Crafty Channel 4 in the ITV vs. C4 5pm ratings war

This does relate to DOND, by the way...

The Paul O'Grady Show was due to return on 4th September on Channel 4, meaning it would be competing with ITV 1's new Sharon Osbourne Show. However, as is mentioned in another thread, Paul is not back on 4/9, because of recovering from a heart attack.

So, rather than C4 putting DOND on at 4:15, then have the filler programmes Come Dine With Me at 5pm and A Place in the Sun at 5:30pm, they are putting Come Dine With Me at 4:15pm, and DOND at 4:45pm, with A Place in the Sun at 5:30pm. Why? Because at 5pm, people will be in the middle of watching DOND, and so are unlikely to switch over to ITV1! I mean, let's face it, DOND is a bigger ratings winner than Come Dine With Me or A Place in the Sun, and therefore is a good insurance temporary replacement for Paul O'Grady!

A few days ago, I wrote: wrote:

Perhaps ITV News will be renamed "The News, Sport, Weather and Other Stuff Show".

I wasn't far off - it's been renamed The Price Is Right! Actually, that's now on at 12:30pm and the news is at 1:30pm! :lol:

I read somewhere The Price is Right is moving to a prime slot, I think it said on Saturday. Can't remember the source, but seemed pretty genuine.

They never give them enough time, 4 seconds a question is way too quick
