X Factor 2008: Simon Cowell And ITV Clash Over Sunday Results Show

June 7th, 2008 by Lisa McGarry. Tags: ,

Simon Cowell and ITV are locking horns as we speak about the all new X Factor Sunday night results show.

Simon wants the show to go out live on the Sunday night, while ITV want to save themselves £500,000 per week by pre-recording it after the main show on Saturday night.

A show insider told The Sun: “We can see it from both sides. Of course, it’s going to look better live. With the X Factor, anything can happen — that’s the beauty of the show.

“The rumour is now that it will either go live on Sundays or stay as a Saturday show.”

    I Agree With Simon.
    The Show Will Be Much Better If It IS Filmed
    Live!

    If Simon is contemplating a Sunday night show instead of a Saturaday night show is it possible the show is losing in popularity and he has though of a way to reduce costs in the process.

    Logistically if you haven’t got the viewers and can’t turn out a mega selling star why spend the money. Economise seems like a good idea, no sense in throwing money away even if you have got plenty.

    The money saved could go into a community music pot for a choir or gospel group.
