I rest my case..

After blogging yesterday about linear TV's limitations:

Excerpt from today's Broadcast Magazine:

"Ratings rise as Snow falls"

"The adverse weather conditions had a strong impact on television viewing yesterday as audience levels were up by over a third across the day.
With heavy snow fall across England causing severe disruption to the transport network many people decided to take the day off work – estimated at a fifth of the work force, around 6.5m people - and clearly opted to sit in front of the television.
According to figures from media research company Attentional, overall TV viewing across all channels yesterday was up by 36.2% with an average audience of 9.4m across the day. This compares with an audience of 6.9m on a Monday across February last year."

A third more potential people for advertisers then. All missed.

Now I never thought of it that way. You have to take the positive from any situation. Personally I always enjoyed Trisha - but she's being axed.
