2018 - AFL / AFLW - Australian Football TV Ratings

[Terry]

They're only worth what the networks are willing to pay. If they paid us more they value the product more overall which includes all your mega popular rep games.

You are the one who has tried to apply the theory of hrs..AFL games go longer so ratings should be multiplied by1.5.

It's absurd .
Totally absurd ...tell me ..are ratings averaged over those 3 hrs
& averaged over 2 for RL
If so
Your theory is like most other crap you post ...absolute rot .

Its not a theory, its fact. A program is watched 'more' if it rates with similar numbers but goes for longer.

If the NRLs 3 games or 6 hrs of TV on Saturday rate 200k each on stv they total 600k. The AFLs 2 games shown at the same time over 6 hours could also rate 200k but end up with a cumulative total of only 400k. Yet the same size audience watched TV over the same 6 hours. Its a misleading result. The way to adjust for this disparity is multiply the AFL audience by 1.5 which then accurately reflects the same audience size watched both 6 hours of TV.

Thats the way to accurately demonstrate 'most watched'

Great pal. Show us any ratings agency or TV network that applies your mad professor x1.5 theory to any ratings anywhere at any time. Good luck with that. When you come up nada take yourself off to the jungle pal & look for the plot you've lost!!!!

You seriously dont think the networks take into account a programs length of time?

Wow Terry, that's an idiotic claim

[pussycat]

One day the length of your game is a good thing the next its a bad thing. Depending on what your arguing that day

If longer matches means more ratings (more viewers) why do they break there games into segments?


Would'nt a longer game mean that in the final half an hour you could just as easily lose viewers as gain them?

Ive always said a longer telecast makes cumulative totals misleading. Our 27 hours at comparable ratings to your 16 hours means we had a similar audience for nearly twice the length of time. Saying they are basically the same in value or as a gauge of popularity is ridiculous.

Last saturday is a perfect example. 18 hours of AFL v 6 hours of NRL yet counting raw stv ratings figures the NRL looks like it had more viewers on stv. Ah, no. 6 hours of nrl is equivalent to 2 games of AFL, which is reasonable viewing on a Saturday while still doing other things. 18 hours of sport in one day is absurd.

Stop with the bullshit. Where not in your fishbowl now. Many time I've heard you whinge and whine about how much harder it is to maintain ratings over the length of your game.

On Saturday You had 6 'progams' we had 3. We had more viewers for our 3 programs than you did for your 6. That what's so funny . Your game is as boring as bat shit is what it means.

Origin 3 , a 100min program, was the most watched program last year. Not a one dayer on the list.

Wall to wall coverage allowing people to watch there game and one or two others. Isn't this what i've been telling you all along? The two channels allow the majority of PTV viewers to watch all they want to watch!

If our game is so boring why was the highest rating game of the round an AFL game?

You dont think having 18hrs of one sport in a single day is detrimental to the average ratings for each game? As i said, watching 6 hrs is realistic, watching 18 hours is just not feasible, so the average plummets

You guys clearly dont want to take length of program into account because it means our product is not only most watched, it's most watched by a massive margin.

[pussycat]

Our game has more than just one good game and is not followed by a bunch of loony cult members. The Saturday night games got 300k on PTV.

Turn the Farkin TV off if its that big a deal - Ooh. I didn't invent your game! One minute its a + the next its a - , Baah

As I just said. the most watched program in 2017 was a 100m program. So as far as I'm concerned its dealt with!!

[NlolRL]

100m game is your biggest event of the season, so that proves nothing.

I have no issue with the length of our game. However, it must be taken into account when comparing ratings.

As for you having more than one popular game, we do too which is proven by the fact we win almost every FN despite playing different teams.

[AFLcrap1]

& applying your looney theory to tv rights means the length of a game must be taken into account when discussing tv rights .
We are far far more valuable per hour .

We are far far more valuable per hour .

Of course it is, plus advertising opportunities during the telecast, time of scheduled games ie prime time, control of the schedule, exclusivity, advertising revenue, rep games etc etc

Thats obvious

100m might be the length of all RL games but there are plenty of other events out there. For example we have just watched the commonwealth games . The night session (probably 3 or 4 hours) will not be viewed by more than Origin - Rugby Leagues 100m offering.

If you have so many popular fixture then why do you get smashed in the ratings each round ?

I have no idea what your point is about the commonwealth games. Yes they had sessions over 3-4 hours which means they were far more watched than a program going for 2 hours with the same ratings figure.

And we dont win every ratings week because 1. Every game bar 1 is shown concurrently, only 1/3rd are in prime time, and 27 hours of telecast is more watched than 16 hours which isnt accounted for in gross ratings figures

[pussycat]

Your Saturday night game nearly always rates lower than our Thursday night And your Sunday game more often than not does to.

And on PTV you have extra FTA Which makes up for any losses due to overlap.


And when a similar amount of games is shown you consistently lose.

[NlolRL]

Your Saturday night game nearly always rates lower than our Thursday night And your Sunday game more often than not does to.

Yet funnily enough our Saturday and sunday games are shown against another game on fox, plus on days where 15hrs then 9hrs of games are shown on the same day. Its not because the games are worse in quality than friday. Quite often the sunday arvo games are way better
