top Twenty with just 63,000 for Judge Judy and 64,000 for Xpose. Strange never see Ireland AM on this list.

Nothing really else different UTV Ireland still unable to pull viewers for other programming outside Coro St and Emmer.

Pat Kenny in the Round Ep 1 had 129,000

The Simpsons replace Home and Away on RTÉ2 but it see the return of sports but again same kind of auidence.

Claire Byrne Live's Ref Debate had 346,000 viewers.

At least Medialive have updated that website!

Elmo

RTÉ ONE is continuing to see drops in audience. Though figures don't include non-live viewing and only 15+. Anyone want to give an estimate has to how many more viewers might be available to TV channels outside figures given on Medialive? 10% - 15% more?

TLLS has 440,000 viewers
while I think a repeat of Ear to the Ground had 207,000 viewer, I am fairly sure its a repeat.
One of the main issue with RTÉ ONEs top twenty and RTÉ ONEs schedule is the huge number of repeats. Mrs Brown's Boys (354,000), Reeling in the Years (307,00), At Your Service (302,000), Room to Improve (274,000), Home Chef (227,000) and I think Ear To the Ground!

RTÉ2 see the return of GAA for the summer with 343,000 viewer watching The Sunday Game Live and 182,000 watching the earlier Live match. 20. 57,000 watched TBBT AFFAIK it was a repeat?

Eurovision 2015
The Final had 318,000 but no Irish Entry (I though it was one of the strongest we've put into the contest).
Ireland and The Eurovision had 309,000 viewers
The 1st semi had 187,000 and the second 261,000 (featured the Irish entry)

Red Rock again saw a bounce up from last week with both episodes getting an average of 110,000 viewers. It's hard to know if The 7 O'Clock show is growing in popularity or if TV3 is lossing viewers, 77,000 tuned in on Tuesday night (certainly up from 70,000 viewer it go when it was last in the top 20) but 61,000 viewers put it at 20th place down for TV3's top twenty.

Big Brother featured twice averaging 63,000 viewers. BGT topped the chart with 176,000 viewers but TV3 will expect this to grow during the final weeks of the show.

None of the Referendum programmes feature in any of the top 20 but this could be due to news.

Coro St and Emmers take up the top 11 programmes on UTV Ireland as normal from 184,000 viewers to 326,000.

Soap awards had 144,000, PK in the Round had 55,000, Pride of Ireland awards 76,000.

Very low for the Eurovision. It's usually a show that is in the Top 20 shows of the year, but as Ireland didn't qualify this year - the interest was less and the ratings showed it.

The Seven O'Clock Show in the ratings twice. Hard to know whether the audience is better between 7-7.30 or 7.30-8. BGT will clog up the ratings next week, so it mightn't show TSOCS's ratings for just a half an hour segment.

Last Week in May

Most programmes are ending their run. TLLS and TSNS getting the top spots on RTÉ ONE, with TLLS having 534,000 viewers. RTÉ ONE's audience while down remains fairly much the same. Even with the BGT finals Fair City has 332,000 on Thursday Night and EastEnders had 313,000 viewers that night. The Repeat of Room to Improve had 217,000 viewers at number 20. Again many repeats.

RTÉ2 is given a bounce with The Sunday Game (271,000) and The Irish Open (239,000). Licence To Kill had 102,000 it followed The Sunday Game. Father Ted still remains popular with 100,000 viewers, but no sign of Friends. Person of Interest has 61,000 at number 20.

TV3's top 20 is largely BGT and BGMT. The Final has 271,000 viewers. On one other show made the top 10 and that was Red Rock with 137,000 viewers, and Wednesday nights episode had 124,000 viewers. Possibly 2 of the highest audience for the show since it began in Jan. Just shows what "a show grabber" can do for Red Rock, its a pity TV3 didn't start airing the show This time last year.

The FA Cup Live had 93,000 viewers, be interesting to see what BBC ONE's audience was for that.

It's like old times on TV3 with 14 of the top 20 shows coming from ITV. Only 5 TV3 programmes made the top 20, the other 3 being Tonight With VB getting 84,000 to 105,000 viewers. No sign of TSOCS.

UTV Ireland's is pretty much the same. I was surprised Coro St did well for the channel at 9pm I assumed TV3 would pick up viewers during the interval of BGT, but Coro St remained pretty much the same with all 5 shows airing Monday to Friday. PK in the Round had 86,000 viewers. Lewis had an average of 90,000 against BGT.

The FA Cup final was a bit of an oddity in that it was simultaneously on four channels, three of which are part of the UPC basic package: TV3, Setanta Ireland, BBC One, and BT Sport 1,

So the disparity between Medialive and TV3's figures are quite big for the final episode

Medialive's +15 live figure puts Red Rock at 106,000, meaning 77,000 are under 15 and watched on TV3+1 almost 50% of the audience.

According to medialive 95,000 adults watched the second last epsidoe on Wednesday night on TV3.

First week without TLLS and TSNS and RTÉ ONE's top twenty drops below 200,000 viewers for the first time, 185,000 for EastEnders (such the nerd that I am that's the kind of audience EastEnders had on TV3!). Fair City took the top 3 spots for RTÉ One. From 293,000 to 371,000 viewers.

RTÉ2 remained much the same with the return of Home and Away. TSGlive had 361,000 viewers. England V Ireland highlight had 119,000 viewers. American Odessy had 97,000 viewers.

TV3 was down a good bit this week. Big Brother was at number 20 with just 66,000 viewers. With The People's Debate having 131,000 viewers. The IFTAs had 91,000. (Goss.ie reported it had 108,000 viewers so 17,000 under 15).

The Cube remains popular for TV3 though it set to go in 2016 with 80,500 for 2 episodes on average.
VB averaged 108,000 for his 2 other episodes.

UTV Ireland same old same old (It's already old!)

PK in the Round had 123,000 viewers (143,000 according to goss.ie or 20,000 children, Westlife is kid friendly I guess).

The Chase at number 20 had 53,000 adults.
