Sky’s coverage of the Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus drew fewer than 500,000 viewers, as its sports chief complained this has been the worst season ever for audiences.

Its coverage of the final on Saturday night drew an average of just 497,000 viewers, almost a third the audience it attracted for the 2014 final.

Sky Sports head Barney Francis has attempted to take the sting out of BT’s launch, and dampen perceived impact of the loss to Sky, arguing that the Champions League is not the valuable asset it once was.

“Over the last five seasons we have seen Champions League audiences fall 38%,” he said in a blog. “ Last season, we saw our lowest ever average match audience and not a single European game appeared in our top 40 football matches.”

No surprise there really, the CL is a tedious competition.

I wonder how much of that resulted from Sky pundits' years of repeating the old stereotypes about the cynical, defensive, and slow style of Italian soccer.

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
Americans love soccer.

quote:

The game was a hit in the overnights for Fox as well, drawing a 1.8 overnight rating that is tied for the highest overnight in the history of the Champions League on Fox. The game it’s tied with? Barcelona’s 3-1 win over Manchester United in 2011. There’s something about Barca, I guess. It’s also worth noting that overnight does *not* include the Fox Deportes simulcast, which will likely push the final viewership number even higher.

It’s not surprising that Barca-Juve was up 50% from 2014 and 80% from 2013 – each of those matches was a league derby, as Real Madrid prevailed over Atletico Madrid in 2014 and Bayern Munich topped Bundesliga rival Borussia Dortmund in 2013. Clubs from two different countries making the final had to have helped a little bit, and the global fanbases possessed by both squads didn’t hurt matters a bit.

The strong final caps off a solid year for the Champions League on Fox Sports. Through the semifinals, viewership for matches was up 40% on Fox Sports 1, and the second leg of both semifinals (Juventus-Real Madrid and Barcelona-Bayern Munich) both cracked 500,000 viewers, despite airing in the middle of the day during the middle of the week.

Despite Barca winning the CL, Arsenal didnt get the CL win clause payout because there was a minimum number of appearances required.
