"Game of Thrones" Season 3 Premiere Breaks Ratings Records
"Game of Thrones" Season 3 Premiere Ratings Break Records
by James Hibberd Apr 1 2013 HBO’s "Game of Thrones" returned Sunday night to its most-watched episode ever. The third season premiere delivered 4.4 million viewers for its premiere at 9 p.m. and racked up 6.7 million viewers for the evening after its two repeats were tallied. That’s up 13 percent from its first airing last year and represents a record for the show in both measurements. Despite heavy publicity and a rabid fan base, odds were stacked against "Thrones" setting a record. TV viewership historically dips on Easter Sunday, and "Thrones" ran head-to-head for the first time with the heavily anticipated "The Walking Dead" finale, which has a demographically similar male-skewing audience (and also set a series record last night). Give that "Thrones" premiered against the wind, I suspect "Thrones" will beat these numbers a few times this season (and could it surpass "True Blood" as HBO’s most-watched show?). Though HBO has not announced a fourth season on "Thrones", you will likely see a renewal within the next couple weeks. http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/04/01/ga...ere-ratings-3/ |
