I don’t think Rinder does all that well as it is (I think I saw it rates less than Kyle), so using that as a replacement also creates problems. Showing it twice a day would over expose it, whilst moving it to 9:25 means they would need a replacement at 2.
But these are hardly insurmountable problems, that's part and parcel of running a TV schedule. Obviously if one show has to be dropped very suddenly, whether temporarily or permanently, then you need to find a quick replacement and move some stuff around, but that's how it goes. Yes, if they move Judge Rinder to 9.25 they won't be able to show it at two, but that's why they keep on commissioning new shows. It's the whole point of scheduling. Otherwise you're suggesting all programmes should stay on forever because it's too hard to find a replacement.
There's a virtually identical scenario when Kilroy had to, cough, "go away" very quickly (in different circumstances, obviously) and the BBC1 daytime schedule looked a bit ragged for a few months, but it certainly worked in the long run - the ratings in that slot went up and it was a bit of a polarising brand and hard to manage so they were probably better off without it. And of course it freed up a bit of money to do some other stuff instead.
If true, it’s a total disgrace to the UK TV industry ( which according to all the gushing speeches at the BAFTA do on Sunday) is the envy of the world.
It’s a race to the bottom now
This is a bit of an overreaction, you can't use the failings at Kyle as a stick to beat the entire TV industry. It's like how you can't use the failings of a cowboy builder to write off the entire construction industry. I don't think Kyle's show was particularly popular in the industry and it's certainly a world away from other genres and programmes.
A similar incident to this was The Late Late Breakfast Show and when they did the inquest into the death on that show it was alleged that the stunts were very poorly organised and certainly looking at it now a lot of it appears to be very dangerous and a bit dodgy. That was thirty years ago and it seems that there were quite a few cowboy operations in telly those days, not so much these days.
And as mentioned, it seems that despite worries that telly was going to get increasingly mean-spirited and the audience would be baying like a pack of wolves, if anything the audience seems to be more conservative than ever before and are so quick to complain if they don't like it. As has been said, people seem to be turned off by nasty shows and The X Factor and the like are flagging, and certainly the vast majority of the audience couldn't bear the Kyle show.
