    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    I wasn't questioning the importance of advertising to the respective business models. Someone else replied in similar vein further back. Again, I don't disagree with the specific point. Maybe just speak for myself. Personally, I'm more interested in measures of overall popularity like "most...

    By choice? British explorers missed a trick with Tas. Should be called The New Isle of Wight.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    I'm more than prepared to cut Bigfumblers some slack. RL is in my DNA. Every reason to think AFL fans are likewise parti pris. Everyone fights their corner. Creative tension bestows mutual benefit.

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Reach ratings help confirm the belief on Bigfumble that attendances accurately reflect the relative popularities of AFL and NRL. Whereas Average ratings largely confound it. Reach is a gift horse for AFL. Could even be classed as extra contra in the deal with Seven. When PVL was appointed, his...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Just breezy reconnaissance at this stage. I'm half tempted to join. Quite like the sound of this thread - "Does the AFL have anything to fear from the Matilda's recent success and the NRL's TV ratings" Apostrophe in the wrong place. Thought Fumblers were better educated.

    SL Stadium developments

    Back in the day at Station Road Swinton, there was a standard admission charge. Once in, you could buy a transfer to the main stand. Aside from that, you could watch from any part of the ground you liked. It's obviously harder to provide that sort of flexibility in modern all-seater stadia, but...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Some posters have said all that matters is what advertisers value. If that were true, this topic would be a private concern for media companies and sports governing bodies. Not much to discuss on a RL forum. Most fans don't care how many ads are seen during FTA games. We're more interested in...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    BTW, there's a poster on Bigfumble styling himself "PenrithGWS". His contributions to the debate were "NRL killing it" and "Ratings (NRL) stronger than ever". Curious, in light of the "Penrith Fan" character on L.U. What is it with Penrith?

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    From my limited understanding, you were always deemed a viewer if you watched a single minute. But official ratings were previously calculated as an average of minutes. Reach is an aggregate of all individuals watching one minute. With the obvious consequence that longer programmes are rating...

    SL Stadium developments

    A lot of essential action in RL takes place within confined spaces. Which often makes it hard to appreciate at the ground. A try-scoring short-side play can involve multiple hands, split-second timing, amazing skill levels. Absolutely brilliant when you see it in slo-mo on a screen. But in real...

    2024 Crowd Watch

    The late Sunday and early Friday games severely hamper the effort to build an NRL attendance culture. This is a key test for PVL in the next TV deal. If broadcast partners insist on crowd-killer timeslots, make damn sure they pony up for the privilege.
