They can still tell how many people are streaming the link.

It depends whether they're interested in that though and look at those figures or whether they're more bothered about hits on the website and count it that way, you just don't know so it's probably safer to watch it on the official site so they don't get pissy and make out it's not worth their effort

Analytics will still tell them how many hits the links are getting...

I have a feeling they may not be interested in streaming figures but website viewing figures. As the website will get x amount of views a day and they want it at x more views a day. Something like that anyway.

They don't care - they'll look at the website hits between 11:30 and 2AM, because of advertisers etc

I don't see why anyone would watch on VLC anyway. Far easier and more convenient on the website.

I have to use VLC since it's restricted to me, but yes everyone else should just watch on the site.

The VLC player is much easier, can be resized, volume changer and snapshot taker <3

If you don't live in the UK, you can't watch via the website.

If the website hits were how they measured the livestream views (it wont be) then just give the website a hit and then watch it however you want because thats all watching it via the website would do.
