Oh dear, it looks like Tom, the womble with a grudge, has burned his fingers yet again – it's truly amusing to witness his pointless ramblings.

...better audience data collection and targeted marketing.

Extending "Britain’s Got Talent" (BGT) over three months and securing a new £100m TV deal offers several potential benefits for ITV:

Increased Advertising Revenue

• Higher Viewer Engagement: A longer season means viewers stay engaged longer, leading to more advertising opportunities. More episodes translate to additional ad slots and increased overall revenue.

• Online Market Growth: With over 24 billion views of clips, BGT's strong online presence attracts digital advertisers. Extended content can drive more online traffic and boost digital ad revenues.

Competitive Edge

• Rivaling Strictly Come Dancing: Extending BGT aims to make it a major competitor to BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing," enhancing ITV’s position in the entertainment segment and attracting a larger audience share.

Enhanced Viewer Engagement

• Consistent Viewer Base: Longer seasons maintain viewer engagement over a more extended period, creating consistent weekly viewership and loyalty, which helps sustain and potentially increase overall ratings.

• Higher Ratings: Already impressive ratings could rise with an extended season, attracting more viewers and increasing advertiser and sponsor interest.

Strategic Content Programming

• Flexible Programming: A longer season allows ITV to strategically schedule other shows to maximize network viewership and ratings.

• Seasonal Appeal: Covering more calendar months can capture different seasonal audiences, boosting overall viewership diversity.

Brand Strengthening

• Stronger Brand Presence: Prolonging the season solidifies BGT’s presence on ITV, making it a staple entertainment show for a more extended period each year.

• Increased Merchandising Opportunities: A longer run can lead to more merchandising opportunities, from branded products to tie-in promotions, leveraging the show's popularity.

Talent and Production Value

• Attracting High-Profile Talent: An extended format with higher stakes may attract higher-profile acts and judges, increasing the show’s appeal and prestige.

• Production Investment: The new deal's increased budget can enhance production values, making the show more visually appealing and engaging, thereby attracting more viewers.

Audience Data and Analytics

• Enhanced Data Collection: A longer season provides more data on viewer preferences and behaviors, helping to fine-tune the show and future programming to better meet audience demands.

• Targeted Marketing: Better understanding of the audience can lead to more effective and targeted marketing strategies, both for the show and for advertisers aiming to reach specific demographics.

Overall, extending BGT over three months can significantly benefit ITV by boosting ad revenue, enhancing competitive positioning, increasing viewer engagement, providing strategic programming flexibility, strengthening the brand, attracting talent, improving production values, and enablin

Tom's calling me a female reveals his ongoing misogyny more than it insults anyone, least of all me, not that further proof is needed. Tom really should seek therapy for his condition. Last I checked, all the signs of a full-blooded male were there, but if Tom thinks referring to me as a female will make me feel inferior, he’s mistaken. It just highlights his own unsavory attitude.

Re: The Fortune Hotel.

Following the success of the show by viewers’ reaction on social media, a source has claimed season two could be in the works.

Don't listen to the womble with a grudge - keep your ear to the floor!

Online is where advertisers are now pumping in their money:

As expected on Divi day - but everything is normal.

Feel free to lark with more replies in a separate thread titled RE;RE;RE, RE's if it makes you happy.

GRQJonny,

Madness in the face of coherence 😑

Just for those who don't know, it is possible to reply at the end of the 'thread' for each topic. It's not necessary to open a subject, based on the previous one, with the suffix 'RE'.

After thoroughly searching for any piece of news, I found nothing. Whatever is driving the stock price up is being kept well hidden from the media.

Well, let's hope indeed. It's about time too, hugely undervalued IMO.

...or speaking too soon. A good start this morning - will it hold?

Well done Pogo, nice little incentive. For me the divi will only bag me a modest 5k, as this was not my biggest holding until recently. Not that I'm complaining mind you, as I had a stonking 80k profit on Dark (due to the US proposed buyout) and a further 8k on GSK. Life's good - 'live long and prosper '.

Can't see why advertisers wouldn't want to secure slots.

Tuesday’s episode of The Fortune Hotel was declared the ‘best ever’ by many fans on X – with several even stating it had changed their opinion of the show.

Not a shame, Tom. It's comon sense really - we all should do the same.

Very good, Pogo!

Still smells of b/s.
