Big paywall there LeeRoy.

I would have thought 7 wouldn't have the funds - plus how would airing work - with both codes having same broadcast times in the main? Maybe the alternate/secondary channels in AFL states - and in QLD and NSW for League.

I read a bit and AFL is still foxteks number 1 product - based on more than just ratings - I think the whole ratings thing is seem differently by those who matter like ad buyers. I would hazard a guess from various things I read that if one sport had to be chosen - AFL would be first pick. The saving grace for nrl is soo it seems.

Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V’landys has declared war on Channel 9 in the lead-up to the NRL grand final, after the Today show heavily promoted the AFL grand final.

According to Code Sports, the NRL was inundated with complaints, and V’landys personally issued a please explain email after Nine’s breakfast program heavily promoted their rival league, which free-to-air rival Channel 7 has the rights to.
Code reports that the AFL got more airtime than the NRL finals last week on Today, and it led to several clubs complaining to V’landys about the level of promotion.

The report notes that one club official, who chose not to be named, said, “Channel 9 did a better job promoting the AFL than Channel 7, their rights holders.

“

It is not the first time Channel 9 has promoted the AFL over the NRL either, as two years ago they took the Today show to Adelaide to spruik the AFL’s Gather Round

And a look at the numbers shows exactly why the NRL’s feathers are ruffled.

Saturday’s decider between Brisbane and Geelong had a viewership of a whopping 6.09 million people on Channel 7’s main channel and 7Plus.

The AFL audience was slightly more than last year’s Lions v Swans decider, with the showcase event continuing to outperform the NRL grand final.
