Data from AUDIMATIC’s Public TV Audience Dashboard shows a familiar — yet remarkable — pattern.
All-day dominance
Throughout the entire day, ENTV stood as the clear audience leader:

These figures underline ENTV’s role as the primary reference channel for national events in Algeria.
Massive concentration during the match
As kickoff approached, viewing behaviour shifted dramatically:
