TV Tonight turns 8!

35,000 posts later the 'go-to' site is still going strong, thanks to you.

2015-01-03_1516

Today marks 8 years since TV Tonight launched as a humble blog on the interwebs!

There are now more than 35,000 published posts and over 350,000 comments, 128,000 registered users, and over 14,000 Twitter followers.

Last year the site hit 550,000 Unique Visitors and 2 million page views per month.

In the last 12 months the site also introduced the weekly Newsletter (with added ‘behind the scenes’ content) now at 2,280 subscribers and continued to break stories and scoops that have made it the “go-to” site for industry and public alike. The site’s National Living TV Treasures list was one of several stories that made it onto television itself.

This year I can promise more developments …a little more on this is just around the corner.

The last 12 months was another big year in interviews, including several international names such as James Nesbitt, Ricky Martin, Beau Willimon, Paula Abdul, Lucy Lawless, Grant Show and The Inbetweeners. There were even a few personal heroes in the mix this year….

But it’s thanks to you that the site has lasted for 8 years. Your staying power is fantastic, and it’s what keeps the industry taking notice. They may not always love your comments, but as we saw last year, fans can affect change. The one thing we are all agreed on is passion for the small screen.

So as I look to 2015 and another year of blogging, here’s a list of the talent, creatives and execs who spoke to TV Tonight last year.

cheers!
