1983-2011 Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 NEW DELHI: The Indian Premier League's website ipl.indiatimes.com, run by the Times Internet Limited (TIL) in partnership with YouTube, registered a phenomenal growth of 56 per cent in the first week -- including the opening ceremony -- this season. The IPL website has already recorded 13.7 million views, as against 8.8 million views last year. New Delhi and Bangalore led the viewership with 14 per cent each, with Mumbai coming in a close second at 13 percent. This leap reflects the growing trend of fans watching IPL matches online. This year, the IPL website offers a virtual battleground for fans to fight it out, which got 1.5 million engagements in the first week itself. The matches which registered the maximum online views were played on April 10 between Bangalore and Kolkata, and between Delhi and Chennai. The day saw a total of 2.15 million views on the site, which included 0.7 million unique visitors. Almost 0.6 million viewers have enjoyed the match action on their mobiles over the last week on Apalya mobile TV platform across Airtel, Idea and Vodafone. This is double the traffic registered last year. Rishi Khiani, CEO, TIL, said: "Last year we delivered a superior viewing experience and garnered significant audiences. This year, our emphasis is on higher interactivity and our strong social focus has paid off right at the start, becoming a sign of things to come over the season." Praveen Sharma, head of media sales, Google India, said, "We're really excited to see the continuous growth in viewership of IPL." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl-2012/news/IPL-5-56-increase-in-online-viewership/articleshow/12643426.cms
