Today is Countdowns 21st birthday, however celebrations have been blighted by the fact that the programme has lost 25% of its viewers since Channel 4 rescheduled the show to 3.15pm.
It would be interesting to see how Countdown's replacement is performing in it's old slot, but no doubt C4 will be bloody minded and not move it back regardless. Carol Vorderman has said that they've had quite a lot of letters of complaint and that year on year, Countdown had raised viewing figures for the old slot by 54%, which only further demonstrates how ridiculous a decision this was.
Apparently Carol & Dickie are about to sign contracts up to 2006, but would like to carry on beyond that.
With Channel 4, seemingly losing interest in the show, don't you think ITV ought to make a pitch for it. I'm sure it would perform very well in the problematic 5pm slot.
