well that's pretty daft. Of course 2 AFL games with one on fox will outrate a single NRL game on fox only!
but the NRL does not do this > as the bronx have only 16 FTA games and 9 Exclusive Fox games..
And the AFL dont target Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth in the same time slot very often either

True, but we dont either if you live in Melbourne, our biggest market
AFL has games at same time (yes which is a disadvantge) though it helps alot when the game
is broadcast into some FTA markets offsetting the loss.
But as my example showed, the advantage does not offset the disadvantage, often by quite some margin
(if the AFL didnt have the games on FTA at the same time, i would be saying its a huge disadvantage..)
you win some you lose some> its a good setup>>
AFL=Genuis
Yes, it's a clever, but if counting ratings for the round or year, it results in an inaccurate reflection
