3.91 million veiwers out of a population of 20,000,000.

This cannot include people at clubs,pubs and other ratings such as people at work who recorded it for later viewing,etc.

Wouldn't be great for live I'd say. A Wed morning isn't the best time. It was repeated on SS1 at 10 there, should be more.

Is 3.91 million viewers the most watched domestic League or fumblefest game ever?

2005 Tigers Cowboys was bigger, as well as Swans West Coast the same year.... The AFL grand final was the biggest ever because 900k+ ppl in sydney watched, thats when they decided on GWS.... Will never happen again though, the swans won so nobody cares anymore

Funny.... GWS can make as much noise and prey on as many children as they can and in 3 nights they lose all that momentum with SOO....

Hope AD chokes on his Suvlaki this morning reading the ratings reports

1.15m in sydney for SOO.... Whats the average for GWS? 30k?

 

[Lockyer4President!]

State of Origin sets ratings record
May 24, 2012 - 11:40AM

Nine Network records the highest ratings ever for State of Origin as it grabs first three spots on the chart.

More than 2.5 million viewers watched Queensland defeat NSW in the opening game of this year's State of Origin, making it the number one show of Wednesday night.

The State of Origin opener, which was played in Melbourne, attracted 2.515 million viewers in the metropolitan markets, which is the best ever audience for a State of Origin game.

The audience peaked at 2.843 million and a further 1.4 million viewers watched the game according to the regional figures.

The post-match review, with just over two million viewers, was second while the pre-match show pulled 1.565 million viewers, giving the Nine Network the top three spots in the ratings.

Seven News had to settle for fourth spot with 1.399 million viewers, while Nine's renovation show The Block was fifth with an audience of 1.345 million.

News and a current affair programs filled the next four spots with Nine News in sixth place (1.285 million), Today Tonight in seventh (1.233 million), A Current Affair was eighth (1.170 million) and ABC News came in ninth (998,000).

Cooking reality show MasterChef held up well on the sport-filled night giving Network Ten its best result by taking 10th spot with 975,000 viewers.

[Dresden Dan]

Government may legalise live online gambling‎. That would make live sport much more valuable.

so the trolls from there keep telling us lol

seems they can't get enough of the greatest game

 

[user_nat]

Can't really blame them.

I wonder how many more viewers it needs for Nine to show it in HD.

 

[Brutus]

Ray Hadley before the midday news said "Rugby league is wasting its time in melbourne" He said this after reading out the Melbourne Origin ratings.

I wonder if Ray also thinks that the afl is wasting its time in Sydney. How many afl games rate 313k in sydney apart from the gf?

They seem to be quiet about last night's ratings thus far.

 

[docbrown]

One is long term, the other is a overhyped TV spectacle

92 games.
33 years.

Not long term.
