Switzerland won the Eurovision Song Contest, and up to 800,000 viewers tuned in to SRF 1 to watch the live broadcast. The average viewership was 614,000 people, representing a market share of 53.3 percent—a record-breaking rating.
The "Eurovision Song Contest" was not only a success for the Swiss music world, but there is also reason to celebrate in terms of ratings. Up to 800,000 viewers watched the final show live on SRF 1 on Saturday evening, May 11, 2024, according to the broadcaster.
The talented Nemo won the "Eurovision Song Contest" for Switzerland on Saturday evening, May 11, 2024. Up to 800,000 viewers watched the final show live on SRF 1. Never before has the market share of an "ESC" broadcast been so high: on average, around 614,000 people (market share of 53.3%) watched the live broadcast. Among the younger TV audience (15-59 years), the figure was as high as 59.0 percent. Even the aftershow and press conference were watched late at night by just under 70% of the total audience (aftershow 360,000 viewers and press conference 196,000 viewers).
The semi-final last Thursday, May 9, 2024, was already met with great interest: An average of 472,000 people watched Nemo's entry into the final of the "Eurovision Song Contest" on SRF zwei. This corresponds to a market share of just under 40 percent. The ratings for the semi-final were partly on a par with the finals broadcasts of recent years.
