More than 20 million British viewers tuned in to the World Cup final, with the BBC drawing more viewers than ITV. On BBC1, viewers watching Spain's clash with the Netherlands peaked at 17.9 million, with a 60% share of the audience, figures show. On ITV, which was also showing the final, figures peaked at 3.8 million, a 13% share of the audience. Spain scored four minutes before the end of extra time to win 1-0. FlashForward has also been axed as the networks announce their new line-ups for the autumn season. Heroes, which ran for four series, was ditched after its initially buoyant ratings slumped. The Law and Order name will continue to exist, with a new Los Angeles-based spin-off announced as one of NBC's fresh commissions. |
