agree. they seem to have much more in the way of spend/footprint across all FTA as well. back end of the season post origin with saturday night games on 9 should help a lot, hopefully.

When they have Thursday nights (Rounds 1-5 or thereabouts, plus a couple mid-season) they have one more game than NRL, otherwise it's the same, three per round.

The difference comes with state-by-state broadcast agreements - as I understand Adelaide Perth and Brisbane get all their games simulcast from Fox onto 7mate?

ok right, so as a national broadcast, the NRL puts out one product. the AFL puts out a product targeted to their markets. I think you are better off putting one product out to be honest.

Sydney and Brisbane get all their games simulcast, Adelaide and Perth now get 3 games a year each delayed, but the rest are simulcast. In all 4 cases its a mix of 7 and 7mate now.

Afl have 20 games under 100000. A lot of that is to do with multiple games on one day with competing fta but it’s still significant. Our lowest rating game is 149000. The afl had a total of 40 games with less than that.

A fair chunk of that is preseason games. Note as well that

green numbers = matches on Foxleague
red numbers = matches on Foxfooty
blue numbers = AFl clash matches shown on Fox elsewhere.

Given JLT features in this list for AFL, are you able to include the Fox-broadcast pre-season NRL matches?

NRL CS 2-Mar Sat South Sydney St George Illawarra 111,000
(I believe Warriors v Tigers also aired on 502 that day, but doesn't appear Top 20, so rated <54K)
NRL WCC 18-Feb Sydney Roosters Wigan Warriors 33,000
NRL AS 15-Feb Fri Indigenous All Stars Maori All Stars 84,000

All good. Those are just what I could find on TV Tonight, I'm sure MWaus tweeted the NZ-WT figure back in Feb

Thanks for clarifying that Wook. I was surprised so it all makes sense now

Certain posters on Big Footy are not going to like this

 

[Starkers]

NRL is outpacing on regionals on a notional value, which is positive. and NRL is outpacing on an average broadcast which begs the questions:

1. if nine added one or two games, what would it add eyeball-wise?
2. would that affect foxtel?

but there needs to be an adjustment in the total tv audience averages. you can't have total FTA and total Foxtel average for the NRL being higher than the AFL, but when the averages are combined the AFL is higher.

there has to be a weighting on the broadcast numbers comparatively.

Wow, AFL have 20 sub 100k games. Fox needs to give up on AFL and pump its limited money into what works.

But our dear Rupert, at the time of the last AFL Tv deal, stated "we have always preferred AFL the national game".
Well Rupes old fella, it appears the fumbling mob and their ratings, don't appear to be keen on you, compared to the NRL ratings figures.
Can we just say Rupes, karma is a real bitch, and you comments have come back to bite you in the a*se.
