It also set a new series high for same-night multi-platform viewership.<\/p>\n<p>According to HBO, Sunday&#8217;s episode drew a live+same-day TV audience of 11.8 million.  Up from the 10.1 million drawn by the seventh season premiere, the figure represents the show&#8217;s second-best linear TV performance.  Only the season seven finale (12.1 million) drew a better live+same-day number.<\/p>\n<p>HBO notes that the linear TV number was likely hurt by the Dish carriage dispute.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday&#8217;s episode nonetheless sets the all-time high-mark for same-night multi-platform viewership.  It drew 17.4 million viewers across TV, HBOGO and HBO Now, topping the 16.9 million for the season seven finale and 16.1 million for the season seven premiere.<\/p>\n<p>As mammoth as the viewership numbers are for a TV show in 2019, they will swell considerably once delayed viewership is included.  HBO notes that seventh season episodes averaged 32.8 million total viewers &#8212; roughly three times the initial live+same-day TV rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ratings are in for the season eight &#8220;Game Of Thrones&#8221; premiere.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":126266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[2026,78],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ratings: &quot;Game Of Thrones&quot; Rises From Last Premiere; Sets Record With Streaming Included<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The season eight &quot;Game Of Thrones&quot; premiere drew a larger live+same-day television audience than the previous season opener.
