Fringe UK Ratings Thread - Sky 1

[D-Roc]

Sky 1’s lastest US drama acquisition Fringe - the new supernatural offering from Lost creator JJ Abrams - got off to a solid start at 9pm last night with 292,000 (1.49%).

The 105-minute opening episode managed to hit a peak of 320,000 (1.73%) at 10pm. A further 79,000 watched the show using Sky’s multistart option, giving the show a total audience of 371,000 (3.38%) in Sky homes.
Fringe managed to outperform most of Sky 1’s nearest entertainment rivals. BBC3’s repeat of Gavin & Stacey amused 260,000 (1.16%) at 9pm, followed by Massive at 9.30pm on just 102,000 (0.47%). E4’s Desperate Housewives at 9pm drew 157,000 (0.71%) with a further 71,000 watching on E4+1.

only just ahead of a repeat of Gavin & Stacey tho...solid, but not great. hopefully word of mouth will kick in.

That may be so, but you have to remember that the average number of households with a digital set that offers them sky1 is considerably less that that of the number of households with freeview.

You're right though. The ratings could be better, and hopefully word of mouth will kick in. I've certainly been doing my part for the show.

Confirmed: my friends from England have been rather disappointed because they don't have Sky1. Hopefully there can be a way for the English to watch like we here in the American can watch them on Fox.com (Fringe is blocked on English networks).

yeh and me. all my friends have been told. unfortunately none of them have Sky haha. im hoping anohter channel will pick it up for a second run, its happened with a lot of not so big US shows recently. Five should get it, then it'll be repeated a million times a week so no excuse for missing it!
