It was the television ‘event’ of the year, but the audience was smaller than the 29 million who watched Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral
The coronation of King Charles, according to a report in the “Guardian” newspaper, a television audience of 20 million British people watched. Undoubtedly, it was the television ‘event’ of the year, but the audience was significantly smaller than the 29 million Britons who watched the Queen Elizabeth’s funeral last September.
The ratings for the coronation at Westminster Abbey they were apparently boosted by bad weather in the UK, with many people staying indoors to watch the coronation on TV.
The vast majority of the audience – 15.5 million – watched the BBC’s coverage, which was broadcast on BBC One, BBC Two and the BBC News channel. ITV’s coverage exceeded 3.6 million viewers and Sky’s coverage reached 800,000 people across Sky News and Sky Showcase, according to official Barb viewing figures, provided by agency Digital-i.
The viewing figures do not include the small but significant number of people who watched the coronation via “live” streams and through non-traditional broadcast methods such as YouTube. In addition, some television channels chose to ignore the coronation altogether, with mixed ratings results.
