Your claim that ch9 lose less viewers than ch7 is based on what exactly? Your FTA ratings on FN are poor compared to ours toopussycat wrote:Wont help in the long run!
For whatever reason channel 9 loose less viewers to Foxtel than what Ch 7 do. Probably has to do with ch9 new hi resolution channel.
Can And fumleball fans tell me why we stil average 35% more on Fox even with this disadvantage. And also why is our tally up more than 20% each week , without sky? ??????????????????????
2. Your game rates more on foxtel overall because a) all your games are shown in isolation, where as only one AFL game is, b) all our foxtel games are shown simulcast on FTA, which we know decreases foxtel ratings, where as 5 of your games are shown on foxtel only. Notice how these non-simulcast games far outrate your simulcast games? and c) You also show 50% of your games in prime time where as we only show 30% in prime time
Of course you'll reply with your usual 'but but but', despite the fact you asked for an explanation. However, this is your way of saying you have nothing valuable to add to the discussion.
As I said I don't know the reason. But channel 9 simulcast matches lose less viewers to Foxtel that what ch7 do. For every match Ch 9 simulcast they lose about 1 viewer for every 4 to Foxtel,, while ch 7 lose 1 for every 3.
Maybe they prefer Ray Warren?. Maybe because league doesn't have as many adds? whatever the reason not as many people switch over.
It makes no Farkin difference.
simulcasting gives a slight boost!
All you do is use but but excuses so how can I not use the word but but ?
The total viewer will be the same, wether there watching The football on Fox or watching on FTA.
