Catch-up figures show fans watch Game of Thrones on-the-day as third outing dips
The third outing of Game of Thrones on Foxtel’s Showcase channel has dropped again, although the HBO show was still comfortably the most watched show on pay-TV yesterday.
The 11am fast-tracked showing attracted 177,000 viewers, down from 205,000 last week, whilst the 7.30pm repeat screening dipped on last week’s 293,000 viewers to 259,000.
On-the-day viewing seems to be the preferred option for fans, however, with relatively muted time-shifted views during the week with the 7.30pm episode picking up an extra 27,000 viewers, and the early showing another 12,000.
It was great that it was a public holiday in Perth on Monday and we could all stay home and watch Game of Thrones.
The last two weeks I had to make up reasons to be at home on a Monday morning at 9am.
Luckily next week I’m on annual leave, who could wait until Wednesday?
And it will keep dipping…the most over-hyped show of all time.
