Pretty good start all round.

54K metro viewers tuned into last night's clash on 10BOLD
A decrease of 40% compared to last Saturday's Big Blue.

Ouch .

What were the ratings for last weekend?

Melbourne cup ratings were down yesterday. Geez ten can’t catch a break can they 

Derby got 75k last night 

That's about triple some recent ratings.

Crowds will drive ratings because of the atmosphere factor
Keep any game with Western United or the Bulls well away from FTA. 

Not a-league, but England vs Iran got 198k which is pretty good for a midnight AEST kick off

Is that just on tele?

Argentina vs Saudi Arabia 439k

Wow

SBS is the home of football

Reporting Aus v France as only 461k. Surely this is significantly incorrect, there is no way that is right.

at 5:30am?

I know more people that watched Japan or Saudi game (coz of the time) than the Socceroos game to be fair.

let's see what Saturday night's ratings are

Damn Shame we don’t have any more 9pm matches now 

Australia vs Tunisia got 1.034 mil Metro.

Mediaweek expecting 1.5m once you add in regionals and online.

Seems like a pass mark. Must be one of the highest rating SBS telecasts in a while (along with Eurovision I imagine).

I reckon if the Denmark game was at 9pm it would go close to 2m. Hopefully if we do get through the group we end up with something more favourable than 2am. 

Total figures for the match 1.726m

Metro 1,034,000
Regional 306,000
BVOD 386,000

Interesting article on Channel 10 and its focus on younger demographics. Interesting reference to the A-League.

https://www.mediaweek.com.au/how-10-has-mixed-things-u-as-australias-youngest-tv-channel/

"In sport, Network 10 reached 11.9 million viewers across the year. The 2022 Melbourne Cup Carnival reached 3.51 million Australians, the Australian Formula One Grand Prix reached 3.2 million Australians, while the A-Leagues reached over 6.5 million fans.

10 Play was up 6% year-on-year, with more than 6.2 million registered users. 10 Play has also seen growth in live streaming, up 21% on the same point of 2021"

I'd say they may well be pleased with the contribution sport has made.

If we go through in second place, the R16 game will be 6am. Same for the QF, SF and Final when we eventually make them too.

Is being updated almost on a daily basic...

Its SBS ratings for all WC matches.... also interesting last Saturday the WC easily won the most watched.

Socceroos (2am) won the 16-39 demo!

Yesterday:Incredible 150,000* in Sydney alone at 2am
@Socceroos Outranks EVERYTHING in prime time there last night (even 7News 6.30pm, ABC News and 7.30, only trailed 9News 6, 6.30 and 7News 6)!
Melb: 73,000 - all at Fed Square
(*not incl regional or streaming)

Total 5city rating was 315,000 which as you say is fantastic for 2:am AEDST.

The NBL did OK with their Christmas Day experiment.  The game made a loss for the owner but the ratings were the best for the season.

"But the all-important ratings figures show the NBL’s groundbreaking venture proved popular from the lounge, with more than 300,000 people tuning in across ESPN, Kayo and Channel 10 platforms to make it the most-watched game to date of the 2022/23 season."

For the NBL, a 300k rating is absolutely enormous (but a bit hard to believe to be honest)
