2025 Streaming and TV Ratings Discussion

[Perth Red]

I’m sure they do , in a city of 5-6m but to suggest they have 1.3m ? Anyway I’ve always thought the difference between a fan and a supporter is that the supporters will go to games and invest in their team with memberships and merchandise

Roy Morgan counts any person with a passing interest as fan lol. its the biggest bs poll I’ve ever seen!

 

[Perth Red]

I note posters on Bigfooty suggesting @The_Wookie is biased towards the NRL in how he shares the data, yet you have posters on here suggesting he is biased towards the AFL..

most fanatics will call bias if the data presented doesn’t support their faith lol.

 

[insert.pause]

No Foxtel does its own ratings through Kantar, which uses return path data technology.



FTA ratings are suvey based, aggregated tv ratings and aggregated crowds are not what the Roy Morgan survey data is for.

For instance, its possible its the same number of people going to more matches that affect aggregate crowds, and the same number of people watching more tv. It IS possible to get to this conclusion from the available data in both surveys.

It is contradictory that every metric in the code has risen and yet apparently one phone poll, done purely to garner publicity for RM during nrl & afl finals, determines an apparent 11% drop in the number of people who have watched a sec of a game on tv. We literally just had a record audience for a PF of more than 2.7m including the most watched broadcast in Foxtel history and yet less people have apparently been exposed to the game on tv... It is highly unlikely that both can be true.

He’s previously admitted his bias towards the AFL though.

ive admitted that Im a lifelong Carlton supporter. If its not a Carlton game, I generally dont watch. Havent seen an AFL Grand Final in years lol.

That has not changed the data i put out for all codes. Not just the AFL or NRL. I dont create the data. I dont do the surveys. I just report them. People have an inordinate fondess for shooting the messenger.

I couldn't care less about bias as long as the data is accurate. Everyone is allowed an opinion even if you don't agree with it.

Yap yap yap. You could type underwater I’m sure. I’m referring to your tweets along the lines of - I've never denied (or hidden) my biases.

Or have those posts been deleted?

What about when accurate data is cherry picked or presented in a certain way to appease certain biases?

I could tell you that the sky is blue and youd have a fcking problem. I dont post for the likes of you.

Massive number for bledisloe

Sure a lot of league fans watched it with nothing else on

Would make them think about taking the sport into summer to get some clear air and not having to compete with the big football codes

Which would allow players in the northern hemisphere to come and play in their off season and improve the standard

Which gym is that?

 

[titoelcolombiano]

893k is impressive for Union standards but considering the Bledisloe is a marquee event, not that impressive in the context of SOO, Finals and GF ratings.

 

[Wb1234]

Which gym is that?

Plus fitness campsie

They have nine on one tv, ten on another and another some soccer channel

Makes cardio go by faster

Good ratings but not 100million in 132 countries.

Unless it’s a very close game I really don’t see the NRLGF beating that AFL number, I think we will land around 3.7-3.8m.
