    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    Well it's not a secret but the FTA network model is dead. Advertising revenues can't prop them up any more because the majority of that former advertising income has shifted to online advertising. There's 3 things keeping FTA networks alive at the moment: 1. Baby boomers - who will be dying...

    18th club, whose next?

    Ooh. Can we guess it? I'm going to go with Nigel Nofriends.

    An AI Expansion Nightmare

    Edit: I particulary like the Orcas in the middle looking down at the footy, as if it's thinking 'Why the hell am I alive? What am I holding? I'm a monster! Kill me!"

    They fly now! Go keASS! I'm not really sure if it's wise to go with that KKK sponsorship. That famous PNG team, the All Whites That front rower is a bit of a Bear. The Perth Care Bears The Perth Zombears

    I've always suspected that Fitzsimmons likes to collect his own bodily juices in a decanter, then sniff them, swirl them around in his mouth and spit them out like a wine tasting.

    I'm looking at it at both a micro and macro level. Yeah they can run the game to a specific state. But it's not Sunday night. It's Saturday arvo. The gain in Adelaide will be in the low 10k's, if that. There's just not that many people watching TV in general, let alone for the AFL at that time...

    What will be Perth Red's excuse for not supporting the Perth Bears?

    https://forums.leagueunlimited.com/threads/nrl-plans-for-a-20-team-comp.491663/post-16228300 Did we ever figure out which 'white fellas' Pommie Perth Red thinks stole the Australian land? I wonder if Pommie Perth Red can figure out what all these other Pommie bastards have in common...

    If that was the only factor. But it's not and I think you know that. Reality is more nuanced than that. I mean I just had a glance at their draw for this round. 2 games at the same time on a Saturday afternoon. So a casual fan has to choose which game to watch, immediately cutting down on total...

    You're stuck in a loop. I'm not arguing against this.

    Nrl plans for a 20 team comp

    Now let's get this thread back on topic fellas. It seems like SoS Blinken is now okay with Ukraine using American weapons to attack inside Russia. Do we feel that this a sign of strengthening US support, concern about Ukraine losing the attrition war or something else entirely...

    Imagine a regional Australian town where two neighbours have a dispute. Let's say a cow wanders from one field into another and the other neighbour now claims the cow. Both sets of neighbours, instead of getting lawyers or going to the cops, each get a bunch of their mates together. They then...

    You seem entirely hung up on the whole "game length is the only important factor" argument and don't seem interested in the actual reality that broadcasters are facing regarding declining audiences due to competing interests versus time commitments. So let's just leave there, shall we? Lest we...

    2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

    I'm not arguing against there being more ads in AFL. I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I'm arguing that game length affects viewer commitment and that people are becoming more reluctant to watch longer broadcasts of ANYTHING, not just sport. After a quarter in a dud AFL game...

    14th season as the Titans. In contrast the original era Gold Coast teams had 4 names in 11 years. Titans are doing okay and success breeds culture. A few years of regular finals appearances and then they become a hot ticket.
