NRL 2017 TV RATINGS!

[Heritage XIII]

NRL needs a reboot in Sydney, the crowds and tv audiences are woeful for the games supposed heartland.

New & refurbished stadiums will do that particularly when the dreadful ANZ is reconfigured

 

[El Diablo]

IF this game was played on FTA only in Newcastle and Canberra, you would get another 187k viewers... why is this so hard for NRL tv stations to fathom

fmd you're stupid

 

[Diesel]

Would those shitty Sunday viewer numbers be due to Mothers Day?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

fmd you're stupid

Newcastle and Canberra both have regional stations.. what a crazy world it would be where a Newcastle fan could actually see their team play without fox...

They can see the swans and gws without paying a cent..

And based on the numbers fox would lose no subscribers

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Will Sunday FTA be with us in 10 years ??

143k in Sydney is awful ..

Are people moving to Fox or just switching off? Be interesting to know the trend...

NM, just saw the next post. Interesting situation though, not long until FOX is outrating 9 (i wonder if 9 will fix their shitty coverage or just blame something else...)

 

[The Mad Hatter]

How many are moving to handheld devices too?

I know quite a few people watching it that way now.

Pretty interesting figures. It shows channel 9s ratings have been on the decline for some time now even when fox was dropping in numbers as well. Pretty much shows that the fault lies with 9.

That's also a massive increase for fox ratings and I'd imagine they'll be just as big this year, they should be paying through the nose for league.

Still it would be nice to stop the ratings bleed from 9. Whilst 9 have been shit to our game and they deserve the poor ratings it still makes us look bad. As of right now FTA remains an important part of the broadcasting deal and if our FTA ratings continue to drop it makes negotiations more difficult down the line.

Up until last year the NRL FTA audience decline was in line with the overall decline in FTA TV. FTA audiences have become fragmented with multi-channels & digital viewing platforms. Last year total NRL audiences were the highest they have been in 5 years, FTA fell, but was more then compensated for by the growth in STV. The sky isn't falling.

Did you happen to notice that it was no.1 program on STV?

Fox got a very sweet deal, nrl has driven massive subscription increase last two years for them and they still forked out less than for AFL. Nice work Grant.

Overall NRl tv audience across fta and STV is down by around 5% on last year, how many may have switched to regular watching on digital we dont know.

Enduring the game on Ch9 tonight as Im in melbourne and I can see why people have turned away from Nines coverage!

According to who exactly?

Bigpoofy who these jokers like Perth Dickhead and Cumberland Tosser rely on for all their Rugby League news

Yes i did, but the problem is FTA.
You must also remember it is 5 capital city ratings. Their is a law before the Senate to make it possible for regional and city networks (ie nine ) to combine. This will show great ratings results as country NSW and Qld make up a substantial population. I estimate between 2.25 to 2.5 million.

No, it's not. The same number of people are watching as previous years, but they are fragmented across multiple platforms, primarily STV. The Sunday game had ~470k watching in metro areas, which is entirely in line with 2015 FTA metro ratings for Sunday games. People haven't stopped watching, they have changed how they are watching. It's really not that complicated.

I havent watched a full FTA game since 2012...

I put up with the shitty broadcast when i thought 10 was going to win the rights, but i gave up after that. Ill go back every so often, but its only 10 minutes before i feel like braking the tv.

Yeh, its 9s fault...
