Last year in Chennai VG, the second largest newspaper in Norway, had up to 250.000 daily stream views while the TV channel NRK had up to 450.000 daily views. Both VG and NRK do a great job of making the streams accessible and fun to ordinary people who aren't really into chess, and a lot probably watch due to national proudness, yet it's still cool to see so high ratings for chess. VG has a great interface for the games, with text updates, computer calculations, tweet/questions, best moves, live stream from studio etc: http://direkte.vg.no/studio/sjakkvm2014-9 http://direkte.vg.no/studio/sjakkvm2014-9
