yes ... 16K difference
I noticed that a game between a regional side & a capital city side in the NRL ... rated nearly as a much as an AFL game between 2 capital city sides

The only statements I've made is to call you out on what I considered to be ridiculous comments - ie assuming that everyone is being counted in the stats you are referring to. I keep proving you wrong with simple reviews of what you link. I don't need proof for that. Nine, Seven and ABC1 are not being counted today, according to your link (and now that I think of it maybe Ten isn't either, as TDT could in fact be the local version of Ten's third channel - to go with the main and OneHD).

The article said digital counting would join the existing annalong counting from the end of 2008. It also mentioned that there was only 2 digital stations in Tasmania, TDT and ABC2

The Swans vs Dockers game was only broadcast in Sydney and Perth. Add the totals for Sunday afternoon AFL nationwide and it's a huge difference. Not the 16k you'd like us to believe.

You initialy said Regional TV ratings are only done on the Eastern coast - wrong
" " Regional TV figures don't include Tasmania - wrong
" " Regional TV figures don't include WA -wrong

I have never changed tack. Every comment there is right, not wrong.

Only one game of AFL was broadcast on Sunday afternoon nationwide on Channel 7.

Sydney and Perth got Swans vs Dockers whilst all other markets got Lions vs Cats. That massive difference in viewer numbers for Sunday afternoon cannot be ignored. The NRL was thrashed by the AFL in the tv ratings. You simply cannot deny that FACT!

Nationwide which the advertisers and buyers as you put it look at, the AFL thrashed the NRL in the tv ratings on Friday night, Saturday afternoon/night and Sunday afternoon. It's no surprise that the AFL broadcasting rights have increased in value each and every time they have been negotiated. Broadcasters don't pay $1,253 Billion for a product that does not rate nationwide. Surely you can agree on that point.

When it comes to broadcast rights and negotiations, you and I both know the TV networks with headquarters in the capital cities are only interested in the almighty capitals.
