The T20 Big Bash League has started out smashing the ratings for Channel Ten averaging over 800,000 viewers for the opening session on Friday and sustaining large audiences throughout the weekend.
A day after more than 1.16 million capital city and regional viewers tuned into the start of Channel Ten's coverage of the Stars-Renegades clash, 1.13 million fans tuned into the Sydney Smash to see the Sydney Thunder up against the Sydney Sixers.
The Total Average Audience for the first 3 matches (Hurricanes v Strikers washed out) of the KFC T20 Big Bash League in BBL|03 is 1,139,533, with Average Total Reach of 2,413,249.
The numbers, which CA says are well beyond its expectations, are double the goal of 500,000 which the governing body and Ten agreed upon before the start of the competition.
