FOX SPORTS SETS NEW SUBSCRIPTION TV RECORD WITH SOCCEROOS ON SATURDAY NIGHT



The Australia v Japan AFC Asian Cup football match on Saturday night created a new Australian Subscription TV record audience with an average of 419,000 people watching the game on FOX SPORTS.



The Australia v Japan AFC Asian Cup quarter final had a higher average audience than any program in the history of Australian Subscription TV as well as a peak audience of 515,000 during the penalty shoot out.



The match, which went right down to the wire before Australia was knocked out in heart-breaking circumstances, also attracted a total audience of 1,029,000, according to ratings recorded by OzTAM Data.



These figures do not include the huge number of people who watched the match at one of 3,600 FOX SPORTS venues around Australia in what was a massive night of sport on Saturday night.
