Cricket Ratings

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I'm talking about as a sport. I could care less about ratings.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Smh online reporting the opening game of the Big Bash rated 858,000. Isn't that like double the highest NRL game?

It was the 4th highest programme ever on pay TV, the other 3 are Yawnion games.

Really? :shock:

I am assuming they would be World Cup games then.

I wouldn't read too much into the ratings of the candy cricket over the weekend. It was the opening round and Warnie's botox is only going to get less interesting to people as time goes by. Chalking it up to novelty factor at this point.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

So where did the other 500k viewers the SMH are reporting go/come from? :? How can you get it so wrong?

It was the 4th highest programme ever on pay TV, the other 3 are Yawnion games.

It takes a Yawnion final in something to even rate :lol:

How does the 488k and 342k stack up against the NRL games this year on Fox?

One is 'average audience', the other is 'reach' (around).

maybe they were thinking of reach?

The marquee match of the opening round of the BBL, the game between Warner's Sydney Thunder and the Shane Warne-enriched Melbourne Stars, drew an average of 488,000 Foxtel viewers, with an overall reach of 900,000 viewers, easily the highest numbers posted for the domestic T20 competition.

They broke the 342,000 average and 858,000 reach, which measures how many viewers tune in for at least 60 seconds, set the previous night in Sydney in the Brisbane Heat-Sydney Sixers match. Before that, the biggest television audience for T20 cricket in this country was the 316,000 mark recorded in the 2009-10 Big Bash final.

reach is a bit of a bs number when you only have to watch for 1 minute to be counted

 

[Timbo]

So you only need to watch for 60 seconds of a 3 hour match to be counted?

Right.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Over 1.3m metropolitan viewers for Boxing Day.

So how is the BBL rating after the first week? Is it maintaining those solid numbers or falling back?

Going well actually.

The Test Cricket coverage is giving 9 a huge leg up over 7 too.

Not sure whether I am reading it right but it definitely looks like a downward trend. Week 52 was averaging over 300k but week 53 was averaging about 250k.

Sixers v Stars is probably disappointing.

Strikers v Hurricanes represent two small States so the interest is less.

Scorchers game started at 9pm in the Eastern States and went till after Midnight...Most of the kids who watch the Big Bash would have been in bed for most of the game.

They should throw in the radio ratings too. As has been stated alot of people are at work while it's on. I being one of them so the radio has been the only way I've been able to keep tabs on it. Though I do admit I'm looking forward to the last 2 weeks of February cause I'm having some time off

I was enjoying watching the womens T20, Aus vs NZ, on ABC on the weekend. I hear they were getting ratings of about 100k. The twitter I saw also mentioned it outrated the W-League, the NBL and WNBL. Apparently Channel 9 are going to show a couple games too, so it will be interesting to see what those games rate.

 

[Twizzle]

I've seen a few and they are quiet good to watch
