Melbourne home games in Alice Springs where capacity is 7,200 at TIO Traeger Park

R18 2019 vs West Coast = 7,164
R10 2018 vs Adelaide = 6,989 ...

Do we know what the advertisers pay more attention to? What is the reason for going to Reach - must be some reason behind it.


The free to air networks wanted to see total viewers reported via reach numbers, and I think the most simplest explanation I’ve seen was over at Big Footy where a poster ...

Wow, 4 million fans attending AFL games compared to 2 million for the NRL

Saturday afternoon footy was shown in only 3 markets, and in one, on the secondary channel. Seriously Terry wake up

Round 12 of the AFL continued with the 4-point win for Carlton over Geelong seeing ratings rise to 717k – up from 694k last Friday and Thursday’s low of 539k. That is the highest overnight Friday result for seven weeks and second highest of the season.

Wasn't the AFL game also on Fox? Was the SOO game also on Fox on Thursday? Just curious.


Yep, AFL was also on Fox/Kayo, whilst Women’s RL Origin was exclusive to Channel 9. When you add Fox/Kayo numbers to the AFL free to air figures, I suspect it would have been a win for the AFL. Shame we don ...

Without Fox ratings it’s hard to know - particularly with greater limited coverage on FTA for AFL. These FTA ratings are just that FTA - do they include streaming on 7? As that is another newish factor.


Lots of free to air tv ratings also unavailable /not reported for the AFL, particularly ...
