Fight Club - Football TV Ratings

[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.

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.

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

5 SEVEN’S AFL: THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Seven Network 728,000 33,000 475,000 29,000 121,000 70,000
AFL Fox 263k

14 THURSDAY NIGHT NRL LIVE Nine 411,000 247,000 0 164,000 0 0
NRL Fox 230k

R1 AFL Opener between Carlton and Richmond drew 1.231m viewers, up from 1.137m in 2018 (+8%). Metro was up 10%, Regional up 28%, Fox down 4.3%. (Hello Kayo)

The AFL's game easily beat the NRLs opener which unlike last night had no other sporting opposition. The game started at 4.30pm on a weekday in Perth too.

The AFL easily won last night too with the NRL probably not even making 1mil.

The AFL rated more in Melbourne than the NRL in Sydney and Brisbane combined.

So that is 1-0 in favour of the AFL

[ParraEelsNRL]

Didn't the first game of the NRL rate 1.2 million too last week?

Derp.

Just under 850,000 viewers tuned into Channel Nine's coverage of the Storm's win, with another 333,895 watching on Fox Sports – who enjoyed a 27 per cent ratings increase on last year's season opener.

So who will win the ratings tonight?

The NRL have 2 Qld sides and the AFL have 2 Melbourne sides.

The NRL play their Goliath club the Broncos, and the AFL have their equivalent the Magpies

Both are at the same time. Who will rate more?

[leeroy*NRL*]

Could be pretty close.
tight contest between the two may determine the figure>

I think i will say the AFL will get the points by 50k
