BeautifulGame Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 For the first five matches, the average time spent per viewer has increased 22% year-on-year And this is on the back of two months of World Cup Cricket .To think some here were predicting IPL doom and stagnation :hysterical: http://wap.business-standard.com/article/companies/broadcaster-makes-merry-as-ipl-viewership-soars-42-115041800039_1.html
G_B_ Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 those predicting doom were just way off the mark. In a country which is growing by 4.7% at the worst of times and adding television sets and internet connections in the order of millions every year this was never going to fade away once it caught on. If the IMF projections and World Bank projections on India growth come true i do believe we are in for even bigger crowd numbers.

Number Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 By 2019 it will be premier tournament like WC. Modi magic.
sscomp32 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 With the addition of Sony KIX there will be more increase in viewership.
rajmarie Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Impressive gain...considering that India did well and went upto the SF in the WC just weeks ago...a great start to IPL. The grounds are also quite full if not fullhouse.
Desi Cartman Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 By 2019 it will be premier tournament like WC. Modi magic. Kounsa wala?
lebron_fan Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I wish they'd allow 5 foreign players. that would make the overall game and competition more competitive.
_Triple_H_ Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 has it got anything to do with the fact that last time first half was played in UAE
Yamaha Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I wish they'd allow 5 foreign players. that would make the overall game and competition more competitive. +1 With the current rules, you have players like Dale Steyn forced to sit out.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I wish they'd allow 5 foreign players. that would make the overall game and competition more competitive. No. Thanks
kubrickian Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 This is actually surprising because this year's IPL is being played after 2 months of World Cup and there would be a certain amount of fatigue and overdose but stats show otherwise. I never doubted IPL's popularity and appeal after first season though. It will only get bigger.
Texan Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Were those that predicted doom happened to be members of the ECB?
BeautifulGame Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 TAM ratings for IPL8 rise 25 per cent in first four weeks MUMBAI: The Indian Premier League is growing in both popularity and television viewership as reflected by the ratings of the first four weeks. Data released by TAM Media Research show IPL8 ratings are up 25% from the seventh edition. As of its fourth week, season eight of IPL, which has seen fans fill up big stadiums, has hooked viewers with some really close matches. TAM data show that IPL8 has so far garnered an average of 3.8 TVR (television viewership rating) versus 3.1 last year. This was among the target group of CS4+, which refers to viewers above the age of four. The 34 matches of IPL8 that TAM has reviewed so far have been sampled by 172 million unique viewers versus 169 million for the 34 matches of IPL 7. The time spent by viewers per match has so far been 45 minutes and 54 seconds compared with last year's 41 minutes and 39 seconds, recording 10% growth. The growth in ratings and time spent on matches comes at a time when the game has been riddled with controversies as well as a wider downtrend in viewership for cricket as reported by ET. "What can I say, except that IPL continues to do well and grow," said Rohit Gupta, president, MSM, the official broadcaster. The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC), the joint body set up by the industry and followed by Sony and other broadcasters, shows week 16 and 17 ratings at an average of 6.0 TVR. This is in households with a target group of CS4+ all-India (household data). Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) versus Mumbai and Kolkata versus Chennai scored the highest with a cumulative 8.3 TVR across the Sony network, according to BARC data. The cumulative reach of the IPL has risen from about 100 million in its first edition in 2008 to 160 million in IPL4 to 191.4 million last year. Last year's rating rose 7% from 3.2 in 2013 to 3.6. http://articles.economictimes.indiat...il-tvr-ratings
