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.

England’s success in the 6 Nations rugby championship, the finale of The Night Manager and yet another royal documentary were among March’s most popular shows.

February was a relatively static month for commercial terrestrial channels; however, total satellite revenue was up 17.1%.

February saw big ratings for 6 Nations rugby, the Brit Awards, spy drama The Night Manager and cop show Happy Valley.

January was a good month for commercial broadcasters, with no declines recorded across the board.

Another adaptation of Tolstoy’s War and Peace was a hit for the BBC in January, with Sherlock and Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur also doing well.

Unsurprisingly, the December TV chart was dominated by a raft of seasonal specials, including Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife and Doctor Who.

The festive period was good to the majority of commercial broadcasters, with C4 and ITV 1 reporting solid revenue increases.

Strictly, Adele and celebrity jungle action were among some of the best performing programmes in November.
