2025 Streaming and TV Ratings Discussion

‘State of Origin every week’.

only 18000 viewers difference in AFL v NRL in Perth and KO would be 6pm

 

[James Rick]

I bet the AFL’s looking at these numbers and going WTF have we done wrong? I'll tell you what you've done wrong, you've tried to tap into the Sydney - Brisbane market and you've failed miserably

They really screwed up by not giving the licence to Southport Sharks, who are a real QLD club with a proud history. Instead the Suns were created with the purpose of serving Victorian business interests, and they wonder why the people of QLD haven't embraced the Suns. The majority of Suns fans are Victorian ex pats who flocked to the Gold Coast.

Sydney derby will have rated well wouldn’t it ? ? ?

 

[Billythekid]

Great ratings for the storm in Melbourne. I know I bang on about this but Melbourne viewers have been trained to watch on paytv over the years so pretty confident the numbers would be good on fox/kayo as well though we’ll never know.

51k in Melbourne watching Storm
28k in Brisbane and Sydney combined watching AFL

Granted, no Brisbane or Sydney teams were playing in the AFL, but that's dire for them. AFL taking over, means taking over, not 28k combined in the county's first and third largest cities.

If the Lions and / or Swans are playing they're probably struggling to beat that Storm number anyway after 40 years and Billions of dollars.

Can't wait for the 5 capital city breakdown on these ones. Storm 51k, we'll see how the Victorians pretending to be NSWelshmen derby goes

 

[Billythekid]

Pretty poor ratings for the AFL across 2 games.

Yeah, Broncos Eels was a cracker too. Ref could have given us that last minute try, he could have just applied to the James Tedesco offside interpretation from the night before.

Crazy how even the comp has felt this year. Tipping has been an absolute f**king nightmare.

Nightmare like the AFL’S ratings. Yet they still claim they're taking over the universe

 

[The_Wookie]

Friday Night #NRL has an aggregated audience on Nine of 12.211m for the season at an average of 581,000. This is up 1.75% YoY. Head to head this season the NRL trails the AFL 4-15 on Friday Nights , but this was the first NRL Friday night win since May 9th.

Friday Night #AFL was the lowest rating Friday night of the year (either AFL or NRL), despite hosting two matches including the Sydney derby (on NSW tv only). Friday AFL has an aggregated audience of 12.451m on Seven, at an average of 622k per broadcast. This is down 5.03% YoY

Maybe if the afl reported each game separately the nrl would be winning more Friday nights like they do on Thursday ?

Cheaters never prosper

Not actually up to the AFL, its up to Seven. And they choose to do it this way. And almost every occasion except 1 i think, the NRL has won the night anyway so doesnt change the head to head much

We know why the afl broadcaster and afl sycophants do it that way

Of course, for the same reason the NRL did it and scheduled the Friday Night Broncos for years, for the ratings and the rights income.

But but but the nrl did it ten years ago

Afl love aggregating stuff together to give a bs picture (eg Telstra contra and tv deal) so I’m not shocked

And you like ignoring or excluding things that dont fit your worldview too. Its bs - to folks here, but it obviously works at the corporate level so here we are.
