24’s Return Sees Massive Audiences For Sky One

The return of 24 drew 696,000 adults on average to Sky One on Saturday, with the first show in a double bill peaking at 720,000 between 9:15 and 9:30pm.

The ratings high is made all the more impressive as Sky One in not available to Freeview households.

Freeview availability enabled ITV2 to score a victory over 24, with 803,000 adults on average tuning in to its creepy thriller, Supernatural, in the same time-slot.

The second episode of 24’s double bill scored slightly lower ratings, as 586,000 adults tuned in on average, although this was enough to top ITV2’s movie, Mission Impossible, which scored an average audience of 432,000.

Overnight data is available each morning in mediatel.co.uk‘s TV Database, with all BARB registered subscribers able to view reports for terrestrial networks, ITV2 and Sky One.
