Fight Club - Football TV Ratings (AFL vs NRL)

[NlolRL]

I'll type slow so you can keep up
an NRL fan whos team isn't in the finals is not locked down , not restricted with where he or she can go , is not as likely to watch games &
we're missing some monster clubs in our finals too , Brisbane .. Bulldogs . Tigers & Dragons to name a few

what the AFL is getting is most of its fans in Vic regardless of who they follow watching .... because theres nothing else to do when you're locked down.

huge factor

finals are in the evening meaning most people are home no matter what the state. Ratings for other programs like the news show this because they rate similar to last year. The AFL is also missing large Melbourne clubs like Hawthorn, Essendon and Carlton

Your attempt to explain poor NRL ratings is very funny

They are if there in lock down states. However a fair % of NSW viewers would be watching from pubs, clubs , eateries and other non rating venues.

There is quiet a bit of rivalry between Qld and NSW . Games between the two generally pull more viewers, Brisbane especially.

And Qld viewers don't like to watch matches that don't involve Qld team. However once the Broncos start to win again the Lions will return to obscurity!

Making the AFL ratings in QLD even more impressive

[leeroy*NRL*]

AFL in QLD does not want expansion from Rugby League it would effect other sports interests quite alot.

the NRL is starting to realize that two teams in a city is better than 1

YES NRL!! that would be right!! YOU ARE ONLY LAST TO DISCOVER THIS

[leeroy*NRL*]

it a mammoth year of losses for the games.
who of which have already taken massive deductions in broadcast monies.
this year is a clear right off in perspective of ratings figures.

(when you get broadcasters Ch7 and Fox. stating that figures are up on 4 factors..)
they are not over ally happy as they know things will be different in the new year..

what makes it funny NLOLRL does not concede this.

I will take the Broadcasters points on board over a punter.

[leeroy*NRL*]

they called the recent Quarter FInals by many one of the BEST Quarter finals EVER!
and was the closest results on record.
take it as you must..

yes it was an awesome first week of finals, but lets be honest, we outrated the NRL by a very large margin

Usually do in finals or head to head

easily outrated most games.

NRL needs its prime teams to match AFL in Finals.
otherwise it is no match.

the lift in ratings for NRL for finals 1st week is not really much of a jump.

be interesting to see week 2

maybe in the boring as bat shit state you live in theyre home tucked up in bed with a cup of cocoa
in normal places , on Friday & Sat nights , people are out living their lives

nice try
another fail

your ratings in Sydney wer down for the NRL and up for the AFL. Make up you mind why these ratings are different to last year....

like i said
in NSW , 30% of virtually nothing .... is virtually nothing for the AFL lol
so a few extra ex pats from down south watched the AFL finals in NSW.. so what

The NRL finals down in Sydney could be any number of things , but they still shat on the AFLs

the AFLs ratings were inflated by VIC
nothing much more , a slight bump in the other states

the NRL is being hurt because of QLD

we more then match them in finals in the past & will again

Just telling it like it is pussycat. You can't handle the truth. Nevermind, it's a common trait with throwball fans and the facts/reality of sports tv rights. You'll forever be living in our shadows.

who can't handle the truth?

1 NRL Origin 3 (3,736,000)
2 NRL Origin 1 (3,478,000)

3 AFL Grand Final (3,418,000) By the way that says 3 not 1

4 NRL Origin 2 (3,381,000)
5 NRL Grand Final (3,255,000)
6 NRL Storm V Warriors (1,807,000)
7 NRL Manly V Broncos (1,668,000)
8 NRL Dragons V Wests Tigers (1,607,000)
9 AFL Colling V Hawthorn (1,571,000)

18 AFL Geelong V West C (1,269,000)
19 NRL Melb V Newc (1,236,000)
20 AFL Carlt V West C (1,217,000)

wanna bet wookie ??

found this in 5 minutes
the finals totals & some other fluff from 2011..... your memory needs some work

this was pretty common back then.

the NRLs ratings only started to suffer when huge areas of our regionals stopped being included about 5 years ago when WIN was sold to Sthn Cross 10 which has far less reach.
Suddenly our regional audience went from double that of the AFL's , to about on par despite the NRL's regional population being double that of the AFLs.
Are we expected to believe that people across the ACT , regional NSW & QLD just stopped watching NRL. Its quite ridiculous.

[baselinepanther]

Just in :

Fri Sub TV #AFL #AFLHawksPies 417,000 (metro+regional) Pre-game 156k Post-game 228k #FoxFooty @Collingwood_FC @HawthornFC


Straight to the top of the list.

So basically just under 1.5m without regional FTA, and all averaged over 3hrs

> >

1.418 Million all up ( when the foxtel ratings are accurately accounted for ) for 2 of the biggest Clubs in the VFL
they have the 2 highest memberships

NRL 899K metro
593K regional

1.492 Million for 1 of our biggest clubs & one of our smaller clubs
put Parramatta or the Dragons on against the Bulldogs
& you could easily add another 150 to 200K to our figures

even with pay they can't to beat us

no wonder the TV execs think our game is the more valuable of the 2 > > >

some more proof wookie from 2012
1st week of finals , friday night games

NRL 1.492 Million no pay tv
AFL 1.418 million .... with pay tv

theres an astounding amount of info on this very thread to prove you wrong

so lets ignore all ratings because they're innacurate? Cool, close the forum

we should have done that 9 years ago then , when AFL fans were crying & stamping their feet claiming all their veiwers weren't being included & this was why the NRL was handing the AFL its ass on a plate

fact is , in 2012 it all went very strange & no one can put a reasonable reason up as to why.
Both codes do not attract anywhere near the numbers they did 8 & 9 years ago .... not even close.

1. FTA TV ratings have been dropping for all programs accross the world, including major sports like NFL and EPL
2. TV has more channels so viewers have more choice. This translates to lower ratings for individual programs
3. Streaming like netflix has taken many viewers away, as has online gaming
4. Kayo has taken away 10% of sports viewers

The NRL's regional audience is about 2/3rds of their FTA audience, which is logical given the size of the regional v metro populations. The AFL's regionals are about 1/3rd of their metro's, which again makes logical sense.

You're living in the past Raiderdave. The AFL dominate the TV ratings, and have for many years now
