Below are a few TV tuning highlights from our Hot Topic report on the tournament. To request a copy of the full report (available to clients with Lens or InfoSys+ subscriptions only) click here. here
TV tuning highlights:
- Looking at the Canada games only we see that average audience was up 13% compared to the first 5 Canada games last year reaching an extra 278,000 Canadians.
- The preliminary game against Russia drew the largest audience reaching 4.4m Ind2+.
- Total reach for all live games across the tournament was down slightly from 35.1% of Ind2+ last year to 30.7% this year.
- The early elimination of the Canadian team probably also had an impact on the average games watched across the tournament which was 4.6 this year compared to 5.1 last year.
