NBC - GOLDEN GLOBES FLOP ON TV

GOLDEN GLOBES FLOP ON TV

Sunday night's (13Oct08) Golden Globe Awards TV coverage was the least watched for over a decade. Only 5.8 million people tuned in to watch the official hourlong results show on NBC, which replaced the cancelled ceremony. The coverage plummeted 71 per cent from last year's (07) figures and it was the least-watched Globes telecast since 1995, when only 3.6 million people tuned into watch the winners and losers from the worlds of TV and film. The Globes ceremony was cancelled earlier this month (Jan08) after striking Hollywood writers refused to give organisers a waiver and threatened to picket the event if it went ahead.
