What have you got left? SOO I suppose
your Monday afternoon game won the ratings..
and your point is.??
the NRL will win the overall ratings for the year..
like they do every year
and the crowds will be between 15k and 16k avg for the year.
the NRL may win the ratings tally for 2016, but what does it mean?
We have 9 games per round, 1 more on FTA, yet you have a longer season, you include rep games, we only have about 100 'exclusive' games shown to each city per year, you have around 200, our games average over 3 hours, yours over 2, etc etc
the vastly different scheduling for both codes means a total comparison is pretty meaningless. It pretty much boils down to who earns the most cash from their ratings.
Yes I know there are differences in scheduling..
we may have a longer season by 3 weeks.
but when including our rep games
the games amount is identical.
Fact NRL season games 201 + 3 SOO + 2 Aus v NZ games on Avg = 206
Fact AFL Season games 206
yes the AFL got more in Tv rights, but its not hard to see why..
1 hour game longer, 70% more advertising..
did u watch last nights game the Second half had 2 adverts
in AFL including 3/4 time and adverts in 2 quarters
would be well over 30 adverts
lol and you wonder why you get a touch more money
you should be getting a Billion Dollars more
youre completely ignoring the fact the NRL shows 200 exclusive games per year while the AFL only has the equivalent of 100.
On Saturday I could watch 9 hours of AFL games, and you could watch 6hours, yet if we looked at totals only we would both be counted as watching the exactly the same
Youre comparison is too simplistic. Sydney has a far higher advertising market which balances the AFLs more ads
I get your point.
Lets use this Saturday for example
2 games up against each other.
1 game live in to Melbourne
1 game live in Perth and Qld
St Kilda v W-Bulldogs Live into Melbourne
Freo v Suns _ live into Perth
if it was just the one game on that night how much would it rate
for example if it was suns v freo live into Melbourne
and via versa St Kilda v W-bulldogs live in to Perth
(see if your in Melbourne and don't give a rats about the St Kilda game
you simply just watch the other game (if you can) on fox.
see sometimes putting 2 games up against each other
with home teams beaming into the home state at night- works out better
If this happened in the NRL
Saturday night for example (same time at 7:30)
FTA game was Parra v Titans - rates in excess of 800k
Fox Game at same time 7:30 ( sharks v Storm )
it would still rate fairly high.
With this we have just got a game on FTA rating high, as it does
and a fox game rating in the 200k mark.
( feel free to add your opinion)
