so after July the AFL will remain on Southern Cross and the NRL will go to Win. Will they then have a ratings improvement aka advantage? I mean if you guys are saying SC ratings are unfair isnt that also unfair to the AFL?

Can anyone explain why the NRL would rate lower on Southern Cross than Win?

Because WIN reaches more households than SC.

That shouldn't matter should it as rating are inferential statistics - that is the infer to the population. If it were a smaller area (total population) then that would explain it - with WIN having a larger "pool" - thus 1 person watching out of 10 people surveyed would mean 10 people in a population of 100 but 100 people in a population of 1000...... if my maths is right

That’s what I said... as the ratings are just a sample that infers to the population it is measuring it really comes down to what population is being used and it’s size. I could sample 1000 people and 500 are watching rl. If I am inferring to a population of a million the ratings will be higher than if I’m inferring to a population of 500000 naturally. So if win is covering a larger population to what SC did then yes it’s rating figure will be higher. You could have exactly the same set top boxes and same people with them wouldn’t matter. Remember... ratings are no actual people watching... they are a “guess”

and no one can explain , no one.. effectively

how AFL regional ratings went from 60% of the NRL's
to 80% or more
overnight

no one

nothing dodgey tho hey haha

Yes they can. And I have before - essentially AFL regionals were only being released for prime time games, and we werent getting any data for the 5 other matches a week which hurt the average something chronic - we're talking saturday afternoons on regional victorian tv, regional wa and tasmanian ratings that were never available before 2016 unless they were prime time.

Its funny, because remember how you lot bitched about NRL regionals not being counted prior to 2013. Well, we didnt start getting all the AFL data until a few years after that. Apparently squealing like a pig about your own regionals made you forget that everyone else might have regionals too.

So the NRL has a free run last week - and AFL this week up against the NRL game kicked the NRLs butt?
