I've lost track of the amount of people look confused when I mention the channel because they didn't even know it existed. If they paid for some advertising on the more watched channels, then things may be different.

Philjax Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 22 hours ago, Sheffbag said: Viewing figures are out for February - OUCH!!!!!!!!!! Top Ten programmes on Freesports in February........No 5Star at all and #10 is University Rugby with 16.3K viewers. So for all the hype and the massive posters "everywhere" less than 16,300 people officially watched any of the shows. It got beat by "Practical Caravan TV" on Showcase.  Most of the facebook versions of the show (which are all there still to be viewed) have more than 20,000 views. That's where most people watched it, after the fact in my case. But yes it seems no one has Freesports. It doesn't appear on either of the two boxes in my house. It's not on Virgin. It was hardly going to be in the 100,000's. Impact gets less than 120,000 on 5Spike currently. They barely get 350,000 in the States! Again I think a lot of people watch it on catchup on My5. It's just easier, and it's in HD on there. Also that number above could just as easily mean 2 people watched the rugby the way the figures are collected. Could anyone tell me the full results from Belfast so I don't have to sit through 3 hours and 22 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffbag Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Philjax BARB are the recognised industry standard for viewing figures. Most TV companies use the BARB figures to sell the advertising space on the show/channel. If i was FreeSports then i would be raising questions on 5 Star for taking away potential revenue from the station by showing it live on Facebook. The viewing figures include catch up as well. To use your analogy if 2 people are watching the rugby then no-one out of the 5000+ houses with a BARB box is watching 5 Star on any platform within the house. 5 Star claim to be able to reach "18 million homes" (https://5starwrestling.co.uk/news/11/major_announcements_by_our_live_tv_partner_freesports) , i cant comment on your own situation but i have sky and its been on there since day 1. We have no idea of what VF Freesports have given 5 Star as a target, they may be happy with whatever figures they are getting. BUT with all the publicity 5 Star were claiming to be doing plus the TV advertising it was doing and its on a Free to air channel then it is proving to be less popular than a show about "Practical Caravanning" Results as requested - apologies for the banner, lifted it straight from the site.

westlondonmist Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 It's a shame but I am not surprised, when I watch it then it is recorded so I fast forward through the breaks and I imagine many do the same. If more people are watching it online then surely it would be better to do advertisements on the ring mat and around the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 8, 2018 Alberto was there as a replacement for Rey, right? Absolutely bonkers to have put him over Fleisch if he was only there as a one-shot.  Quote BUT with all the publicity 5 Star were claiming to be doing I'm not sure about anywhere else, but I mentioned earlier in the thread that I was in Plymouth the day of the 5 Star show there, and I didn't see a single poster or flyer anywhere in the city centre, or anywhere around the university campus. While I didn't have chance to check the local papers (I think they have got a reasonable amount of local press coverage, based on what I've seen online), there was absolutely nothing on the day that would have suggested to me a televised wrestling show was happening that evening.

I had a long response but the thing got deleted and i'm not doing it again. The jist of it was that the peak viewing audience potential for this show I believe is about 40,000.
