Rugby League , State of the Union

[Raiderdave]

As Daniel Green has pointed out regarding tv ratings for the AFL and NRL.

The above figures, of course, only take into account the capital cities, with Oztam ratings - being the currency by which television programs are bought and sold - only measuring the capitals. Most of the Rugby League persuassion would argue that the NRL has a far greater representation in the regional areas than the AFL. This is undoubtably true, with the decentralized states of NSW and Queensland encompassing large regional areas of Rugby League loving folk. But is this regional area, which, in Television terms makes up approximately 30% of the market, enough to claw back the 25 million viewer deficit (and a deficit in viewing time of 115 million hours?) Not by a long way.

a post written by a giggleball pud puller 5 years ago is your proof ?
he says

. But is this regional area, which, in Television terms makes up approximately 30% of the market, enough to claw back the 25 million viewer deficit (and a deficit in viewing time of 115 million hours?) Not by a long way

but fails to put up the actual regional figures from that year to prove his point

he just says .. they don't
without any figures to back up his claim ..... what a w@nker

theres no dispute
Rugby League whopped AFL in 2011, as they did in 2010 & 2009

whopped em good

There are no regional figures, Raiderdave. You are lying. The figures I quoted were correct.

there are ....

try this site .... thinktv.com
or this one

regionaltam.com / neilsen television
that one actually has regional ratings for tasmania .... which apparently don't exist . but actually do

enjoy

ThinkTV?? That bunch have a reputation for gross inaccuracy. Dump them.

RegionalTAM fails to cover large chunks of the regional Australian mainland, and is therefore also unreliable.

So in effect, there are no regional ratings.

you mean regionals in WA & SA ?
they mostly covered .... about 90% in the metro ratings for Perth & Adelaide
a fact

so no
they're all there

[Topper]

No they are not. 90 percent? That's a flagrant lie.

[Raiderdave]

No they are not. 90 percent? That's a flagrant lie.

have a look at the oztam coverage maps

theres next to nothing left after these are counted in WA & SA

about 200K in WA
& 150K in SA

thats it

[Topper]

I know the maps, and they themselves are not accurate, particularly in South Australia where they claim part of the York Peninsula as metropolitan. That is false promotion and should be reeled in.

Did someone mention Danny Green LMFAO.

[ParraEelsNRL]

12 million more than AFL with less FTA games shown into two states only, oh the shame the shame.

Muhahahahaha.

[enarelle]

Winning the TV ratings for the third year in a row by ever increasing margins shows just how well the game of rugby league is going. It will only take minor improvements of coverage into SA/WA/Vic in the new TV deal for the 15m margin to become 30m

[Topper]

Excuse me, both of you, but the AFL won the ratings this year by 13 million (85 million to 72 million). See the ratings on this website. I'll look back to 2010 and 2009 if this website kept the same statistics.

to comment on wether or not they make up the difference ... he needs to say what they are to prove his statement , not make a flippant remark without the figures to back it up

he doesn't
because ..... they don't
