This story shows the ratings received for all standard broadcast channels, bbc1 bbc2 itv3 channel4 and channel5.between 8pm and 10.30pm the BBC channels received the highest ratings, whether people were watching heroes or the nature of britain.heores received 600,000 more viewers for the finale than they did for the 9pm episode showing either viewers just turned on the tv for that or they actually switched from other channels in order to watch it. this shows that the BBC had a wide audience that they appeal to whether its to educate, inform or entertain. i personally chose this story because i was one of the 3.3 million people who watched heroes, and i would choose to watch it over all of the other programmes that were on at the same time.
