AFL & NRL Footy TV Ratings - 2024

[azif]

yeah that is what i ment.
FOXTEL ratings not being released.

80% (does that count all the Memberships in AFL that give KAYO for free for 12 months

theres no legit reason to not release all STV ratings , other then the drops & oopsies being embarrassed by the hiding they're copping from the NRL , & or foxtel themselves being embarrassed what they're paying for that bumbling crap based on ratings

If i were the NRL i would go to FOX and Ch9 and say You want the NRL ? Equal the AFL tv Deal and than Add Inflation plus 10% on top
for your 20 team League NRL COMP

otherwise we go to market.

Lots of speculation as to what might happen
foxtel just trump it up & on we go ... they will be paying about 415 mill pa to the AFL from next year for 7 years for 9 games a week
I'd be happy with that
Ch 7 pay 180 mill pa , Ch 9 need to get to that level from their present 130 mill they pay the NRL
considering they get origin for that , I think thats fair .. if they won't pay that ... I understand it will be offered to Ch 10 .. but foxtel will pick up the difference between what Ch 10 can afford & the NRL's asking price , but origin will be simulcast for the 1st time on Ch10 & STV

STV $415 mill
FTA $180 mill
NZ $50 mill

$645 mill PA
this is all TV $.. unlike the AFL which includes money from Telstra ( 50 mill pa ) in its $643 mill ... which is ofc... not... TV money

negotiations for this next NRL media rights deal will begin in 2025

[Fred]

I think the NRL/ARL should sell off SoO as a seperate package. It is clearly the most valuable event in regard to advertising and exposure.

It's not a great time to be going to market. The economy is tanking. All the FTA stations are struggling for income and ratings. Ch. 9 is going to lose $60M on the Olympics. Ch. 10 are a basket case and Ch. 7 have committed to the fumbling game.

Having said that marquee live sport is the jewell in the crown of FTA. And RL is regularly smashing the fumbling rabble on FTA and annihilating it on Fox. The new deal will undoubtedly be much bigger than the current one. It's just a matter of how much the broadcasters can afford.

Timing is everything!!!!!

[azif]

so the Origin was marginally .... marginally .. disappointing
3.652 Mill
the highest rating of the series & the highest rating origin in quite a few years
game one 2016 i believe

what they can afford is what they're paying our competitors
foxtel cried poor in 2020 when the NRL looked to lock in a deal & oh oh oh , we're broke we're broke , we showed some good faith & signed a deal for about the amount of the old deal ..... then .... magically foxtel find a record amount to pay the AFL only a few years later

we got dudded .. well & truly played

not this time
the bar has been set by the media companies .... match it or fuck off

Agreed - 10 has no money - FTA TV is in crisis as advertising revenue is majority focused to online platforms now - which recent figures show. There just isn't room for the amount of FTA channels - one will crash.

With the stock market at record highs someone is making money - there is a two tiered economy for sure - so many building going up, people going on international trips (also up), unemployment low, and inflation has come down - but not just quite enough. Just that FTA is a product of the dodo nowadays - in saying that - live sport is the last bastion where people will watch and want to watch it there and then - so there could be money thrown at it - but will the financiers agree to put up the money to back it. Turns out a good move for the AFL to lock in their deal when they did I guess.

Is there any chance of RL/NRL going to streaming? or even something like soccer has with Optus - we saw the cricket on Amazon recently for large amounts. WouldNRL take the cash if offered to go to such a platform? Do NRL want to sign a long-term contract with a failing product such as FTA is also a question? Do you want to lock it in - with say 10 - if 10 were to try and do a hail mary - and see games on paramount possibly - and the 10 FTA closes down ?

I think you could see SoO go to pay for view as soon as it is allowed - it would rake in so much money I reckon but be bad for the supporter base.

NRL is on the anti syphoning list so has to be available on FTA TV
these streaming service providers are risky & not proven like foxtel..
Whether foxtel buy the entire rights including Origin to put on their service along with FTA & rent the 3 game NRL FTA content back to a provider is possible , foxtel would have the pick of games each week to drive subscriptions further & the lesser games would be on whichever FTA provider bid the most to cover them
the whole thing would still be worth 600 mill pa to Australian broadcasters ... it is the premier sport on TV in this country .. bar nothing

the kiwis will increase their payments to 50 mill plus pa with an extra game per week & the future prospect of a Sth Island team coming in soon

[Fred]

That's why it is interesting to "watch this space" as there is pressure to drop the anti-syphoning laws - hence all the adds recently warning of the dangers.

NRL updates the SOO 3 tv ratings. An incredible 3.829M watched one of the greatest spectacles of all time. The line speed and ferocity in defence by both teams was a thing to behold. No sport in the world can match that level of brutality, skill and co-ordination.

Well done to both teams. Well done NRL. Well done Rugby League.

The chat at the office water coolers

nothing in Australia gets close to it

those laws will never be dropped & no " loophole" re having an antenna or a smart TV will make any difference
portions of tier one sports & sporting events of significance will always be available for free
