maybe if you had more teams in more cities you'd be able to do this too
lol no but but butting..
it actually looks worst for the AFL
3 games 2 beat 1 game
one game at 1pm live into Adelaide/Sydney
one game at 3:20pm live into melbourne
one game at 4:40pm live into perth
while all games being live of FOX attracting more viewers from other states.
so they were not all at the same time, yes some overlapping
Quite pathetic really
you know very well it isnt 3 games, its only one game into every city.
As for 3 games into 3 cities, this is often a disadvantage. For example the Crows v Swans game on Saturday night was one of the games of the season yet was only shown into Sydney and Adelaide. The rest of the country was forced to watch pathetic Carlton in a boring one-sided game. If the Adelaide game had been shown nationally it would have rated far better. The foxtel ratings prove this with the Adelaide game rating around 3 times the Carlton game.
The AFL simply cant avoid this with so many teams spread across 5 cities. Simple fact is over 1 mil watching 3 hours on a Sunday arvo at the same time is miles above what the NRL can produce =D>
Very true what Pussycat said.
Yes 1 game into every city, Picking the best rating game.
and if other states cant watch on FTA
not a problem will just catch it on fox.
you could of watched the Whole port v giants game and freo v kangas game.
without over lapping
one FTA and one on fox after each other..
heck you could of watched 3/4 of the pies game
and flicked it over for the kangas game and watched half a game..
it all counts.
No, the Pies v demons was early in the 3rd quarter when the Kangas started.
As I explained with the Crows game, often the better game is only shown into a few markets which actually decreases ratings.
The NRL have the ideal setup where they can engage their entire metro audience by showing the Broncos vs a big Sydney club, all in prime time and all in the one game.
The AFL can never engage all metros in one game, and never in prime time because of the 2 hour time zone difference,
