Up to 1.6 million viewers watched the 2-0 draw of Austria’s national soccer team against the Netherlands on Thursday evening. The ORF shows the resulting market share at 55 percent. In the 3-1 win against North Macedonia it was even more: 1.7 million people watched the ÖFB team’s opening game. Overall, the ORF celebrated more than 4.7 million viewers after the first week of the EURO. That corresponds to 62 percent of the domestic TV population aged twelve and over, according to the Küniglberg.
Apart from the hair-raising impassiveness of broadcasting more than a quarter of an hour’s struggle for survival in the cardiac arrest of the Danish footballer Christian Eriksen, the ORF has made no major blunders. We get what we are used to: Questions ranging from “How happy are you with the win?” until “Are you disappointed with the defeat?”. It doesn’t get more meaningful in terms of content. The questions explain the quality of the answers: At every opportunity, the sports reporters let their interlocutors flee into the rhetorical undergrowth of commonplace: “I’m very happy …”, “I’m very disappointed …”, “… but we think from game to game “.
The good quota confirms that the audience doesn’t care what is going on. The main thing is to kick it. The OÖN observed the key players in the ORF EURO team for a week and rated them with a wink (large graphic). You can help decide whether we are dealing with a medial dog kick – or whether we have witnessed an ORF victory these days.
