ITV Programming Thread

I've noticed on ITV 3 they have re-started showing Heartbeat from the beginning but on the end credits they still have 2006 copyright on them.

Seems to be a bit of a change in strategy next week on ITV2 daytime with the lunchtime block of quiz show repeats out, filled by ITV2 style shows moving forward along with Ellen. Then from 3pm it's reruns of Hart of Dixie, One Tree Hill and The OC - probably with the latter two at least bang on target for the sort of age group actually watching ITV2 now when it comes to retro teen drama of the early to mid noughties.

Seems to be shows acquired from the deal with WarnerMedia International that they mentioned in the ITVX press release.

They are also getting morning repeats. I don't see them doing very well, but ITV2 seems to have lost its identity really.

Yes. One Tree Hill now gone from All4 but The OC still there for now.

Is it just me or is Roman Kemp, Marvin Humes and Emma Bunton quite a random host line up for the Concert for Ukraine?

I presume it’s something to do with Global (Radio) being a broadcast partner. As they’re all on air for Capital/Heart.

As I understand it all the crew and the facilities company (Timeline) are working for free on tonight’s Concert for Ukraine.

Ah that makes a lot of sense, thanks.

The ad breaks also have bumpers saying that all the revenue from the ads tonight is donated to the DEC appeal. According to ITV News this is ≈£3m.

[Brekkie]

Interesting that with ITV donating all tonight's ad revenue we're getting a figure of £3m for two hours of primetime on a Tuesday night, though I suspect with higher rates than a standard Tuesday and perhaps advertisers convinced to pay a bit of a premium with it going to charity too.

I imagine they're paying full rate card whereas normally rates would be discounted.

The concert is actually very well put together. While usually well intended, these sort of events can be a bit tedious in practice but this has such a slick production and Emma, Roman and Marvin have been a strong hosting team.

[Brekkie]

Agree it's been very watchable. Wise move to partner up with Global.

[Brekkie]

£11.3m raised including advertising and ticket sales, suggesting around £8m raised through viewer donations.

[DeMarkay]

Very proud of Emma, Marvin, Roman and of course Global. Well done to ITV and Livewire Pictures too.

[Brekkie]

Actually had Roman Kemp in mind as a potential new host of the revival of Pop Idol. Tonight proved he'd be more than capable.
