Still to come alive

Article Abstract:

Channel 5 has gained a 2.7% share of all television viewing in the UK since it began broadcasting on Mar 30, 1997. Research indicates that in an average week just under one-third of Britons watch at least one Channel 5 programme. It is more successful during peak viewing periods than during the day, with the Saturday morning double edition of 'Beverly Hills 90210' being the only programme shown before 5pm which attracts at least 200,000 viewers. Viewer numbers have varied dramatically, as has viewing in different regions.
