RLWC TV Rating Thread

[whall15]

With how shit TV rates these days I think that's pretty good.

That wouldn't include Adelaide and Perth's 7mate ratings either. A really solid number.

More than the Bloodyslow. Again.

But down on what the Anzac test has always got. Which is why having no Roos games mid year will do untold damage to the game.

Impressive Melbourne numbers

 

[Marlins]

Any way we can get the overseas ratings
NZ/UK.

 

[Heritage XIII]

Bet Fox Sports wished they had the RLWC. 56k for the reigning A league champs last nite

so does that mean it was the top-rating program on all channels for Fri night ???

 

[King Ben]

Before anyone asks, the 2008 opener between Australia and NZ rated 879k for Channel 9 (which was broadcast on an hour delay).

879k nationally (with regional areas) ???

 

[Cman]

No football code in this country eg Wallabies, Soccer, AFL (internation Rules) this year will get FTA TV rating as high as the NRL last night. The Final game will be a ratings king.

Pretty pleased with those numbers

Argh don't remind me we had that f**king delay.

Metro only.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

That peak number is massive too

 

[Heritage XIII]

Gotta congratulate 7 for promoting the RLWC & games on all its platforms.

 

[Coparugby]

It was also live on the BBC. That’d pull in a decent figure even at the time of day it was broadcast.

 

[morningstar]

f**k yeah

Good point! I note that other codes have these cities included in the overall tally? Doesn't seem to happen for rugby league!? Something that requires looking into I suggest?

It's a flaw in the ratings system - the game rated 847k on Channel 7 and 69k on 7Mate but because it isn't classified as a "simulcast" when it's on different channels, the ratings aren't combined (MediaWeek and other outlets do a good job at combining these when reporting but other places don't).

Compare that to the Bledisloe Cup which was broadcast live on Ten regardless of timezone last week, so there is no split.
