ITV2

As has constantly been pointed out, if the selection is truly random then it's not strange that they didn't pop up for a few days!

What post is being moaned at? If it's the latest one, It has no mention of the idents what so ever. It does highlight the rest of the bromans break bumpers which have gone under the rador etc.

Strange i'm been moaned at for something from yesterday, or two days later since this is now another day. I get the feeling people are not reading what I postaged and were just jumping the gun....

When you're talking to yourself you have to ask if the thread is worth posting. Updates to TV Live can be posted in the website section.

I think you need to remember the difference between a presentation website and a forum - one is for documenting presentation and the other is for generating discussion and I don't think this thread especially has encouraged any discussion.

Very first post was to highlight new break bumpers, which should as you say generating discussion. But it didn;t, must need to be awful BBC oneness sting to do so Let's be fair here there in the same league of people just looking into the screen, with added sexyness.

I also highlighted the strangeness in the generator of the idents, which was pointed out was a coincidence. Since early last week I have only ever seen the 5 newer pics appear once on the ident, Surely that would have worth a discussion even of how this generator works or it it remember what's been used before.

What is the point in a thread? If documenting presentation is not point of presentation forum, then BBC one Thread should just be locked up now.

I cant blame for the lack of discussion if the presentation doesn't make people want to talk about it. You need to Document the pres to get the discussion...... Its been clearly been highlighted last week you can just start a thread to discuss something without backing it up with something.

To answer you first Q: Yes it is, it may sometimes not be worthy of a response but it at least tell people what going on.

Yes, should have said whether it is worth continuing to post in rather than posting itself. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge nobody is interested and move on.

Anyway, at the risk of talking about the programming rather than the presentation I hope Timewasters did well for them. Certainly a better effort than Bad Move on the main channel.

Over the course of the past couple of weeks I've seen what ITV2 has to offer and its dire, its like its content is spread out to thinly. What happen to it? It shouldn't be repeating it content that often, especially its films. What does ITV2 stand for nowadays anyways?
For being ITV second channel it really needs to start punching a punch its weight not being a dumping ground for US amination shows, Ellen and repeats of JK. Its like its become like BBC3 again, it's supposed to be for the youth vote since ITV Be come alone but content for them is because less frequent.

I did watch Timewaster, I found it to be full of cheap gags and dire overall. It should have been alot better.

Each to their own, but I found Timewasters quite amusing. BBC3 moving off linear and onto online has opened up the playing field for the 16-34s. ITV2 seems to be making an effort in commissioning new shows for the demo. Bromans is absolute **** though.

Bromans is rather popular with the demographic its ticks all the right boxes for them I;ve notice the limited amount of ITV2 commissions stuff like that dating show at 6pm but i wonder how many viewers are getting pulled in for YBF.

Agree - it can be a bit feast or famine with ITV2 but Timewasters is probably the best comedy ITV have commissioned this year and they've got Release the Hounds back tomorrow, Ghosted looks promising and they're hardly a "dumping ground" for US animation - they've got arguably the premium products in that genre at the moment and are using them effectively.

ITVBe on the other hand I just don't get - not so much the crap content that litters the channel but the fact that ITV itself seems to spend more time advertising ITVBe programmes than content on ITV itself.

Not what the ratings are saying.

At least you're acknowledge there feast or famine

There just dumped new episodes of American dad back an hour to 10.35, one has to ask why that has happened? On there TV guide it's not even listed as new. Mind you why has ITV2 taken well over 18 months to get those TBS episodes?



Twitter seems to like it, Of course how many people are using catch up service to get it? I have seen ITV2 push hard on the catch up players services.
I think that were alot of young viewers may will end up be? BBC3 could have actually be ahead of the game on some issues.

ITV2 probably push on-demand more because that target market, 16-34 is more likely to be using it or know about it, plus I dare say its probably more of a reliable way to track exactly what's being watched and when its being watched as opposed to tracking viewers through the traditional BARB system. BBC iPlayer for example reported an episode of Peter Kay's Car Share racked up 2.4m viewers on the BBC iPlayer alone excluding Virgin/Sky requests. Add in requests from Sky and Virgin and whatever else, that's probably another quarter of a million catch-up views for that show.
