30 ways to save itv - number 1...

Welcome to the first chapter of 30 ways to save itv. An occasional series where events transpire to give itv a serious advantage in the battle for viewers or revenue.

Number 1: If you don't want to know what's happening on itv soon, don't read this spoiler (The Sun have spoilt it already, but seriously if you don't want to know, don't read)...

Get some decent announcers back on ITV 1 .Maggie Mash is missed here in Border land .Also the women who has the deep husky voice who does the ITV promos now i like her.I think she is on Channel 5 too.

That would be Trish Bertram. Even though the current announcers have been in use for around four years now, they still haven't made a lasting impression on me yet - they're nothing compared to their predecessors.

I can't see what that Spoiler has to do with saving ITV?

I suppose the lucky contestants aren't allowed to request the win be kept a surprise?

Am I missing something?

His name's Ingram!

What a coincidence.

I agree. And to think viewers in Wales lost their announcers 8 months ago to be replaced by them.

I think the point the original poster is attempting to make is that the spoilered event will undoubtedly draw a large audience for ITV1 by virtue of being flagged in every newspaper going just before it's shown.

As for the contestant requesting no spoilers- even if the producers didn't reveal this info (they obviously deliberately leak it), those watching the live recording will undoubtedly blab.

I dont see how this will get a huge audience, its not as if this hasnt happened before. It might get an audience higher than normal but not huge.

Why couldn't there have been a straight '5th Millionaire winner' thread, rather than this bizzare one?

I guarantee, someone else will post a thread about Millionaire within the next week because they can't find a current one, and in this case I'm not surprised they won't be able to find one
