552k on fox for the GWS game that started some time around 6.00?
yeah that seems legit...

 

[Diesel]

How accurate are the Fox ratings?

They paid more for ALF and wouldn't surprise me if Rupert is saving face with an extra hundred thousand added to the figure

There is a massive amount of interest in Melbourne and the AFL States in general around Richmond's long-awaited resurgence.
It's a bit similar to the groundswell of interest for the South Sydney finals run in 2014.

What will the international ratings be like for the grand finals? Last year Warwick Hadfield said on ABC that the AFL gf was seen by 100 Million world wide - that's 5 M in Australia and 95 M who didn't have a clue what they were watching. (I guess it could have been on in every nursing home in the developed world). I will make a big prediction and say that if this was true then the NRL gf will be seen by a billion people

The quality of NRLs finals games has been so much better than AFLs. Significantly. Every game a cracker.

It sh!ts me however that they are getting better ratings and have the media spotlight for a Richmond team. In terms of narrative, Storm with their retiring stars is excellent. But the Cows are like nothing else. Its hollywood stuff their story. Mainstream media obviously does not give a stuff.

Now i know whats it like to be a union fan in Australia..

That means they were accessible to 95 million on one of their 400 pay TV channels they can choose from when sitting down in front of the TV to relax. In that context, 95 million is tiny.

Point of difference is union is a crap code whereas rugby league deserves better and is the best code overall. (I like soccer as well but thats another topic )

 

[Heritage XIII]

The Today Show on Nine, you know the station that covers the NRL, will be doing a live show at Richmond AFL's training ground this Friday. They've done it the last few years while the NRL grand final teams just get a live cross from Tim Gilbert or the like.

A strange decision by Nine as Sunrise do the same thing for AFL, so in effect None are promoting 7's event. No wonder ratings have plummeted for nine.

 

[El Diablo]

they do it every year

9 is run by Victorians

I remember they did it last year, they were referring to it as grand final day. They are utter scum.

"Australia's game"

 

[Heritage XIII]

"Australia's game"

So is rugby league which embraced indigenous Australia & still does, more than the AFL could ever dream of

Drove past South Bank about 3:30 this arvo, there were tens of thousands already there sitting and waiting for Riverfire to start. I'd question AFL's ratings if they are higher than last years

Nobody just nobody outside of Australia has the slightest interest in aFL let alone its grand final.
If there was interest they would have at least one semi professional or professional club out of Australia but theirs not.
They even have to pay broadcasters to televise games in Europe and North America

looking at foxsports homepage you wouldn't even know the NRL GF was on today, one story underneath the 3 main headlines, 2 about afl & 1 soccer.

Well when you take the former AUSTAR customers who were all subscribed via satellite, except Darwin I believe, they cannot be counted at all, its all one way, they had no way of receiving data from a subscribers box. I was told years ago it's just subscribers to package * %, in a grand final because it should/would 'rate' higher the % used is higher. No different to free to air ratings.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Nine, you know the station that covers the NRL.............or the station who runs the NRL. The NRL have apparently agreed to a request by Nine to delay the kick off tonight from 7:15 to 7:30.

SOO starting later than advertised time and now the GF, pi55 this mob and Greenberg off.
If I can be bothered watching any game during the non-World Cup, at least it will be on a channel that will provide a new and fresh coverage.
