2023 Greatest Show on Earth

Viewing figures.

On Sky Sports in the UK, the World Championship Final had 750k on Sky Sports Darts. Plus 266k on Main Event, where it appeared after the Newcastle-Arsenal game if memory serves.

= 1.02m.
Peaking at 1.49m.

That's surely a great number.

Looks very very healthy yes. Not forgetting that the German figures were off the scale, as mentioned up the thread.

I wonder if the 9 darter in the 2023 final created a buzz on social media which led to the peak audience of 1.49m.

That's a great point, people scrolling soial media on their phones while watching stuff and the 9er was quite the explosion.

Yes. a few people switched over

Some TV ratings from earlier in the tournament.

Pity really that the Worlds jumps around channels as it really complicates things.

These are the figures for Sky Sports Main Event only. They do not include Sky Sports Darts figures.

There was no Premier League football in the week below because of the World Cup.

The English Football League game was Wigan v Sheffield United.

The Scottish Premiership game was Aberdeen v Rangers.

I have only seen a small sample so far but it is interesting that darts seems to consistently smash football matches that aren't the English Premier League.
