Manchester City-PSG: audience card for RMC Sport

We suspected the very strong enthusiasm aroused by the meeting - the first leg had already reached peak audiences - we now have confirmation.

Even if the result was not the one so hoped for by PSG fans, the semi-final return of the Champions League between the Parisian club and Manchester City on Tuesday evening allowed RMC Sport, the event's broadcaster, to achieve one of the best audiences in its history.

According to the results communicated by Médiamétrie, the sports channel of the Altice group achieved a huge audience.

With 12.2% audience share, RMC Sport 1 achieved its historic record for 25-49 year olds.

It was the 3rd most watched channel in France for this age group.

✨ Final whistle in Manchester, PSG are eliminated!

The step was too high against this team of Guardiola, which reaches for the first time to the final of the C1 since it is in England.

The Parisians were not there.

In fact, 2.5 million cumulative viewers followed the defeat (2-0) of PSG in England with an average of 1.6 million viewers. RMC Sport achieves its record in cumulative audience for a match during the current season as well as its 2nd best cumulative audience in history. With 477,000 devices connected to the RMC Sport channels, from 8 pm to midnight, RMC Sport achieves its best audience score on the OTT (content available in streaming from a mobile, tablet or computer).

The pre and post game also allowed the channel to break records.

The “Champions Zone” program presented by Jean-Baptiste Boursier and the “Dream Team RMC Sport” which launched the evening, achieved its best audience of the season with 1.7 million viewers (234,000 viewers on average).

The analyzes and reactions after the defeat, on the program "Champions Zone", were followed by 1.4 million viewers (309,000 viewers on average).

Again a historical record in cumulative audience.

The Parisian club's European campaign has enabled RMC Sport, the exclusive broadcaster of the premier competition in Europe, to swell its audiences.

So much so that TF1 had positioned itself for a while to broadcast the return semi-final.
