Tipp V Cork had 329,000, Mayo V Sligo had 244,000, Monaghan v Fermanagh had 114,000 for live play. Cool Runnings with the top programme with 98,000 viewers, Home and Away ranged from 50 to 70 thousand viewers. With the movie Taking of Pelham 123 getting 49,000 viewers. TV3 was a mixed bag. Coro St had a range of 238,000 to 277,000 viewers with Mondays Xpose getting 112,000. Red Rock was down to 122,000 viewers. 18, 19 and 20 postions all dropping below 100,000 viewers. It will be interesting to see if RTÉ2 and TV3 can both see increases in audiences for May considering 2 weekends of GAA coverage and the start of BGT finals next week.

BGT talent reached about 200,000 this Saturday, finals begin this week a good sign. Red Rock has just 136,000 viewers up from previous weeks but we probably won't see it in the top 20 next due to BGT. Tonight with VB doing well this week with 100,000 viewers. Xpose edition between Emmers had 99,000 viewers.

I give it until the end of August, after that I think it will either be cancelled or rebranded. Magazine axed, popular presenters left, competitions dropped, down to three presenters, split between two stations... It's lucky to be on air.
iseegirls wrote: » Few changes coming up over the weekend. The final of BGT has been moved to Saturday evening due to the Machester Concert being shown on BBC on Sunday. That means the Soap Awards, which were going to be broadcast for the first time live on Saturday, will now be shown on Tuesday night on ITV. This affects TV3's schedule slightly. Plus the BGT final is up against the CL final on RTE2 which may affect ratings.
