Swiss national team sets SF annual viewer record

Around 1.6 million viewers watched the Korea-Switzerland match on SF zwei. This represents a record audience for the year, according to Swiss Television (SF). The market share was 79.2 percent, also a record at this World Cup. The ratings for the Swiss national team's previous matches were 74.6 percent (Togo - Switzerland) and 72.4 percent (France - Switzerland). As always, the figures do not include viewers who did not watch the event on screen at home, but in public places and on large screens. SF also reports that the added-value offerings for the World Cup on the Internet have also met with great interest. The sports site Sport.sf.tv has recorded 40,000 visits a day since the start of the World Cup, with over twice as many on the day of the Korea-Switzerland match. The online game has also been successful, attracting 130,000 visitors to date. The football blog records up to 4,200 visits a day.
