If there is 1.5 million people watching a game, what are the other 23.5 million Australians watching or doing?

In other words has the percentage of Australians watching league kept pace with the growth of our population

Probably doing what they do every other night 23.5 million people aren’t watching a top rating television show. Something else.

Only just over 11m voted, so 12.5 million are avoiding fines

For next time they just might get the message ,rugby league more than matches fumble ball on Pay TV.

And not pay them a premium, but treat each code's ratings on their merit

Ratings arent the be all and end all with Foxtel.Subscriptions are far more important to their model at this time, and the fact is we dont know what those are.

Yeah like ignoring other family members and playing with their mobile phones.

Foxtel don’t care if you watch none of their channels, just as long as you pay to watch nothing.

Surprised at the Storm rating, they normally get decent Fox audiences.
Is the 2pm Sunday game generally tracking lower than the rest?
I wish the Fri 6pm game was crashing but sadly it isnt.

Foxtel figures have been amazing this year.

 

[Canard]

Danny Weidler must be busted up about this.

Using a sample size of one, he was convinced that the NRL ratings were going to tank due to the off season controversy.

Is Weidler on the Vicky Kicky pay roll?

Na he thinks people follow sport for what the players do when not playing.

So just a fargwit.

Surely TV ratings for the NRL on Foxtel have a direct relationship with subscriptions.Constant high ratings ,relate to numbers of subs..Constant poor ratings suggest either a drop off in numbers /subs.
Pay TV ratings even for Fox help induce advertisers to jump on board.

And if you believe the poor TV ratings for the A League are not a concern for both Foxtel and the A League, then ratings should be thrown out teh window as being useless.

Encouraging for our game:

just bear in mind that the AFL figure i posted originally is incorrect - they are up 3.25% on last year, still down more than 10% on the previous year.

Ratings for Foxtel are borderline useless in a commercial sense if you arent selling advertising.

Understand, but subs alone for Pay are obviously but one side off the revenue source, advertising for Foxtel is still cream.Remember initially it was a subscription only set up in the early days.

Why would ad agencies pay decent money on entertainment for crap ratings even if on Foxtel.And especially with the talk/rumour, justified or not, that they(Foxtel) are looking at Super Rugby and A league ,as a possible discard.

Do you have figures for subs and advertising revenue for Pay Tv. here?\
I do know this, if the Pay TV mob lost the NRL ,they would be committing commercial suicide here.The churning rate would be horrendous.
