More people tuned in on Uk tv to watch Wales game than England


According to the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board (BARB) - a British organisation that compiles audience measurement and television ratings throughout the United Kingdom - two million more people watched the Wales game than watched the England game.

According to the statistics released on Tuesday, an average audience of 9.4 million settled down to watch Wales v USA on ITV, while an average of 7.4 million watched England v Iran on BBC One. One glaring reason for the difference is clearly the scheduling, with Wales playing in the prime-time slot between 7pm and 9pm and England kicking-off at 1pm during traditional working and school day hours.

More people tuned into Wales’ opening World Cup match than the England game.
