What is reach and average?

For long shows like Eurovision, the average can underestimate how many people have been watching.

But a higher average result does mean a more engaged audience.

How did the 2025 Eurovision Grand Final compare?

Reach was almost the same as 2024 and an impressive number for a smaller broadcaster like SBS.

It is also positive to see a big increase (35%) in the average viewership for the live early morning breakfast.

What about the semi-finals?

We will provide more details to come on this in the coming days.
