NBN does Northern NSW
Southern Cross does Southern NSW at the moment (SC replaced Win)

Not all regional viewers are counted in the ratings. Shame because they seem to be the most hard core viewers with large regional areas. There are as many regional viewers in Qld as there are viewers in Brisbane.

Yes QLD is different in that as many people live outside the capital as in it where as Victoria is basically Melbourne. That makes virtually another capital city in numbers in regional Queensland who are all mad Rugby League fans.

I've also stopped following the ratings numbers a bit. Until they include Kayo numbers it's all a bit pointless.

yes it is simple as that. Both the 5 metro and regional DO NOT reflect the true populations numbers . Equal weighting to Melbourne with Sydney is a farce. Provable by census data. Look at the site ABS. The regional date is low also. So BOTH are incorrect. Maybe Nine should not pay or withdraw funding for this data ( Neilson) Until they update their methodology, maybe you can Ten Tv to play along for the ride, after all the ABC is beating them nowadays, so any change would be beneficial and probably reduce costs also, as they could concentrate on the QLD, NSW markets with over 50% of the population with HQ's in Sydney with the number 1 rating cites Brisbane and Sydney providing the winning edge. Fact again.

Melbourne Geelong is 63km as the 'crow flies', not 75.

As part of being in the Melbourne Greater area you have you have to satisfy a Geographical committee where rules such as distance between main built up areas, and other links to be consider d as part of a larger area. Check out the ABS for such rules.

From the Martin place PO to Central Coast stadium Gosford is 49,701metes or 49 Km as the crow flies.
Use Google Earth Pro and use Ruler to get these precise measurements. In the Age paper their is a journalist always uplaying Melbourne's population 'hoping' to have a larger population with credit that goes with it. However to pick up the 200k population will take some years as sometimes Sydney can have a larger yearly increase. Anyway lately Melbournes yearly increase has been around 10k to 20k increase over Sydney which means it will take (15- 25 years) to catch up IF and it is big if, everything stays the same. Reading the comments that go with Journalist story Melbournites have realized the central coast is included in the numbers, as if this is a outrage and should be not allowed, whereby as stated before the Geographical section ABS ( which have strict rules ) allows it because between Palm Beach ( Sydney Norther beaches/ Many eagles territory and Home and away location ) is around 5km from Central coast Woy Woy/ Gosford by Ferry ride and so is included in the continuous Geographical rules, so is part of Sydney.
Distances between Bendigo ( with miles/k's of nothing in between ) to Melbourne is 131 km as the 'crow flies' . While the distance between Newcastle CBD and Sydney is ONLY 116Km. Remember between Newcastle and the Central coast there is anther population of 225 k called Lake Macquarie with council chambers at Speers point.
Also I live 69km from Sydney in Thirroul which is NOT part of Sydney but part of Northern Suburbs of Wollongong, anther population of 300k or 400 when you include Shellharbour/and Shoalhaven.
So for the ratings to have the same amount of 'seats for Melbourne and Sydney (with a 200k ABS advanatge and when we include a NON ABS city like Geelong (220k) we can cover that easily Wollgogong/llawarra with say 350k. So any which way we got shafted, the ratings seats numbers should always be greater for Sydney and when add anther locality/city like Wollongong or Lake Macquaire it just gets bigger. They are mad Rugby league followers too.

Everybody forgets about Lake macquarie

Isnt this is all partially offset by RegionalTam having double the amount of boxes in regional NSW - a total of 3,198 homes (Queensland 812, Northern NSW 700, Southern NSW 570, Victoria 651, Tasmania 285 and Regional West Australia 180) representing a potential audience of 7,859,300 individuals

Well NSW should have 'double' the regional population of Victoria so they should have double the seats in the regional Tam. Note it has slightly less than double.

https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/p...ry-population/sep-2020#states-and-territories

NSW population 8,166m
Victoria population 6,680m
Sydney capital 5,367m
Melbourne capital 5,159m

If we take out capital cities population we will be left with Regional population.
So NSW 8,166 minus Sydney 5,367m = 2,799 (2.8m rounded) So 2.8m people live in regional areas of NSW .
Victoria state has 6,680m minus Melbourne 5,159 leaves 1,521m people in regional Vic.

Total NSW regional 2.8m minus total Vic regional of 1.5m, leaves or = 1.3m more regional persons in NSW.

https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/regional-population/2019-20

So their is 1.3m more regional persons in NSW than Victoria.
So NSW should have double ( it's slightly less than double) the seats of (regional Victoria seats 651) and that is the case with NSW having 1271 seats.
The above population and seats could be larger ( NSW) because Geelong is counted in 'metro seats' and , however, counted in population of regional Victoria thus inflating the regional Victoria population numbers. (according to the ABS)

Until we know of kayo is growing it’s hard to say if this is cause for concern or not. Having said that the population is growing at around 1.5% per year so you’d hope to see a bit of growth annually.
