It looks like people are getting used to turning off Xpose with a slight bounce for Coro St, indeed 7 of the top shows go to TV3 but RTÉ ONE is way down following the departure of Room To Improve and DWTS. EastEnders on Monday night saw an increase its been out of the top twenty for a while, it will be interesting to see if Friday night eps starts appearing.

While Coro St might be slightly up, there other shows are slightly down, Red Rock was up from last week to 125,000 viewers lower than in previous months. Meanwhile VB Tonight returns to the top 20 with 93,000 viewers along with typical TV3/ITV crime docs Madeline McCann: 10 Years Missing and Trump V Ireland.

BGT was up again this week with 174,000 viewers and as it comes into the final it will see big increases for TV3.

Over on 2, Racing From Punchestown had a range of 73,000 to 117,000 viewers, making up 5 of their top twenty.

Home and Away ranged from 51,000 to 63,000 viewers with just 2 outings, not sure if it was off for some of the week due to racing.

Constructed Factual programme Body Shopping had 84,000 viewers perhaps showing audiences lack of enthusiasm for the same old RTÉ2 constructed factual programme which are all out on their own.

number 20 The Truth About Your Medicine Cabinet had 50,000 viewers.

Funny the Home and Away specials did well for them at 7pm

Piece in the Evening Herald (or it called that anymore) that Red Rock will be doing a 4th series. Although unsure regarding whether that's reliant on funding from the licence fee.

Must say that it has gone very gruesome, violent and the language has been turned up a lot since series 3 started. Good I guess, but unsure how BBC will take it if they continue to show the series. It's really unsuitable for daytime at the moment now anyway.

I'd question that, series 3 will finish up for the summer with remaining eps air sept to Dec, that's only 20 to 30 eps of season 3 of which there are 40!

11 films out of top 20 shown for 3e. No sign of Xpose, Pointless, Bondi Rescue, Judge Rinder - so pretty much 6pm-9pm is averaging under 26,000 which is poor.

BBC 2 are showing Red Rock again every afternoon (15.50 today).

Good spot. Showing four 20minute episodes too a day. If they continue to show the speed of repeats on BBC2, could lead to newer episodes shown in July on BBC1 possibly?

the summer dent for RTÉ ONE helps TV3 getting up the list of the top 30 shows, with just 190,000 viewers tuning to EastEnders (monday night).

Bodyshopping had 83,000 viewers, while 41,000 tuned into The Millionaire Party Planner on Sunday, the kind of figures you'd expect from 3e or be3. with no sign of neighbours.

BGT continues to increase with 189,000 viewers, with Red Rock seeing a small increase to 120,000 viewers on Monday night. Xpose returned to the top 20 with 101,000 viewer at 20 but Coro St ranged from 229k to 280k which on any other week would see TV3 outside the top 20.

Wonder how low the Eurovision figures will be this year ? Below 300k perhaps ?

RTÉ will be disappointed not to be at the final of the Eurovision particularly when the dropped Fair City for the week.

Don't know why they dropped FC for the first semi final (the one without Ireland) it always rates poorly

I don' really understand why they didn't move the 2 semis to RTÉ ONE is retain RTÉ ONE's audience and to move EastEnders to RTÉ2.

Fair City took a break and they came up with the excuse of Eurovision and Champions League.

Even that seems optimistic without Irish involvement - I'd say 200-250k.

Ouch - Eurovision final fifth on the RTE One charts, with 273k, literally the same as the Madrid derby on Tuesday, and even Ireland's semi only recorded the same figure. Very strong debut for Redwater, on 413k, but given the mauling it seems to have got, will that hold up?
