Bit low on Fox I'd think?

Can we get Kayo numbers? If not that'll leave big question marks over viewing audiences for all codes. I think I heard they were up to 100k subscribers.

i watched the BB most of the time and flicked over between overs and a few other times

Solid, and its a concept that should build over years...

 

[Dakink]

I watched from a fifo camp.... does that count

I think they need to cut the ceremonial stuff in half. It does not need to go for 20 minutes. 10 is still too much.

it's an interesting question on kayo. is foxtel releasing these separately or as part of their foxtel numbers?

on the game, i think the change in concept might have seen less interest initially as no NRL stars would equate to that. but what about NZ viewership? any ideas on that, surely some popularity over there?

Does the NRL release viewing numbers for the trials on their website last weekend?

This clown argues there has been a “massive exodus of fans from the game” based solely on comparing ratings of one game to that of different game from last year

don't know on that either, anyone? i suspect if/when streaming becomes material we will start to hear about it.

Quality source. The weed.

International tripple header on November 2nd in Eden Park Auckland will be virtually hidden from the eastern seaboard tv viewing public of Australia. The games(Kangaroos v Tonga, Lions v Kiwis etc) will be on during the afternoon*(Australian time)whilst events like Darby day races are on in Melbourne. So the tripple header will be concealed from the most lucrative tv market in Australia due to such timeslots. Perhaps the kids may be able to watch it but the mainstream public will not. Once again the administrators have seen to the constrainment of the code internationally. Very poor scheduling again!

RL hasn't been played at Carlaw Park for decades and the triple header certainly won't be.

Also, why will they be concealed exactly? Do you have the broadcast details for these events? I'd imagine the league will be 9 and the racing on 7.... so what?

Most people are out and about. This is not a prime timeslot!

He is still harping on about it today.

He fails to mention that it's out of season, is still a very new concept and MOST importantly competed head to head with a Big Bash final that included a Sydney team. (for the first time ever)

I would assume that Kayo sports would be putting a huge dent into the ratings also. A lot of people that only had foxtel for the NRL would have cancelled and gone to Kayo. I know i have.

he is also saying that the charity shield was -31% from last year. i'm a dragons fan, and it is usually a big deal. this year seemed to slip past a little, but in fact we have Bennett at the Bunnies now, i would have thought it would be bigger.

i can only link this to de belin, or perhaps it is an aberration. who knows. it's not a positive, but it is only a trial and it was taken out of the city and to a regional area (Mudgee) so perhaps that affected?

Yes. Agree . The charity shield wasn't pumped up like it has been in past seasons. Interesting. If the focus is on football from the mainstream media then we should expect good ratings figures despite a Thursday night kick off for the opener.
