In the final tournament of the World Cup (World Cup) Qatar tournament of soccer, Japan faced Croatia for the first time in history. After extra time with a score of 1-1, the team went into a penalty shootout, but lost 1-3. The terrestrial television relay was carried out by Fuji TV, and the instantaneous highest audience rating (Kanto area) was 38.3%.
Shinbo) The average household audience rating (Kanto area) of Fuji TV series was also 34.6%. I mean, most people were watching the game all the time. On the other hand, what surprised me was that the average individual audience rating was 20.2% (same). I’ve never seen such a high number in individual audience ratings.
As long as the TV is on, the household audience rating is counted regardless of who is watching it or not. However, the world is getting tougher, and the program sponsors can’t pay for such numbers. Therefore, sponsors are concerned about the “core audience rating”, which is the individual audience rating of the age group with a high desire to purchase products. This individual audience rating does not simply indicate whether or not the TV is on, but provides detailed attributes such as the gender and age of the people watching the program in the household.
The individual audience rating for the Japan-Croatia match was 20.2%, which means that about 25 million people were watching the broadcast on Fuji TV. In addition, the number of viewers of the Internet broadcast “ABEMA” increased to about 23.43 million immediately after the match. In other words, it can be calculated that about 50 million people were watching the game in real life if both were combined. That’s a big number.
