I’m now really curious what the official numbers from Nielsen are on Friday, and how they calculated those numbers.

Seems too good to be true, but we'll see

The 23M, Tirico cited, who streamed the game is according to Nielsen, a spokesman told me.

No fricking way they did 23m “streaming”. The local markets had it on reg TV. And social media is ablaze about not usimg it. They lied. To make an ad takes time and game was last night. No fricking way they made an ad on Sunday less than 24 hours later.

All too convenient to sell a narrative. Its the biggest money maker in country TV wise and with that much at stake they will lie lie lie.

This site has tv ratings conmections and had this to say earlier today:



Sports TV Ratings
@SportsTVRatings
Update: am told national Nielsen numbers for Dolphins/Chiefs won't be out until Friday per Nielsen's schedule.

no conspiracy, just holiday delay + processing wiggle room since it's only the 2nd time Nielsen has done a live Peacock exclusive
1:56 PM · Jan 14, 2024
·

——

Then someone asked this:

“What you think it will be? Above or below expectations?”

And they replied with this:

Sports TV Ratings
@SportsTVRatings
·7h
who's expectations? I think they'll easily be lower than all the other games but a lot higher than the Chargers/Bills exclusive in December (7M+)

I have no doubt millions of people were willing to shell out $7, or whatever it was, to pay for this one game. It was genius by the NFL, tbh. And we'll see more of it as long as people pay.

I don't think it was a coincidence that they chose the KC game to be the one for the first streaming playoff game. They knew Swift fans would pay it. Sucks because now they can claim people are willing to pay and you know damn well it will become normal.

Rams/Lions game and just said KC game was most watched streaming game ever. 23M+ viewers


6 million less than the much less attractive Browns-Texans matchup.

NBC Sports' Saturday afternoon presentation of the Browns-Texans AFC Wild Card Game averaged 29.0 million viewers across NBC, Peacock, NBC Sports Digital, NFL Digital and Telemundo – ranking as the most-watched Saturday NFL Wild Card game on NBC since 2014.

Peacock NFL playoff game averages 23 million viewers - Sportsmediawatch
quote:

Saturday’s Dolphins-Chiefs AFC Wild Card Game averaged 23.0 million viewers across Peacock and the NBC affiliates in Miami and Kansas City, per Nielsen fast-nationals — up 6% from Chargers-Jaguars on NBC last year (21.8 million across Nielsen and Adobe Analytics) and the most-streamed live event ever in the United States. In an unusual, perhaps even unprecedented move, NBC announced the numbers on-air during the Rams-Lions playoff game Sunday night.

quote:

To put the number in perspective, the most-watched Thursday Night Football game on Amazon Prime — Seahawks-Cowboys in November — averaged 15.26 million. Peacock’s first NFL exclusive, Bills-Chargers in December, averaged 7.33 million. (As goes without saying, playoff games tend to average larger audiences than those in the regular season.)

The nfl is unstoppable.

No fricking way. They only had 30MM subscribers total in December:

quote:

NBCUniversal's Peacock (CMCSA) now has 30 million subscribers — up from the previously reported 28 million, Comcast president Mike Cavanagh revealed at a UBS media conference on Monday. Yahoo Finance


They must be including everyone who was logged in to Peacock as “watching the game” even if they were watching something else (like the Office).

I learned today that apparently I’ve been paying for Peacock for about a year.

Somehow my 7 year-old signed us up through our Amazon fire stick.

Meh, I downloaded the app on the thought and then said frick paying for that game.


I got a year subscription for $1.99/month.

Don't know what people are bitching about? That's a Snickers bar.

Remember all the worthless Boxing matches people paid $79.99 for?

They are misleading the info. It includes both home markets over the air watchers, so its not all streamers. And I still don’t believe the numbers as fast as they came out plus they made an ad in less than 24 hours on a holiday weekend Sun. They had already planned this ahead to announce on TV, its all fake info IMO. There are no real auditors to verify the people counting viewers.

And they lost a lot of viewers:

quote:

Earlier in the day, the Texans’ rout of the Browns averaged 29.0 million across NBC, Telemundo and streaming (including Peacock), the largest audience for a Saturday Wild Card game since Tom Brady’s final game with the Patriots in 2020 (31.42M). That includes a streaming audience of 3.1 million measured by Adobe Analytics.

Considering that Browns-Texans was a far lower-profile matchup than Dolphins-Chiefs, the difference of six million viewers is not trivial


quote:

It was not immediately clear how many viewers the local over-the-air simulcasts contributed to the overall audience. Per NBC, the game averaged a 45.1 rating and whopping 74 share on KSHB in Kansas City and a 14.5/41 on WTVJ in Miami.


I also read the comments posed to SMW (Sports Media Watch):

Q: Not including everyone who ran to restaurants and bars to watch?

A: Sports Media Watch
@paulsen_smw

Includes out-of-home viewing

Q: How do they know how many viewed out-of-home? Do restaurants and bars provide numbers of people? It would seem to me that more than the usual viewers in those locations made the attempt to watch the game at them.

A: Sports Media Watch
@paulsen_smw

Nielsen panelists carry portable people meters that are able to track audio in bars, restaurants, etc.

Q: So they just guess?

If I’m sitting at a bar and there are 3 TVs behind the bar and one had hockey, one had college basketball and one had the Dolphins on how would they possibly know what I’m watching?
