TV Ratings: V (Syfy UK)

Monday 19 April 2010

Syfy UK premiered ABC's remake of V last week, which attracted an audience of 292,000 (then 33,000 on the Syfy+1 channel). The second episode, shown after the first, dropped to 184,000 (34,000 on timeshift.) Overall, this was a decent start for the newly-rebranded Syfy, which has been running V promos for weeks now. It'll be interesting to see if ratings increase in light of Sky's "Free Weekend Pass" event, where Sky3 (available to everyone on Freeview/Virgin), showed a variety of Sky programming to entice viewers to subscribe, and V's pilot was one of those.
