Topic History of: Sounds like a BBC Friday Night fuckup

Andy	Overnight ratings for Sounds Like Friday Night have fallen to 1.32m - that's only 8.5% of the viewing audience, and it looks like it's not getting a much higher percentatge of the 16-34 demographic they are aiming at. Having said that The Vaccines were not bad last night (though a little derivative), and Nile Rogers would have been excellent if we had got more than a minute. Shawn Mendes could barely be heard as the audience singing along were mixed higher than his vocals. I'm not sure how they can justify Dotty's trips around the world to conduct 5 minute long interviews.

Why can't BBC just learn from the American Show ' Midnight Special'? Rock/metal is not dead yet. Anyone heard the new Styx album ?

JK2006	I was hoping this series would be better; it isn't. Sadly the problem is - they book names, not good music. Almost every artiste tonight has made a good or even great track but the Producers allow them to do the new release (invariably awful). If they made Mehgan Trainer do "all about the base" (no treble) - super. Combined with great new current releases by unknown artistes with a future mass appeal hit. Add bits like United DJs have such as "the story behind the hit song". So simple. 20 mins of crossover smashes with ten minutes of witty, funny or interesting moments. Ratings. Success. I did it in the 80s with Entertainment USA and No Limits.
Andy	In spite of poor reviews and appalling ratings, the BBC have brought this back for another try. It will be interesting to see if they have learned anything from what they did badly last time.
