World Series draws its second-lowest TV audience ever: What the ratings mean
The World Series averaged fewer than 12 million viewers, its second-lowest total of all time. But MLB is still doing just fine.www.google.com
Must be the ratings system that's flawed, and not the fractured nature of TV and streaming options.
" Channel 10’s consistently dire television ratings remain a headache for the US-owned broadcaster "
" Ten also recently missed out on the AFL broadcasting rights that were up for grabs.
" While Ten and its streaming partner Paramount+ are believed to have tabled a lucrative 10-year deal, the AFL chose to stick with incumbent broadcasters Foxtel and Seven.
" Ten’s sporting woes don’t end there – the network last year signed a $200m five-year deal with A-League to air matches on Ten and its streaming service 10 Play and also Paramount Plus.
" Despite this, Ten moved A-League from its main channel to one of its lesser-known channels, 10 Bold this season. "
" Nine Entertainment has reportedly stumped up a record sum to extend its broadcast deal with Tennis Australia, with the network set to ink a $500m agreement with the sport’s governing body that will secure the rights to air the Australian Open until 2030. "
Somethings got to give.
I don't think it will, Channel 10 is perfect example of why a FTA network needs a major sport
Ten needs a major sport to get noticed.
Womens games are getting great ratings too
the biggest thing from this World Cup is all the free to sue coverage it got in England which will see a boost for rugby league in coming years (which it needed)
Just set their pay at a level which matches their economic contributionIf only the women's game could make money, Tennis aside it really struggles no matter the sport or standard
that'd be about 400K with Kayo live with heaps more later in the day ( like me )
Massive numbers
There absolutely would be. I’d like to see Australia get it again and have some actually international league in the mean time to build interest (4N and the like).You’d hope there’d be interest in a southern hemi RLWC in 2029 with some serious coin from Australian tv for it given the numbers.
The new CEO (when are are appointed) of the RFL needs to look at these figures and give more support to Rugby League in the Midlands and the South Of the country, and set up more community clubs with junior sections
Lets not forget that they had a team from Toronto Canada in Super League, but the clubs then appointed a Goose called Robert Elstone to look at ways to improve the image of Super League and the Goose thought is was a good idea to replace a team from Toronto Canada with Leigh which is a district of Wigan, and despite being in the job 2 years the only other thing he came up with was signing up for the players to receive Pizzas after the games. The Goose didn't even cover the wages he was on let alone his staff wages.
So many viewers came from out of the heartlands
but now it’s back to Leigh in super league, Wakefield building a new stand and England knights playing France
