Show me different Xman link me your 4.6M viewers for AFL grandfinal..........

Ok, here's why you're a *******. That list is metro only, except the new entries which are this years NRL, which are metro and regionals. Check the metro ratings for the NRL SOO this year. The list is wrong. The rest are correct for metros only.

The AFL GF rates about 1m regionals when the metro is only 2.7m. The 2005 AFL GF rated another 600-700k metro audience only. It would be fair to say, given the swans were involved, the regionals would also be higher. Therefore the total audience would be 4.5-4.6m. :D

Note that th AFL GF is the only program on that list that is not primetime! Thanks for helping me prove my point.

The list below is the top ten most watched broadcasts in Australia since 2001. These figures represents the Five Metro Capital audience (Syd-Mel-Bris-Per-Ade) and don't include regional figures.
