NRL cannot kick broadcast rights can for as much as AFL

[Raiderdave]

Ratings depend on Sydney and Melbourne. NRL may be doing well in Sydney, but they are going **** in Melbourne. AFL do better in Sydney than NRL do in Melbourne. I see that the NRL bogans are trying to ignore a respectable publication purely because of who owns it so they have excuses when they don't get what they want!

Even King agreed with the article, so you other bogans need to pull your freaking heads in!

oh really

Storm V Tigers ratings in Melbourne 86K
Swans V Carlton ratings in Sydney 85K ( & thats way above the norm for the swans too ... they rarely crack 50K )

Storm winning and on top of the NRL ladder whilst the Swans were getting belted by Carlton. And yet you only win by 1,000. Nice

Meanwhle last night, a good result and massive improvement in Sydney.

4 Saturday Night AFL Ten 804,000 100,000 397,000 66,000 103,000 138,000

Swans always broadcast at prime time so everyone knows its on...
Storm hardly ever shown at a decent time so no one would have known it was on
make it regular .. & the Storm will win every time ..

[Raiderdave]

You keep repeating this line about AFL ratings dropping by 30% over the last 5 years whilst the NRL rose by 15%. I'm yet to see any proof of this. Just because you keep saying it, doesn't make it true.

the ratings for the last 4 years are on this site you muppet
have a look for yourself

Well for a start, you said the last five years. This site only shows the last four. Secondly I do not see this pattern you're alluding to. If anything, I see the AFL continues to dominate the NRL week to week in the nationwide audience stakes.

its a constant 6% drop a year ... so 2011's figures will be 24% lower then 2007 , & 30% lower then 2006
if you can't see it , you're not looking .. cos you don't want to

[TLPG]

It's still higher than the NRL in case you missed it, Raider!

[Raiderdave]

It's still higher than the NRL in case you missed it, Raider!

for Metro ratings
of course

AFL is telecast into all 5 capitals during prime time
the NRL .. only 2

AFL has 4 games a week on FTA
NRL only 3

if they couldn't win that battle .. they should give up

course
past the metro ratings

its a whole world of hurt for fumbleball

Rugby League was watched by 132 million people on TV in 2010 TPLG
the AFL .. even with an Extra Grand final

only 124 Million

oh dear

Will you ever stop posting rubbish?

Just found the following official report regarding tv audiences and am starting to think the regionals for the AFL must be huge with an average of 4.16 million viewers each round. It's a shame that is only part of the picture because as we know many parts of AFL heartland are not counted in the regional tv ratings.

Audiences

The 2010 Toyota AFL Grand Final was again the highest-rating sports
program for the year and second highest-rating program for the year
after the fi nal of MasterChef. It was watched by an average national
audience of 3.6 million people on the Seven Network. The Grand Final
Replay was watched by an average 3.5 million people to be the second
most-watched sporting event in Australia in 2010.

Other highlights of the 2010 season included:

» An average audience per round for the Toyota AFL
Premiership Season of 4.16 million viewers.
» The total gross audience for week one of the Toyota AFL
Finals Series was more than 5.15 million viewers.
» Network Ten’s telecast of the 2010 Brownlow Medal count
attracted more than 1.1 million viewers nationally,
an increase of more than eight per cent on 2009.
» Fox Sports’ telecast of the 2010 Four’N Twenty All-
Australian Awards attracted an average 113,767 viewers
nationally, up 16 per cent on 2009.

The top five rating matches for the 2010 Toyota AFL Premiership
Season were as follows:
» Round nine, Collingwood v Geelong Cats, 1.33 million
viewers across metropolitan and regional free-to-air (FTA).
» Round two, Brisbane Lions v Carlton, 1.22 million viewers
across metropolitan and regional FTA.
» Round fi ve, Collingwood v Essendon (Anzac Day),
1.18 million viewers across metropolitan and regional FTA.
» Round eight, Fremantle v Collingwood, 1.14 million viewers

so for 4 games you get 4.16 million.......
is that all ? =D>

we get nearly that for 3

& don't start with we're not all counted cr@p
theres no regional audience of any note in the AFL areas to count
they're all included in their metro figures
IE .. the catchment for Perth is nearly 2 million people strong
theres only about 2.2 Million people in all of WA
pull the other one , it plays jingle bells

& gee

the first origin game in 2010 drew an Audience of 3.588 million

last time I looked
thats more then 3.5 million
when will the AFL stop telling lies & actually put something up that is accuarte .. & factual

[Onions]

They're doing it. Your mob isn't.

what lying about their ratings whilst we aren't

yes ... couldn't agree more

[Onions]

No, NRL is lying, not the AFL. Learn to read, little boy.

I would very much like to know who is right in this little tussle... can one of ytou two provide the evidence?

Each year, week to week, the AFL absolutely dominates the NRL in the national tv ratings. Check the totals for each round yourself over the last 4 years.

When you factor in the regionals, which AFL supporters don't like to acknowledge the NRL is certainly not dominated. Add Test & Origin and theres no longer a difference.

But you overlook the most significant factor - The NRL has 3 matches on FTA TV while the AFL have more than double with 7.

On Foxtel we have a slight advange by having one extra match but we absolutely smash you in the PAY TV ratings. 75 of the top 100 programs.

But you overlook the most significant factor - The NRL has just 3 matches on FTA TV while the AFL have more than double with 7.

Only a total jackass would say that just to try and prove a point and fail!

[pussycat]

Pussycat, ask yourself what pays more. FTA or Pay TV?

Get the answer right and you might see how wrong you just got your argument.

It various smart .... depending on the contract and the amount of maches.

Your last deal saw more come from FTA. Visa versa this time, with Fox getting 5 matches exclusive and sharing 4.
