Anzac TV war between codes

[matt]

Great business decision by nine,I doff the hat.

 

[taxidriver]

Looks like we have a new moron here.

why would the forum want a new one when you are doing such a stupendous job?

so you think nine doesn't show the nrl because it would rate???

lmfao, what village lost you?

 

[m0nty]

You've got to start somewhere, taxidriver. The AFL have been showing the Swans in Sydney for 20+ years as a loss leader. The NRL are decades behind in their similar incursions into Melbourne as far as TV coverage goes. The recent failures of basketball, union and soccer show that FTA coverage is vital for ongoing success. Gallop and/or the IC must secure FTA for Storm games as part of the next deal. Even if it's only on Go or One HD.

 

[taxidriver]

finally some sense.

and at least you don't trot out this crap about a massive league starved market in melbourne

 

[Flapper]

fact - channel nine don't show regular league games into melbourne because that market doesn't give a flying f**k about league.

is that clear enough for you?

Even though the Melbourne games rate at least double that the Swans games do in Sydney? Which still are shown live?

Even though the rating prove the Rugby League rates higher than whatever "female friendly" piece of sh*t repeat movie they put on instead?

Look at the f**king figures you moron. What a waste of f**king time you are.

THERE'S your sense. Here's some more: You're a f**king imbecile taxidriver.

Nine show absolute trash like crocodile dundee 1 and 2 before the NRL and they regularly get absolutely smashed in the ratings. I would never suggest that the NRL would rate anywhere near the AFL in Victoria but it couldn't rate any worse than the garbage nine usually has on.

In fact we know it wouldn't because when NRL has been shown it at least got decent ratings (far more impressive than the swans anyway).

I don't think there is a massive market in Melbourne starved of league but i do think there is a market to at least outrate the crap they put on. We can get 800K people in Melbourne to tune into the GF so we know there is at least some interest.

Also we know you're bitter over losing to the storm, get over it. One day we will drop off like every other team and you bag us out when it happens. You don't have to take petty cheap shots in every thread with the same stupid worn out lines.

Serisously it must hurt people like you and loudstrat to see us doing so well. Now that our crowds are starting to pick up you have one less thing to whinge about. Hell there is even a good chance that we will average higher crowds than you and parra, can't wait to see how you wankers try and spin that.

Don't worry, they'll try.

 

[Neatoboy]

I'll be surprised if this game is live anywhere! Will check the TV guides tomorrow.

 

[taxidriver]

so then flapper and billy, you trot out the league rates line but nine won't show it.

again, answer the question yes or no

do you believe nine are deliberately showing a program that will rate lower?

My my you are an angry and ignorant little man aren't you!. The fact is that the League audience is untested in Melbourne because its never shown at a decent time.

Apart from Finals and SOO there is no live coverage.

When they actually did show it live two years ago the viewing audience was over 200,000.

I have no idea how well the Storm would rate in Melbourne. But if marketed properly it would have to do as well as the AFL in Sydney - in fact it could not do any worse.

For those of us living outside NSW and QLD this is a continuing sore.

What really pisses me off is Friday night Footy - AUSTAR down here cannot show it before 11.30 pm. Channel nine are to blame - now that is Bull sh*t!

Well put Flapper - Taxi Driver is definitely one of the thickest planks I have encountered here.

By the way GO TIGES!

and you call me angry :lol::lol::lol:

really, the stupidity i see here never ceases to amaze.

you are tasmanian though, maybe i should be more lenient

 

[taxidriver]

Yes.

you should give asic your information.

 

[Flapper]

so then flapper and billy, you trot out the league rates line but nine won't show it.

again, answer the question yes or no

do you believe nine are deliberately showing a program that will rate lower?

Yes, because they're going under a false pretence that women don't want to watch sport, hence the whole "female-friendly" bullsh*t they present.

I've seen and compared the ratings between when they show NRL and when they don't, have you?

 

[taxidriver]

no i haven't

happy to see your material and a source though

i don't understand your reasons though

women don't watch sport yet they show league live in the biggest city in the country?

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Taxi driver (Ray), I think you're in the wrong section, this section is for the National Rugby League, what you're after is here in the time that Rugby League forgot

 

[elbusto]

and you call me angry :lol::lol::lol:

Pathetic response that does not address any issues I raised. And we know why - because you can't.

 

[Goddo]

taxi is full of sh!t.

If they can show the Swans drawing epic 50k TV viewers live prime time, surely the Storm at a reasonable timeslot, not even live, would go down well in supposed "sports capital" melbourne.

Every time league has been given a chance it has done well. Obviously Eddy "F()cking" McGuire has more control on broadcasting than rational argument has. Taxi, or is that you Eddy?
