SF2: Record ratings thanks to Swiss national team

The match between the Swiss football team and Togo was watched by 933,300 viewers at home on SF2 - and by over a million viewers during the second half. This was announced on Tuesday by Publica Data, a subsidiary of the Swiss radio and television company. This is the second-highest figure since the start of the World Cup: only Switzerland's match against France attracted more viewers (over 1.4 million), but it took place later in the evening than yesterday's match. However, the exceptionally high market share of 74.6% for the Togo-Switzerland match exceeded that of the Switzerland-France match. As already reported, the Telecontrol ratings do not take into account the so-called "public viewing" on the numerous big screens or office use. The latter was probably higher than usual yesterday, as the match kicked off at 3 p.m. and many people watched the game in the office.The five most-watched broadcasts of the World CupFrance - Switzerland: 1,473,000 people (MA: 72.4%)
