2024 TV and Streaming Ratings Discussion

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

Sevens FTA coverage of the 2024 AFL H&A season has seen 138 matches with a 47.423 million total for the season. The per match average audience is 344,000, with the per match reach average 1.482 million, The broadcast average is 499,000. (Broadcast is the Seven programming per VOZ)

Assuming "per match average" diverges from "broadcast average" due to the broadcast figure sometimes representing two simultaneous games, using the per match figure is more ethical in comparisons with NRL.

AFL fans would argue that a greater number of FTA games, particularly on Saturday, drag their averages down.

Ratings for afternoon AFL games are especially poor. Neither Seven nor AFL appear to derive any great benefits from these broadcasts.

Assuming "per match average" diverges from "broadcast average" due to the broadcast figure sometimes representing two simultaneous games, using the per match figure is more ethical in comparisons with NRL.

This is true, but Seven cares about the national broadcast numbers for its programming which is why i provide both.

AFL fans would argue that a greater number of FTA games, particularly on Saturday, drag their averages down.

Ratings for afternoon AFL games are especially poor. Neither Seven nor AFL appear to derive any great benefits from these broadcasts.

The requirement to broadcast local teams in their home states exc victoria harms that average quite a bit. These games are typically shown in one or two markets and almost never in Melbourne.
