Nine's Olympics broadcast reaches 13.57 million viewers
[Wed 15/08/2012 02:07:26]
By Staff reporter
The Nine Network says its 17-day London Olympics broadcast reached more Australians than any other Olympic broadcast in Australian television history.
Nine’s free-to-air coverage reached more than 13.57 million viewers, outperforming the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games by almost 920,600 and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games by 1.06 million.
On average Nine delivered 1.62 million viewers across the early evening and evening timeslots (6.30pm - 10.30pm) of London 2012. Nine’s broadcast partner Foxtel attracted 538,170 viewers across the corresponding timeslot, bringing the aggregate five-city metro television audience to 2.13 million.
Despite the ratings, Nine has previously confirmed that it will lose no more than $20 million on the venture. Nine and Foxtel jointly paid $120 million for the rights to screen the Olympics. However, Nine's new shows, Big Brother and Underbelly Badness – which were incessantly spruiked during the Olympics broadcast – posted strong ratings this week.
Meanwhile, ninemsn’s London 2012 website attracted 46 million page impressions and 6 million video stream.
