2026 TV and Streaming Ratings thread

[newc18]

He does stupid comparisons like comparing week one afl to week two nrl

Never included pacific cup or even origin when it suited him about talking about total ratings to make afl look better

He accused Andrew abdo about lieing about the nz tv numbers too lol

I just don’t trust his conclusions

Since I found Ritchie it was like striking gold

Plus he was spot on about total ratings data too guy knows his stuff

That's completely fair.

I enjoy both of thier material but I wish sports industry would tone it down. People are allowed to have an opinion that's different to yours.

The same tosser was gleefully pointing out nrl crowds in year one were lower than claimed

I wasnt gleeful about it, just wondering why the figures from the Vegas Stadium body were lower at the time. It was explained to me by some league journos and I moved on.

No I dont.

I report the home and away season ratings, finals and origin and pacific cup ratings separately AND together.

No i said we didnt know if they were reach - which is the most common way ratings data is reported in NZ - or average at the time.

I just don’t trust his conclusions

And thats ok.

I dont mind Ritchie, and we talk about ratings and stuff fairly regularly, we've shared plenty of data - even if we didnt for a while. He does what he does and its good. Ive no issues with him at all.

Wait there, I heard on the ABC radio that 100 million people watch the AFL GF.
If there are 4 M in Australia and 8K in the US, where are the other 95,992,000?
