Last year in Melbourne for the opener it was 212k for ACA down to 19k for NRL but that’s without the Storm. So you can argue that there’s a solid 40k exclusive F2A viewing block for Storm games, in addition to a roughly 20k minimum general base.61k in Melbourne with no afl on
180k were watching a current affair in melb then switched two thirds switched off
What you should also consider though is that last week channel 9 lost 100k viewers when RBT started. Yet the NRL match this week rated on par with ACA this week. So there was no net loss. That 120k lost in Melbourne was made up for by the 180k gained in Sydney and Brisbane. The post 730 shed from F2A viewers to steaming etc is a major problem for networks. Only key programming like sports can stop it.
