Of course Victorians will watch the Storm in a GF. But Dragons v Roosters (or whoever)? No thanks. Why would the casual sports fan all of a sudden care about these teams with players they've never heard of, whose games are normally shown about 1am?
Junior Masterchef will beat it by about 600,000 viewers.
Take a look at the GF viewing figures for Vic for last year. Now come back and tell me the casual sports fan in Vic has no interest in watching RL!
What Ch9 did last year in cutting off the presentation was the ultimate insult and that alone would be enough for me to tell them to go and take a flying frick fat the next negotiations. NRL is the number 1 sports TV product, if they want to treat it with such disresepect and disdain they can go and get.....

probably because you have WIN down there I'd say..............
That means country victoria could possibly get it earlier also :crazy:
PR here are the Ratings for the NRL GF last year.
Look what the Channel 9 News rated in Melbourne when they cut short the presentation.
Chanel 7 & 9 News the week proir to the NRL GF (27 September 2009):
Chanel 7 & 9 News the week after the NRL GF (11 October 2009:
Notice anything:lol:
(The Ratings can be obtained on the TFC TV Ratings' Thread)

That is why the football is on from 4-6pm. They get a boost in the ratins 15 minutes priopr to the news commencing, and hope that perople watching the football will be too lazy to switch off.
Same in VIC, the afl coverage on 7 concludes at 6pm
I will soon get my answer in regards to national direct feed for digital offset channels

This would also mean that 9 wont cut to the news and leave off the last 3 overs in the cricket!
I wonder if this means us poor bastards in Melb will get some decent League coverage (Im not even fussed if its only 2 hour delay or so)
^ it has nothing to do with Melbourne.
It's Channel 9 Melbourne.
