Fear of social spoilers drives live TV viewing, finds survey
TVGuide.com?s Christy Tanner released a new survey at the TVnext Summit today which looks at the age-old question, does social media drive ratings? According to a survey of TVGuide.com users, it does: 17 percent of respondents say they have started to watch a show and 31 percent say they have continued to watch a show because of a social impression. And 71% of TVGuide.com?s respondents say they?ve seen social messages about TV shows.
While those numbers may not be entirely surprising, this metric is interesting: a full 27% of respondents say they watch more live TV to ?to avoid plot and reality spoilers that may be revealed in real time on social networks.? That?s up from 20% two years ago. Twitter has said it?s helping bring back the ?shared experience? of watching TV, which is true both because people want to participate and perhaps even more true for people who want to avoid spoilers in their streams. (For more, see our earlier story, ?When Twitter impacts TV ratings the most.?)
Tanner?s full presentation digs into the reasons why people were influenced by social media to start watching a new show or to continue watching an existing a show. Well worth the look:

Parents grill councillor on school places shortage
A NEW school on the site of Bristol City Football Club's ground could provide the answer for hundreds of parents worried about the shortage of primary school places in the area.
A Bristol councillor said last night that a mixed-used development of the Ashton Gate ground could see a school being built there as well as a supermarket.
The idea was suggested at a public meeting between parents and local council and school representatives at the Tobacco Factory, where parents asked for an update over places for September 2012 and beyond.
Two schools – Ashton Gate and Compass Point primaries – have each provisionally agreed to take an extra reception class next year but at least one more is likely to be needed.
Southville Primary School has said it would like to help and is talking to the council about possible options.
But that only solves the problem for one more year – and parents pressed Bristol's cabinet councillor for children Clare Campion-Smith and the man in charge of planning school places, Ian Bell, for answers on what would happen after that.
They said a new school building – or at least a site for an existing school to have an annexe – was necessary, and may even be needed by 2013. Mr Bell said that about five sites were being considered – and compulsory purchase was not being ruled out.
One parent at the meeting, organised by the South Bristol Schools Campaign, asked if part of the Ashton Gate site could be used for a school. Although there are ongoing legal wrangles over the site for the proposed new Bristol City ground, consent has been given for Sainsbury's to build a store at Ashton Gate. Mrs Campion-Smith said a school there would be an option.
"Up at the Memorial Ground in Horfield, where Sainsbury's want to build a new supermarket, there has been talk of mixed use and a possible school," she said. "It's possible we could also talk that way at Ashton Gate but we also need to be looking at other options."
For this year, Mr Bell said there were 346 applicants, with 330 places – but the council is hopeful that a solution can be found by working with Southville Primary. Demand in Bedminster and Southville is likely to peak in 2015, by which time a new school – or annexe of an existing school – will definitely be needed. However, all the local schools are on cramped sites where redevelopment is difficult. Governors at the primaries say they are keen to help but expansion must not be at the expense of pupils and staff already at the schools.
Last year Southville Primary could only take in pupils who lived less than 200 metres from the school. Its governors have suggested to council officers that replacing two sheds with a two-storey building could provide an extra classroom and storage space but further talks are needed as the school building is Grade II-listed.
Bristol has seen a 20 per cent rise in the number of four-year-olds over the last four years. The council estimates it will need an extra 14 reception classes this September and has been working with schools to increase admissions numbers. It is estimated that at least 3,000 places will be necessary by 2015. Bristol City Council provides weekly updates on school places on its website. All parents who applied for reception class places by the January 15 deadline will receive an offer on April 20.

Blaze damage closes school
A YATE school will be closed on Monday and Tuesday after it was badly damaged by a fire.
The blaze at St Mary's CofE Primary School on Church Road started at about 4.40am yesterday and caused extensive damage to the head teacher's office and smoke damage to the reception classes, ruining work done by four and five-year-olds who started school in September.
A Wendy house was burned down, a shelter badly damaged and many outdoor toys wrecked.
Avon Fire and Rescue service was called to two separate fires on the site, which is close to a fire station, and firefighters were there within four minutes of the 999 call, keeping damage to a minimum by tackling the fire from in and outside the building.
An investigation was taking place yesterday to discover the cause, although arson is suspected.
The school was closed yesterday and will stay shut on Monday and Tuesday.
A statement on the school website read: "We are very sad that all of our outdoor play equipment in the reception area including our Wendy house has gone and the shelter area damaged beyond repair.
"If you have any toys that you are able to donate whilst we wait for the insurance to go through we would really appreciate it."
