LOST Finale Draws 600,000 Viewers in the UK, 400,000 in Spain
Cuatro, Season 6, Sky One, Sky One Ratings
Via The Guardian:
More than 600,000 fans braved an early morning start yesterday, Monday 24 May, to watch the finale of Lost at 5am on Sky1 – more than have been watching the show in its regular Friday 9pm slot in recent weeks.
Lost had a five-minute peak audience of 854,000 viewers, with an average of 635,000 between 5am and 7.15am.
The finale, entitled The End, was scheduled to run until 7.30am, but the broadcast – beamed in live from the US as Sky1 simulcast the show’s conclusion with US network ABC’s west coast transmission – actually ended 15 minutes early. Sky1 was one of seven non-US broadcasters that simulcast The End late on Sunday and yesterday.
Between 6am and 6.30am the Lost finale, the climax of 121 often baffling episodes, had a bigger audience than BBC breakfast and ITV1′s GMTV.
In the past month Lost, which normally airs on Sky1 at 9pm on Friday, has attract between 500,000 and 575,000 viewers.
In the US the final episode drew 13 million viewers on ABC on Sunday at 9pm, the highest ratings for the show for two years, although some observers thought that such a high-profile finale would draw bigger numbers.
The first half of “The End” drew 396.000 viewers (39,6% share) on CUATRO, while the second half averaged 408,000 viewers (25,7% share).

Sky1 to Simulcast LOST Series Finale
Season 6, Sky One
Good news for LOST fans from the UK:
On Monday 24 May, after six monumental seasons and 121 captivating episodes, the series that has provoked more theories, debates and analysis than any other, will reach its final hours on Sky 1 HD and Sky 1. Along with fans in six other countries outside of the US (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Israel, Turkey and Canada), UK viewers will be able to enjoy the world premiere of LOST’s thrilling conclusion as Sky1 HD air a live simulcast of the US transmission. The double bill finale, aptly entitled The End, will bring to a close the many unanswered mysteries that show producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have teased viewers with since 2004.
Stuart Murphy, Director of Programmes, Sky1 HD, Sky1, 2 and 3 commented: “We are proud of the fact that at Sky 1HD we have a long tradition of running all of our US shows as close as possible to their US TX date. With something as hotly anticipated as the LOST finale it makes sense to show it at exactly the same time as millions across America will see it.”
