you need to understand my post. I'm talking out proportion of KAYO ratings compared to fox for each code. The article suggests the AFL has a higher proportion of kayo ratings
do you maybe think Melbourne punters took up Streaming services like no tomorrow due to the face you guys are in lock down
and have had huge restrictions since basically end of March..
which is contributing to AFL's Big rise
Seven West Media and FOX seem to think so..
point is they are taking up kayo in larger proportions than fox. Therefore we compare cummulative ratings for the season, which are BS anyway, the AFL is missing a substantial tally of viewers. The other point is a comparison of foxtel ratings only are not a fair comparison
this winter yes maybe more AFL punters have joined KAYO
i have no doubt this is because of Lock down and no attendance to matches.
the figures are all pointing to massive upwards trend in melbourne this season.
you only have to put two and two together to know why
while this could be a good thing punters may still hold on to streaming going forward
which they may have not held on to if this did not occur.
Michael Jordan-style doco to reveal secret world of State of Origin

State of Origin might be driven by hate but, in an act of rare co-operation, the states are coming together to provide rugby league with its Michael Jordan moment. And the man driving it is Today host Karl Stefanovic.
For the past few months, Stefanovic has been working on the concept of a behind-the-scenes documentary featuring the Origin teams. Late last week, with the support of NSW Rugby League chairman George Peponis and his Queensland counterpart, Bruce Hatcher, a deal was struck for the project to go ahead.
Streaming company Stan – which is owned by Nine Entertainment Co, owners of this masthead – has backed the concept and it will be shot with the blessing of both states. In 1997, a documentary crew followed Jordan and the Chicago Bulls as they went for their sixth NBA title in eight seasons. The result, The Last Dance, was one of the most watched and talked about sporting documentaries of all time.
“I don’t know who the Michael Jordan will be ... Wayne Bennett or Brad Fittler ... I do have to say that I am excited,” Stefanovic said. “The support of both NSW and Queensland is so important and I hope we can produce a product that is worthy of State of Origin – which is the best sporting product we have in this country.
"The idea is to be with the teams in this unique year where they are in a bubble and take rugby league fans to places they have not been. It’s a chance to see how the magic happens. It will be great for the sport and great for the fans and the sponsors.
"We have seen The Test on Amazon [about the Australian cricket team’s recovery from the ball-tampering scandal] and that was very good and now we can see this in league.’’
The way that Peter V’landys has backed the concept is just great ... as has Andrew Abdo.

Stefanovic and Richard Weinberg are the executive producers and production house CJZ will be in charge of the project. CJZ is Australia’s largest locally owned production house and has Bondi Rescue, Gruen and countless other programs to its credit.
“The way that [ARL Commission chairman] Peter V’landys has backed the concept is just great ... as has [chief executive] Andrew Abdo,’’ Stefanovic said. ‘‘They know the good that this can do for the game here and hopefully internationally as well.”
Rugby League, the dominant force in Australian sport!
"I do like annoying the Victorians; they are so easy to get, At times I've looked at them and had a giggle." Peter V'Landys
I think Collingwood have or where thinking the same - one of the American Channels - possibly ESPN were talking to McGuire about it, would be great to see the Origin one.
AFL - The Final Story: 1975 North Melbourne Vs Hawthorn
Made in 1975 strangely enough, not just about the grand final but traces the events of the season of the two clubs.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
