I agree with most of this - 1 point is that home games into QLD do not always mean people who often follow another team get to watch their team -if Brisbane and/or suns are playing at the same time - this was my sole reason for getting foxtel when i moved to QLD - as couldn't watch a Collingwood game or the blockbuster on FTA as would play a Suns or Lions game.leeroy*NRL* wrote: Sun Oct 26, 2025 1:08 pmIsolation, Isolation Isolation >>>makingnrlfansgowacko wrote: Fri Oct 24, 2025 7:06 pmThe $ rates of the cost of advertising, exclusive to one network or shown on both, times of games and shown in isolation.

TV DEALS >>>
NRL 2023 to 2027 is not comparable to the AFL's tv Deal which is 2025 to 2031
NRL is looking at signing 2028 to 2032
That is Right and the up coming deal will reflect this on the TV deal > not a deal signed in COVID
and the NRL should not be that far ahead ????
HOW can it be when the AFL has 70% more advertising opportunities than the NRL
not only on FTA but also on FOX>
quarter time half time is almost double the length of NRL and three quarter time.
there is more Advertising in 1 quarter of AFL than the entire NRL broadcast.
add this through the year to every game and it is HUGE
If you look at the AFL clubs they dwarf the nrl clubs in advertising dollars also
So make your any variable you want
THE AFL and Networks worked out the best for TV, Money for the Clubs
and this is there format>>
AFL have more FTA games into home markets of home teams to maximize viewership
Many different factors which all favour an AFL game>>
Length, breaks between quarters, adverts after goals> (Nothings favours the codes of UNION, LEAGUE or Soccer.
Packer CH9 once said the most valuable advertising slot was after each over of Cricket.
which is very similar to the AFL> happens frequently and your tuned in
TV RIGHTS KICK OFF

yes in ways, though they target the majority overall (which generally equals better figures)Fred wrote: Mon Oct 27, 2025 4:27 pmI agree with most of this - 1 point is that home games into QLD do not always mean people who often follow another team get to watch their team -if Brisbane and/or suns are playing at the same time - this was my sole reason for getting foxtel when i moved to QLD - as couldn't watch a Collingwood game or the blockbuster on FTA as would play a Suns or Lions game.leeroy*NRL* wrote: Sun Oct 26, 2025 1:08 pmIsolation, Isolation Isolation >>>makingnrlfansgowacko wrote: Fri Oct 24, 2025 7:06 pm

and there is not many times Collingwood will clash with the SUNS or the Lions
as they generally have a popular draw overall (as they rate well)
in saying Collingwood rate well into QLD in primetime slots.

Re: TV RIGHTS KICK OFF
Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo hold secret London meeting with IMG executives over NRL broadcasting
Record television ratings this season has now thrust the NRL into an incredibly powerful position heading into discussions.
There are genuine hopes that the new deal, given rugby league is now the No.1-watched sport in Australia,
could pull between $4b to $5b.
V’landys and Abdo have since taken key roles in talks for the NRL to take control of Super League for at least five years. A formal partnership with Super League would allow the NRL to bundle the Super League rights into the negotiations and provide more certainty around the World Club Challenge and the international schedule
