BBC recommissions The Voice
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 29 May 2013
The BBC’s ‘X-Factor’ rival ‘The Voice’ will return for a third series next year, the broadcaster has announced. The second series is currently airing on BBC One on Saturday nights, and is apparently pulling in around 8.5 million viewers for each episode. So that’s nice.
Controller of Entertainment Commissioning Mark Linsey said: “‘The Voice’ has been a huge success for BBC One. Finding a Saturday night break-out hit is incredibly difficult, but this show hit the ground running and it’s fantastic to ensure its future on the channel”.
Meanwhile Moira Ross, Head Of Entertainment at Wall To Wall, the company which produces the show for the Beeb, and the show’s executive producer, added: “‘The Voice’ is a global format phenomenon and it’s been an extraordinary ride crafting it into a much watched and loved show for BBC One audiences. I’m thrilled to be continuing that journey”.
