Unsurprisingly, the BBC’s coverage of the Rio Olympics dominated August’s top programmes list.

As expected of the quieter summer months, August witnessed a host of revenue declines in the commercial TV market, with one exception.

Following a strong month which played host to the EU Referendum and a number of sporting events, July was a quieter month for commercial TV channels.

The summer of sport continued to dominate the ratings in July, with the football and tennis really pulling in the viewers.

A month of sport and EU Referendum coverage clearly helped boost commercial TV revenues in June – with ITV up by more than a quarter.

Football completely dominated June’s TV schedule, with both ITV and BBC One scoring healthy ratings for the Euro 2016 football tournament held in France.

After a tough April for commercial terrestrial channels, May witnessed a much stronger performance.

There was no avoiding the scores of programmes dedicated to our monarch’s birthday, with The Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration on ITV proving to be most popular in May.

April was a tough month for the terrestrial channels, who all saw revenue fall compared to last year.

After a rather static February, March was a solid month for commercial terrestrial channels – all were up, with some substantially.
