Which demonstrates how much more the NRL could get if every game had a FTA component. It would be worth 100ks more viewers for each game that is now on Fox only.
Clearly your concurrent games excuse, whinge & whine has less impact on total ratings than the NRL's 5 games without FTA.
But of course the reality is that is what we have and until it changes...... you know......like.....change the scheduling....we deal with it and move on.
I call bullshit. Every market gets around 80 FTA games per year, the same number as Victoria. Perth and Adelaide get around 88 FTA games per year but most are on 7mate.
The only real difference is the AFL show home teams into Perth and Adelaide. Yet the Broncos are shown into Brisbane on FTA most rounds anyway so the advantage is minimal in comparison.
In the end the NRL have a big advantage on STV because of higher subscription rates, exclusive games, more prime time games, and every game shown on it's own.
Not to mention only 16 hours over 4 days compared to the AFL's 21 over 2 days.
