Grand Prix rated well. Our two games easily outrated three fumbles games on fox but they beat us on fta (which I think includes at least two games but who knows?). Our fta was obviously low but an nz team at prime time is never pretty. All up about 1.2 million (that’s a guess) for our two games including all platforms.

It is hard to get a true gauge for AFL FTA ratings. SA had a different game the rest of the country
F1 would of taken ratings off all others

 

[Perth Red]

Massive numbers for F1, they are really flying in that sport since being taken over by the investment group.

No NRL in top 20 metro ratings? Was Bulldogs or sharks the Ch9 game?

 

[Vibing]

How do you figure that? The AFL total looks way higher

I think he means attendance & TV combined .... & the only one way higher in that dept is the NRL

SA shows the Adelaide's team. Does it get combined to the Kayo version of the same game?

Yes. in this case neither matches involving the adelaide teams made the ratings lists. It can happen when they are standalone.

thanks for all your hard work on analysis @The_Wookie

pretty clear that if you're not friends with News Ltd you are going to slowly enter obscurity and irrelevance, something the a-league and super rugby pacific are now experiencing.

I can see if Ch10/Paramount got NRL, Aleague, EPL, NFL and F1 its on its way to a very strong sporting package that would drive its FTA and streaming well above most others.

seems like F1 is doing fine. very interesting times for the major codes in Australia though. if you were a soccer fan i think you're starting to watch and attend AFL, NRL and NBL games again, or possibly for the first time.

the reach of News Ltd on all platforms cannot be overstated, even though it's early days in season 2023. the NBL saw a surge and it looks to be continuing in other sports.

for us as NRL lovers, i think we need to embrace the constant circus and either focus on the 80 minutes or inhale all the bile and be grateful.

I`m going to wait and see the trends in broadcast viewership throughout the year before I draw too many conclusions from the crowd figures though.

AFL and NRL having record season starts, NBL finished well, BBL finished well, It really just does seem like soccer just suck for crowds

not enough data.

not enough data.

Hahhahaa

 

[Nerd]

its part of the post because at some point someone requested it. sorry for your inconvenience

No worries. Thought it was just some lame attempt to make the fumbles figures seem more relevant.

NRL 2023: NRL dominates AFL in Queensland TV ratings, massive numbers for Dolphins-Broncos​

The introduction of the Dolphins has triggered an epic NRL broadcast ratings boost, with last week’s Battle of Brisbane producing a TV ratings bonanza.

The Dolphins-Broncos derby blockbuster attracted an extraordinary 1.3 million viewers as the historic Battle of Brisbane helped the NRL destroy the AFL in the broadcasting turf war in Queensland.
News Corp can reveal the birth of Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins has triggered a TV ratings bonanza and given the NRL an expansion strike weapon in their fight against the AFL for the hearts and minds of Queenslanders.
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan put ARL Commission boss Peter V’landys on notice a fortnight ago when he declared Australian rules was on the verge of dethroning rugby league in the vital Queensland market.
“AFL – within a year or two – is on the brink of being the biggest code in the state,” he said.

But broadcast figures obtained by News Corp show the NRL is celebrating record ratings in Queensland thanks to the dawn of the Dolphins _ and is thumping the AFL in the process.
The Broncos’ heart-stopping 18-12 win over the Dolphins in last Friday night’s inaugural Battle of Brisbane was watched by a staggering 1,395,719 viewers across all platforms including Channel 9, Foxtel and their streaming services.
The Broncos-Dolphins derby entered the top five most-watched NRL games in TV broadcast history since official figures were logged 28 years ago.
The Brisbane metro free-to-air audience for the Broncos-Dolphins derby was 246,000 – more than four times the 59,000 that watched the AFL’s Melbourne-Lions clash on the same night.
On the back of the Broncos and Dolphins’ flying starts to the 2023 season, NRL broadcast ratings in Brisbane and Queensland are up a staggering 186 per cent and 130pc respectively.

