Yeah hockey is super popular in Finland. Round robin games have better tv rates per population than Super bowl in US. Give some contrast of how big this tournament is in Europe.

Zápas s Nory přilákal 1,6 mil. diváků, byl pořadem soboty

Pondělní večer pro seriál Specialisté, přes den vládl hokej

CT Sport is also available for some people in Slovakia, so I suppose that the numbers also Include Slovaks watching?

GER - GBR: 750,000 viewers on average (1.07 million peak)

That’s not bad for paid channel. Is it better than regular TV ratings?

That march against Russia was at time many people still work, in evening it would draw 2+ million, plus thousands of people are watching on the internet on ctsport site.

Don't they count ppl watching on the ctsport site either? My guess is it would be a third of total number, at least.

 

[Lepardi]

I saw in the NHL tv ratings thread that the Slovakia vs Finland game had 2 million viewers on average watching in Finland.

No, it had 1.37 million viewers on average and more than two million viewers combined.

 

[Nexon]

More than 2 million in Czech yesterday according to Czech TV.

For comparison last debate of European elections had just 200000 combined.

 

[Jussi]

1,75 million average audience in Finland for the quarterfinal on MTV3, CMore and CMore streaming. Peak audience reach was 2,4 million.

 

[Firsov99]

RTVS (Slovak TV):

USA - Slovakia: 1 274 000 viewers
Slovakia - Finland: 1 330 333 viewers

This is impressive considering the population of Slovakia.

 

[stastny12]

This is impressive considering the population of Slovakia.

Actually, reach was something around 3 million people, which is pretty awesome

 

[Jakk123]

Actually, reach was something around 3 million people, which is pretty awesome

It's a lot of people, but on the other hand, I feel like the vast majority of Slovak fans only care about hockey during the WC.

 

[Mirinho]

Czech TV
CZE vs GER (almost 2.500.000 average) (3.000.000 peak)

lol almost 30% of our population

 

[VictorLustig]

Swedish TV: From a couple of articles, ~1.500.000 (peak) against Russia and the Czechs. Just under 2.000.000 (peak) for the quarterfinal game. Around 1.000.000 (peak) for the other Sweden games.

All games were on national TV. Not so sure those numbers are good.

I saw in the NHL tv ratings thread that the Slovakia vs Finland game had 2 million viewers on average watching in Finland.

What have the viewing figures been like from other countries for the tournament so far?

So that means something like 80 % of Finnish male population aged 15-65 watched the game, right?

 

[Bear12Good]

Please help me find tv ratings in Canada!

 

[NyQuil]

Please help me find tv ratings in Canada!

Typically they post them after the tournament is over.

How do you figure this? Are you just assuming all who watched are males aged 15-65? Or do European ratings give separate values for males/females?


P.S. According to this data Population Finland has 4.62 million people over the age of 15 - so the average was about 30% of the "adult" population and combined viewership about 43% (I'm not exactly sure what combined refers to)

Yes they do, separated by age groups as well.

 

[Nino33]

Wow! I get they can determine whether a channel is on or not, but it's weird they can determine who's actually in the room watching. In all the links to ratings I've seen I don't think I've ever noticed it being divided up in such a way

 

[gary69]

For Finland, the TV-ratings system is explained here (I didn't bother to search for actual ratings, though).

Finnpanel

They cannot, of course. As Mark Twain said, there are lies, damn lies and statistics. It's advantageous for the television "industry" to invent those figures (wild guesstimates and approximations at best), so they do so.

 

[palsoft]

Or they just install peoplemeters at the population sample and extrapolate the results
