Fight Club - Football TV Ratings (AFL vs NRL)

[Fred]

Yeah it wasn’t there a couple of afl games pretty much shown at the same time ?

looks like it was to me you bumbling halfwit

[Fred]

What ??

[leeroy*NRL*]

so as predicted before season start...

NRL will be kings of Streaming... and it is clearly looking that way..

[leeroy*NRL*]

another interesting take is 9now...

With streaming going up quite abit this year through Fox platforms

i wonder how 9now is going, being that they broadcast 3 games per week on 9now Streaming.

There are a number of factors:

- longer telecast lowers the average. Even the media were suggesting the AFL's increase in ratings last year was partly due to the shorter game length
- games are also on FTA whereas NRL games are exclusively on Fox
- the AFL is popular on TV overall, but less so on Fox. You only have to look at our FN ratings, where we can rate around 1mil but barely get 200k on Fox, to see AFL fans don't use foxtel to watch their sport in anywhere near the same proportion as NRL fans. Whether it's the fact NRL was well entrenched on pay TV well before AFL, or that AFL is more available for home teams on FTA, the difference is clear

Lack of interet is the one true reason that AFL is less popular on Fox, Kayo and social media!

You've rated over 1m twice this year, which will be perhaps, the amount of times you rate over 3m also!

The Nrl/AFL gap on PTV is increasing!

The Broncos are on FTA 80% of the time. How often would someone from NZ get Foxtel?

Your excuses are just that , excuses for a very lame sport/cult!

And you ratings have been getting poorer for years. If they did increase last year it was because more matches were shown in prime time.

lack of interest doesnt add up given our FTA numbers

Gives people something to do rather than the boredom of living in Melbourne, but People aren't prepared to pay to watch that crap!

The Fox total numbers for RL are incredible. NRL ave 372k V AFL ave 213K last week. 160k more than the AFL per game. Nearly 1.3M more for the round. With numbers like these RL will smash the AFL for the year!!!

But I'm starting to think Peter The Great should have held his fire last year when he signed Fox up for 5 more years. On the evidence of this years numbers the value would be through the roof. Hopefully he factored in some form of performance based payments.

Rugby League was already going great guns last year without much kayo or FOX streaming factored in.

It was also beating the AFL comfortably,

I would be very interested to see what deal was done.

Yep. He's kept it very quiet. He did the deal under the threat of the game going bust due to Covid so I give him a bit of leeway. And I don't think anyone predicted the total Fox numbers that are coming in.

800k for last nights game - better than expected.

[Terry]

800k for last nights game - better than expected.

Not bad for the two low profile teams that played. Will be well over 900k with kayo added!

[Fred]

800k for last nights game - better than expected.

Do you think having no AFL on would have helped?
