PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

Friday March 24th figures, the week after Tubridy announced he was leaving the show.

Friday night’s Late Late Show was watched by an average of 390,000 on RTÉ One and RTÉ One+1.

Friday September 29th, 2 weeks after Kielty's debut

The decline slowed but continued into his third show as Late Late Show host, as 486,000 people tuned in on Friday night.

Last time I checked 486,000 was a bigger number than 390,000

Might put the humble pie on hold for now.

Yeah when you put it plainly like that in black and white it really brings it home just how low TLLS has got

TAM Ireland are the group they are chaired by the broadcasters and use the Neilsen Ratings System.

1000 Households are chosen at random to compile daily estimates on what they are watching. This are process by Neilsen issued to the broadcasters.

1000 is enough for any type of research but ... I would argue to be robust you'd need 1000 in each province, 4000 altogether and then with in that breaking it down into 1000 urban, 1000 rural, 1000 suburban, 1000 small towns. Then with in them 1000 families, 1000 single people, 1000 people sharing, 1000 pensioners. and with in that 1000 children, 1000 15 to 25, 1000 25 - 45, 1000 45 - 65, 1000 65+

They you'd have a good over view across demographics, age, dwelling and so on. with just 4000 people

There should be an option to request a free delivery of a stetson hat for added atmosphere while watching this special ... RTE must have a few thousands of them knocking around from a previous barter swap involving Dallas TV rights.

The one that left is one of the two women who came up with toy show the musical.

Like it or not but Irish country music is very popular outside of Dublin. It would not surprise me if there will be a rise in audience figures for the country special. I respect your opinion but your statement about the people of Monaghan and Tyrone is not very respectful. Is it the people from those two counties or country music in general you do not like? If it's the people I suggest you keep the above comments to yourself. 😡 By the way what's wrong with driving a lorry?

It is very popular especially up the North. As I said in my previous post it is more popular outside Dublin and with the younger generation. I have been to see many of the country music artists who normally appear on the special and I have to say for the price of a ticket which I might say is very reasonable between twenty five and thirty euro for about two sometimes three hours with a fifteen minute break.
