Wow, Seven’s AFL was number one nationwide and the best result for the season. Another massive win again for the AFL over the NRL too.

That reach number for the AFL compared to the NRL is phenomenal.

How good is that 16% increase when the Saturday Games have become exclusives

for me them numbers do not look that good.

Example

You have lost FTA on Saturdays, and FOX gains exclusivity but the number is only 16% overall
Discuss ??

Good point Leeroy. You would think that with no FTA on Saturdays Fox should improve much much more than 16%. That number isn't going to cover the FTA ratings lost. This is going to effect overall ratings. Not a good sign for the fumbling game.

16% is good rise year on year.
it does not look that good when you compare KAYO numbers to last season
when you add in EXCLUSIVE GAMES to NON EXCLUSIVE GAMES

and of course he will be happy.. Is not going to do a press release and be sad :lol:

16 percent growth I think is good - particularly when there was massive growth last year from AFL subs. If it were only 10 percent last year it would still be good but given it was so large last year - the 16 percent I think is substantial. Add in potential growth in Fox subs -

Are you confusing fox numbers with kayo numbers ? I don’t believe they are the same are they ?

Fred wrote: Sun Apr 13, 2025 2:35 pm

Surely some would take up kayo and some would take up Foxtel. No need for kayo if you have Foxtel. Do we have figures for Foxtel subs?

Fred wrote: Sun Apr 13, 2025 3:22 pm

Just checking - was the kayo guy saying 16 percent increase in subs or in ratings? Cause they are different things. Can’t be bothered checking lol

Fred wrote: Sun Apr 13, 2025 3:23 pm

And we will have to wait u til we get all figures I guess as otherwise only guessing.