They are extraordinary figures which have rubber-stamped the NRL as the premier code in Queensland, prompting V’landys to hail the ARL Commission’s decision to expand to 17 teams as a resounding success.
“The figures from the Dolphins-Broncos game are unbelievable,” V’landys said.
“I just hope the momentum of the Dolphins continues and keeps producing these incredible results.
“You have to hand it to Wayne Bennett. He is a walking marketing machine and this couldn’t have been done without him.
“The first Dolphins-Broncos derby was everything we wanted it to be and to see the commencement of the rivalry and how the fans and everyone in the code embraced augurs well for the future.
“It’s early days and we never get ahead of ourselves, but if these TV ratings are replicated through the season, then the benefits of expansion has exceeded all expectations.”
The Broncos’ gripping six-point win over the Dolphins was watched by 681,000 fans on Channel 9.
Fox League recorded 382,000 viewers and with a combined streaming estimate of 332,719, TV ratings data suggests the River City Rumble at Suncorp had a total viewership of almost 1.4 million.

The Lions-Demons clash at the Gabba was watched by 840,000 AFL fans on Channel 7 and Fox. Estimated streaming of around 220,000 delivered a total viewership of 1.06 million – well shy of the Dolphins-Broncos derby.
A TV industry source said the addition of the Dolphins as the fourth team in Queensland has been a massive coup for the NRL in combating the AFL in their sporting turf war.
“The data shows Queensland rugby league is absolutely flying,” a TV ratings spokesman said.
“Rugby league ratings have been down in recent years in Queensland but this year has been the best we can remember.
“The Dolphins-Broncos derby was an outstanding success and one of the most watched NRL games in history.
“More people in Queensland than ever are watching the NRL.
“The Battle of Brisbane has taken rugby league to a new level in Queensland.”
Dolphins super coach Bennett was blown away by the interest.
“It’s great to hear the impact we are having,” he said.

They talk about us like we (QLD / SEQ) are a battle ground. There is no battle. We are Rugby League here always have been, always will be. If there is a battle it would be like a 15 year old smashing his 8 year old brother in an arm wrestle.

I know it is written to get clicks etc. but the AFL are no chance if they think they'll one day dominate here. The game is supported by ex pats, that's it. Yes, there are shit loads of them here but not all of their children will follow AFL, a good percentage will assimilate into the dominant culture which is RL.

I know this for a fact because I'm one of them, both of my parents are Victorian (the shame, I know - don't worry though, I'm a born and bred QLDer). My dad played AFL at a decent level being a first grader for Southport. His whole family (all living in QLD) were AFL tragics. My mum's family still lives in Melbourne and we had regular trips down there for Christmas' etc. All of them AFL tragics too.

This all had zero impact on my brother and I though, because we grew up watching the QLD state of origin heroes, we grew up as the Broncos were entering the comp and as they quickly grew to be the dominant club in the 90's.

It was devastating for my dad when I told him as a 6 year old that I wanted to sign up to play Rugby League for my local club Wynnum Manly. But he took me a long and before too long he was taking me to Broncos games and getting into it himself.

AFL is an ex pat game here. Yes, some kids will stick with their family and become AFL tragics, but most will either watch both or assimilate and follow the NRL because it's cool to do so here.

f**k Fox. Cried poor than gave a shitload to the AFL. I initially wanted vlandys gone after stuffing up the deal but he has the game flying right now. I just hope he's holding a grudge and will get the game what it's worth next time. He must be seething that fox played him for a fool to put money in AFL's pocket. These ratings mean we can walk to paramount and offer a massive base of fans that will follow the game to paramount+

The good thing about V'landys messing up the negotiations is his ego. You can guarantee he will not sleep until he has rectified the wrong.

Absolutely spot on there brother and the bloke is obviously a natural born hater, he thrives on having an enemy, it would motivate him.
