It’s not really something ive paid attention to. Ill get something up though

Getting more of these shows in qld at decent times - however if your tv runs via Fox it cam be hard to find and you can’t tape. Thank goodness for YouTube

Do you not get the 7plus app on Fox?

Footy Classified on Channel 9 appears to be winning the tv ratings battle in Melbourne, whilst The Agenda Setters on Channel 7 is winning nationally.



Fox Footy and Channel 7 also continuing to have a dig at each other.



I personally hate how the sound of the crowd is turned down on Fox Footy, and prefer the Channel 7 broadcast who are also live at each game, unlike the Fox Footy team broadcasting from the studio. Reading the FB comments and the response from Foxtel Complaints admin, it appears this one complaint was the reason why you can barely hear the crowd on Fox Footy broadcasts.

Thanks champ, will be interesting to see in light of all the new AFL programs in 2025 across Channel 7,9 and Fox Footy.

Cant say much for the ratings on Foxfooty as theres been zero said about them

BUT on FTA

The Front Bar (AFL) leads all comers on FTA with an average viewership of 573,000
Unfiltered with Hamish Mclaclan (AFL) comes in at an average viewership of 318,000 - but benefits from the Front Bar lead in.

On Sundays, the AFL footy show averages 175,000 on Nine, while Sunday Feast (AFL) averages 118,000 on Seven. The NRL Footy show averages 141,000. For days when we have ratings head to head its Sunday AFL 174,000, Sunday NRL 133,000.

On Monday nights, 100% footy (NRL) on Nine holds the narrowest of leads over Footy Classified (AFL) 205,000 to 204,000, while The Agenda Setters (AFL) on Seven has an average of 174,000.

Tuesday nights, The Agenda Setters is beating Footy Classified 167k to 154k.

You’re a legend Wookie.

Great read and analysis as always. And as I suspected The Agenda Setters is gaining a bigger audience each week on 7, up against Footy Classified on 9.

Tuesday 17 June:

NRL markets watched Freddy And The Eighth that had 151k while AFL markets had Footy Classified with 149k. That was below Agenda Setters on Seven that had 182k.

Yeah Freddy has made 3 appearances on the ratings for the year. Not enough for me to draw conclusions on.
