Haha! A very bad memory sits amongst your many foibles beatup lololol!!!!! NRL way in front on total FTA broadcasts. By the way - any comment on AFL fans booing the victim of homophobic slurs pal?? Something? Anything? Good? Bad? Ya don't care? Cat got ya tongue????? Do tell.

If the goal is to compare FTA ratings then aggregation makes sense, if the goal is only to compare match broadcasts then you dont.
