Italian fans beginning to switch off

Italian television viewers are turning away from soccer with the sport's dozens of programmes showing falling viewing figures.

The daily Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Friday that many of the highlights and chat shows on Italian terrestrial channels have suffered a fall in audience share this season.

Live games have also lost viewers with AC Milan's Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday, shown on free terrestrial channel Italia 1, picking up just 10.61 per cent of the audience.

Italian national team games, avaliable on state broadcaster RAI have also seen a major slump, Gazzetta said.

The traditional Sunday evening highlights show 90th Minute has seen its audience share drop by over 3 percent and presenter Paola Ferrari said that while that fall was not dramatic there were signs fans were worn out by saturation coverage.

'There is some tiredness from the public. It comes from the disappointing Euro 2004 for Italy, the increased number of games and also because in Serie A Juventus have been on top from the start and some of the Inter, Roma and Lazio fans have been lost,' she said.

One of the few programmes to show a slight increase in audience share is 'Biscardi's Trial' - a controversial panel discussion show which frequently descends into loud and bitter rows.

'I talk about the sickness in football and as the game is seriously ill people are interested and they watch,' Biscardi said.

===========================

For the sake of Serie A, FORZA INTER!!! this weekend.

yes but we also need programs like 90th minute not to switch channels because TLN and RAI can't make up

90th minute now switched to CityTV here in Canada so a lot of people that didn't kno that will obviously not watch it

People will be continuously disappointed with the NT until we get an attack minded coach, lippi's doing alright as the 4-3 belarus game must have been very exciting to watch, but 1-0 after 1-0 gets tiring also

and it's true we are almost getting too much coverage and sunday evening games that involve teams like udinese-livorno will not be watched as much as an inter-juve game

wt-f is wrong with roma fans and the team. god they must be waiting for 2005 to start over. 2004 has been a horrible year for them. the fans are making the club look like a joke. but i still got respect for roma fans in the SG Forums :rockman:

0-3 for Roma, 84th minute, Monetella with another one and Totti with a goal i think.
Good win for them, even though Siena is second from last, but Roma isnt much higher, and its an away win.

How do you even know its the Roma fans? The game was taking place at Siena's stadium and i cant see that much Roma fans making the trip, and there supporter section was empty.

Good win for Roma, another brace by Montella who i feel is lucky to score and be in right place at right time.

had a nice backheel to gift Montella's second and passed to Totti for his first.

Good game.

Somebody threw a faucet at Chiesa during when he took a corner. I'm not sure it was thrown during the corner but Chiesa grabbed it from the floor and showed it to the ref. Nothing was done. :confused:

the away fans section was full (:/)
when montella scored the first one the whole team ran towards the roma fans and they were there (with orange flares)
in the first half the orange flare landed on the same side where the roma fans were when montella scored.
