You can Google how many goals a player has scored in the last few seasons, or against this particular side, but our job is to point the viewers to something that is happening in the game that they may not have seen or thought of.
Life goes on, and I’m moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.
My stupid ambition is to make a film that’s not like any other – one that has its own kind of logic and hooks viewers without making them think too much. It’s a film I’d love to see, one in which after 10 minutes the audience isn’t able to predict the whole thing.
I never want to feel more than the viewers. I’m not trying to be an automaton. It’s like when you see people laughing on camera, and you don’t find it funny as a viewer – it’s an offputting experience.
Steve Irwin did wonderful conservation work but I was uncomfortable about some of his stunts. Even if animals aren’t aware that you are not treating them with respect, the viewers are.

Viewers are used to seeing us at our sternest and most serious on ‘The Chase,’ so it might be a bit of a shock when we let our hair down.
There’s a lot of politics in television and a lot of in-fighting and all that sort of stuff, but in the end, we are purveyors of entertainment. Viewers are not really bogged down in who’s doing what and who hates who and who’s doing best in the ratings. They watch television to be entertained.
It frustrates me that Britain can’t make something like ‘CSI’ or ‘The Sopranos’. Instead, British TV puts soap in primetime while every other civilized nation leaves it in daytime. Viewers should be more demanding.
Shouting on TV feels like it almost gives viewers licence to do it in real life.
We’ve had a series of major news stories that have brought in viewers who either were sampling to see what else was available or were normal news watchers. The Florida recount and the end of the election was a huge development. And then 9/11 came along.
I think when you’re a TV presenter, you have to have a reason for doing it, and a lot of them have been around a long time and grafted for that. The reason why it works with me on ‘The Xtra Factor’ is because I was a contestant on it, and I have a relationship with the viewers at home.
With a first season, you never really know how viewers or the network are going to react to a show.
As an artist, we have a big influence, and we should always think if we are doing more harm than good to our viewers. We should serve as a model to them.

When I have something to say or share with my viewers, I turn to my blog, and even then, I make it clear that it is my take on certain events.
I try not to repeat a story. I try not to repeat an emotion. I want it to be all sort of new for the viewers and to challenge myself as a writer, so there’s always pressure. What else can you come up with?
You want to put out good vibes for the viewers, even if so many stories that have to be told and that need to be told have a lot of darkness in them, because the world has a lot of darkness in it.
We had more viewers on the broadcast network than we did on the cable channel.
I’ve always tried to be as open as possible, and I just hope that viewers can appreciate that.
Everybody loves good humour and in movies, we are in search of things that make viewers laugh.
A TV show has to be a certain length and, you know, you have expectations from the viewers. You know, you want to see the characters again, or you want to see certain dynamics between the characters or certain kinds of storylines. And you kind of figure out how to best fit what you want to say into that format.
After ‘Dor,’ viewers showed the confidence that I could play serious roles too and so I was offered roles in films like ‘Eight By Ten’ and ‘Wanted’ and many other big movies.
In the United States, viewers don’t get to see a lot of things we can show in other countries. We didn’t get to show our naked Twister game from Wild On Jamaica, but we definitely filmed it.
There’s nothing worse than putting two similar shows back-to-back. Viewers don’t want to watch one show and then sit through another half-hour of almost the same thing.
I really focus on giving the viewers compelling television, and hope that more and more people watch.
Times are changing, and it’s catching on that the roles on TV and film need to reflect its diverse viewers.

I enjoy things that are relevant to me, like maths and science and ‘Countdown,’ and I don’t want to offend our viewers.
It’s not that I won’t do any horror movie. The script has to be good and also the execution has to be perfect to attract the viewers.
Our viewers are loyal. They’ve seen Pat and me together for 30 years. It’s like Ken and Barbie. How do you break them up?
Viewers make online requests to their favorite video-making whisperers to do the things that trigger their head tingles. Everyone’s needs are different. It’s like an interactive choose-your-own-adventure.
I really have to say ‘thank you’ to our fans, because I think it’s difficult for European viewers to find and watch Asian movies, and I hope you enjoy our films.
Usually viewers are attached to a character or that character’s personality. But, in my case, I have been exceptionally lucky as I have been accepted as Shweta.
Pay-per-views bring conclusion to storylines and what has been going on from television. It is important to give viewers satisfactory pay off over storylines and that is why pay-per-views are important.
The combination of cheaper and more widespread broadband and increased mobile usage is turning us all into independent viewers.
I want to be honest about my faith, but not preachy, for my viewers and my readers.
The U.K. has been very progressive about on-demand, and the iPlayer has been a great invention. It has trained a generation of viewers to expect on-demand – unfortunately, it trains them to expect free!
I’m a comedian, for God’s sake. Viewers shouldn’t trust me. And you know what? They’re hip enough to know they shouldn’t trust me. I’m just doing stand-up comedy.
I think my viewers want smart, honest programming. They don’t want to be told what makes them feel good.

I do not make movies to send any message, but my treatment makes my viewers think on the subject.
With anything, and especially with the pallet of viewers in watching anything on TV and film, you have to entertain them.
I’ve taken my cue from people here and from viewers, especially survivors-who said, ‘When it’s time to literally flip your wig, you’ll know.’
We’re journalists, so our default position is we’re not writing editorial. We’re trying to bring information to readers, viewers, so that they can make up their own conclusions.
When you’ve got people taking opposite positions just to create a debate, viewers can see through it.
Having been a football player, most viewers associated me with just that. It was tough to go from football to basketball, but what really helped was that my show, ‘Inside Stuff’, was personality driven.
I think once you do the unexpected, and you take the viewers to a position of discomfort about being able to rely on characters surviving, then it does completely affect the way in which the drama is viewed.
Make content that makes you happy. Do whatever you want. Don’t run after expensive things. Good content and subject will get you viewers.
Fifty one per cent of ‘Time Team’ viewers are not of my gender. And that surprised me, because I thought it’d be at least 60 per cent male.
The written tone and the spoken tone change and the reporters’ disbelief in the veracity of the government spreads to the readers and the viewers.
Actors have to entertain viewers, be it on TV or in movies.
I’m very excited to be joining the ‘Gadget Show’ family. I’m always keen to try out new gadgets, so it’s going to be brilliant to be able to get my hands on the latest models and test them on behalf of the viewers.
Ultimately, criticism that ‘The Real World’ has devolved into a lesser enterprise comes from the viewers who came of age alongside it, not the teens of the moment that MTV has always existed for.
It is easy to be a hero in films as even a weak person can fight with any number of goons and get applauses from viewers.
The OTT experience has been outstanding because you instantly reach out to millions of viewers as compared to a movie, though movies have a charm that is unmatched.
