Fight Club - Football TV Ratings (AFL vs NRL)

[Xman]

They didnt have a match on thursday night. But thet were just shy of 4million wendesday night . while on Friday night it was around 1.2 million.

300k at 9.30pm pal, less than half the AFL for that time slot. What the excuse?

[piesman2011]

AFL pulled about 1.2 million on thursday night and about 1.1 million on friday night.

What are you on about? Are you disputing these numbers?

Home and away AFL is crushing home and away NRL this year.

Your inability to face reality is amazing

[Xman]

More proof how dominant the AFL are. Almost all those AFL FTA/payTV results should be added together since they are shown concurrently!

Great stuff!

The reality is chum, that the AFL are ahead by 1-2mil per round, despite our games going for 50% longer and overlapping broadcasts meaning we have less watchable games per round.

It's a "no contest".

Great stuff!

Yes weve all seen what a difference concurrent matches make to the AFL these past couple of weeks

That's like saying the fn 9.30 game is the benchmark for their ratings.

Some games rate better than others and both of our ladders prove that.

[pussycat]

Some... but you had 12. Or were they all crap? Doesn't say alot for your competition, does it

[piesman2011]

Over the last two weeks no AFL games have overlapped. If we compare the PTV games over the last two weeks on the same days both the AFL and the NRL have games on PTV on Saturday and Sunday. The AFL has a game on Friday night but it is televised on FTA around Australia The NRL doesnt have a game on PTV on Friday night. The NRL has a PTV game on Monday but the AFL doesnt have a game. So because the other code doesn't have a game on Fridays and Mondays, I will only compare Saturday and Sunday games. All of the AFL games on Saturday and Sunday are also televised to non-Victorian markets on FTA as well. Here are the average ratings:

Over the last 2 weeks the NRL has had 5 matches Saturday and Sunday on PTV averaging 260K
Over the last 2 weeks the AFL has had 8 matches Saturday and Sunday on PTV averaging 220K

The only difference was that every single game on PTV for AFL has also been televised to a local market on FTA.
I would say that there is next to no difference between these matches, due to the AFL having FTA to local markets. So in other words local markets would make up that 40K difference if these games were televised on PTV only to local markets. The AFL results included 3 games involving new clubs GC and GWS.
