2025 - AFL / AFLW Australian Football TV Ratings

[WookieReturns]

nothing to do top 20,
numbers as low as 5K have been reported for capitals in the past wanker , .... not any more
nothing sus tho

We arent in the past now are we. Ratings availablity has been steadily eroded over the last three years as Oztam - owned by ALL three commercial networks - none of which is a sporting body

- 2023 we start getting Fox streaming data
- 2024 We no longer get Fox data
- 2025 We no longer get Fox streaming data
- 2025 Oztam no longer release extended data on weekends, meaning we only get breakdowns for Thursday night/Sunday games, and those are limited to what is published by Mediaspy

it has EVERYTHING to do with the top 20 for each city and the data that only Mediaspy are releasing because no one else is.Its also hampered by the difference in reporting from Nine and Seven - Nine dont include GEM in their split reporting, although its in VOZ, where Seven always have reported 7mate/7two inclusive.
