That's what cultists do. I'm sure it will also be spouted endlessly in meaningless PR spin pieces from the Church of Fumbleology aka AFL HQ.

Ive had this out with folks over there a couple of times now. No one Ive written with or for is buying into the change. I dont know any ratings people that trust the data, and it wont be gold certified for at least a year.

Nines PR releases are full of reach data too - especially around the NRL grand final and origin. Ten/Football Australia have done it for socceroos ratings for years. FIFA were trotting them out during the womens world cup. This isnt just a AFL/Seven thing.

No it's not just 7 and AFL but you can be certain that both will use it to announce a 'victory' this year. I'm just as critical as when other sports and networks use it too. It's not an AFL vs NRL thing. It's a FTA trying not to look like it's dying thing. But they're going to force it down everyone's throats. You need to stop viewing Virtual Oz as a ratings system and understand what it truly is -- a propaganda system for FTA networks.

I get that - but I also understand it as the one place we are getting any sort of data from. I mean its not like you are going to take Roy Morgan seriously now is it...

The crap I had to go through to reopen my Ladbrokes account was invasive and bordering on harassment. That’s just a portent of what’s to come.

Ladbrokes are a bunch of fkn merkins. Invasive and thieves.

If you win big they will block your account and not pay.

Biggest bunch of merkins in Australian gambling.

Fox BVOD is just Kayo figures right?
So going off the earlier article 443k of the 838k figure for the Manly v souths game. So Kayo representing a 52.8% of total Fox audience.
And for the Roosters v Broncos - 786k total fox viewers - 389k Kayo viewers. So Kayo representing 49.5% of total Fox viewers.

Obviously need far more data points to be confident. But to find total fox audience you would generally double the BVOD figures.

Is this on the right track or am I way off?
