Does anybody know where I can find the average viewing figures for Sunrise? Many thanks..


The best I could find was http://www.barb.co.uk/report/weeklyTopProgrammes/?

Select the channel from the left hand side menu, then pick the month and week to see average viewing ratings for each programme.

It is - it's what drives virtually every decision made at Sky News, and all other news channels & broadcasters.

I wouldn't say that. But I think that many viewers would be pleased with those graphics but on the other hand won't refrain from watching skynews when they don't use them. And indeed since one year skynews is totally destroying its great reputation of having a nice onscreen presentation. Very sad!

A year goes so quickly these days, it felt like only last week when people were saying this about Sky News's graphics:

They look superb on the HD channel, really really slick.

Live at five with Jeremy posted:
Absolutely love the new business graphics... The graphics are as good as the content which is really good. All round top marks for sky here.

Critique posted:
If that image linked above is for HD only, then Sky really do have an excellent reason for people to get HD, for Business coverage alone. It looks superb.

Jasper posted:
From what I've seen... the new graphics look very good.

Concerning the BUSINESS update ,yes. But isn't it rather a contradictory move to axe important graphics and on the other hand set up new ones for the business update?
