Fight Club - Football TV Ratings (AFL vs NRL)

[NlolRL]

Given the AFL have 27 hours of content per round to show to 5 cities over 3 time zones i think the current arrangement is about as good as they can do while still encouraging fans to attend games.

Having said that the schedule is nowhere near as ratings friendly as the NRL's

There's opinions then there's facts .
When you can't accept facts & make excuse after excuse after excuse you've strayed into cognitive dissonance .
An example of an opinion .
I think RL is a far better game than afl ..
Your opinion would be the opposite .
That's fine .everyone has an opinion .

An example of facts .
RL had more viewers than any other sport this year .
The numbers cannot be disputed on the data collected
There's no arguing with that unless you suffer from .....cognitive dissonance

here's where you've gone off track:

- I have never disputed NRL gets more cumulative ratings
- In my opinion cumulative viewers does not indicate more viewers, just more chances for the same viewers to watch.

This is why this metric is not used by anyone else to compare different programs, except NRL people

You are mixing up facts with opinions

In your world how would you explain this?

Are you trying to support my point? The Guardian compares averages and the others are either NRL sources or responses to NRL claims.

Up you should have stopped after the highlighted bit .
Because that is the only fact in your rant .
Your opinion is worthless when trying to explain facts .
You keep making excuse after excuse .
Bad luck ..afl lost .

I never said my opinion was fact you moron

You came ahead in a pointless comparison no one else knows about

[AFLcrap1]

You have argued for the last few months against the only fact in this debate

[leeroy*NRL*]

I know this is a Footy Site>>

but would be approved in i put a cricket ratings in a thread. ?

good to get a good comparison of cricket up against other sports.
regards to figures and attendances...

especially that it goes up against A League.

[AFLcrap1]

Sure why not
After all it is the only sport that could rightfully claim its AUST's national sport .
Has a huge following ( lol well when they are performing well )all across Aust from people who follow all 4 winter codes .
The national team would be supported & far more well known then other national teams .

So yeh ratings are important ...especially up. against the a league.

[leeroy*NRL*]

ok yeah, there is a section in Other Sports,

will just join it with the BIG BASH LEAGUE AND AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL GAMES>
for Future Threads.

will be good to see for future figures.

[Beaussie]

So the AFL does rate better on tv than the NRL.

Would explain the bigger $$$ tv deal for the AFL too eh.

Rugby Australia figures showed Super Rugby matches played in Australia attracted an average audience of 71,000 last year, up nine per cent on 2017, a season that was dogged by speculation over which Australian team would be cut from the competition and by a record poor performance from the NSW Waratahs, the team representing Australia's largest fan base.

But further Oztam ratings obtained by the Herald showed that figure plummeted in the five metropolitan cities, attracting an average pay television audience of just 50,000, which was less than the A-League's 51,000 and a fraction of the NRL's 164,000 and AFL's 167,000.

[AFLcrap1]

Lol beat me to it .

[leeroy*NRL*]

NRL is King in Regional areas
and these areas are only growing...

As at June 2017, 32.7% of Australia’s population (a little over 8 million people) resided outside greater capital city areas and 28.2% lived outside major cities.

32.7% of Australians lived outside greater capital city areas
Despite common misconceptions, the population of regional Australia is rising. Between 2007 and 2017, the population outside of Australia's major cities grew by 10.6%. The ABS projects that the population outside capital cities will grow by 26% between 2007 and 2026.

[leeroy*NRL*]

regional areas exist outside of NSW and QLD, a fact not reflected in supplied ratings on twitter.

Yes True..

Though NSW AND QLD make a huge chunk of it.
and Growing at huge rates compared to other regional areas.
in other states.

but yes i take your point.

[Beaussie]

A-League now being beaten by NBL that was apparently broadcast in eastern states at 10:30pm.
