2015 - NRL - Rugby League Crowds and TV Ratings

[Xman]

Probably havent even won with the regionals this week.

Fox came in at 305k for the AFL + 667 metro = 972 + approx 100k vic regionals and another 100k in WA regionals/Tas and we're looking at about 1.2 mill.

NRL ratings will be lucky to hit a million.

Nrl averages have been 70% of Metro ratings this year , according to NRL ratings. That being the case 641K metro + 449k regionals + 19K on Sky = 1.1m for two bottom teams that would'nt have got a start in the AFL on a Friday night and 1.17m is quiet a bit shy of 1.2m. Its about as many Perth people that watched have watched the game live and delayed.

after skimming through think TV only 2 of your FN telecasts have had over 400k for regionals, and one was only just. Why would last night rate one of your highest?

actually they've hit 400+_, 4 times this year on the regionals.

Average is about 66% of the metro ratings, would give them 423 for last night for a total of 1019k. With NZ,1036k - quite a bit short of 1.1 million given the difference is more than the total number of people watching outside NSW and QLD

Even At 66% its 1.083 well and truly over a million. And on the NRL ratings site they have Sky as 19k for the delayed game and 40k for the live game.

[Xman]

Ive looked at all their ratings from mediaweek and ThinkTV and their regionals on average are only 62% of metro. Theyve only reached 1.2m once for the season, and only over 1.1m 3 other times.

Their highest regionals were 475 but only over 400 four times, 417 being their second highest. A number of their Sundays and even a Friday missed the regional cutoff which is often only 250k

This must be a fair way down on last year surely

[Xman]

In fact if you look at their FNs only their regionals are only 57% of the metros because Sundays bump the % up. Their average FN regional is only 381k, and that ignores one FN which didnt even make the cutoff of 250k

I didnt take your metros off think TV, only your regionals

[Xman]

Sat TV #AFL *revised* night Seven 429k (Mel 310k Ade 119k) 7mate 95k (Syd 13k Bri 19k Per 64k)

[pussycat]

What was it before it was revised?.....Theres always next week.

[Xman]

they added it wrong. Not sure what you mean by next week. The AFL was again the highest rating sport on Saturday, by a long way

[pussycat]

Fox Sports Super Saturday #NRL #NRLKnightsRaiders 160k #NRLSouthsWarriors 216k #NRLPanthersStorm 194kSky Sport NZ Saturday #NRL #NRLSouthsWarriors 72k

[Xman]

Sun TV #AFL Seven 453k (Mel 218k Ade 79k Per 157k) 7mate 47k (Syd 14k Bri 33k) = 500k

Sun TV #NRL Nine 365k (Syd 245k Bri 120k) GEM 23k (Mel 7k Ade 5k Per 11k) = 388k

When was the last week the NR won a ratings comparison?

[leeroy*NRL*]

What are you on about? Your game does it almost every FN! Broncos in one game and 2 NSW teams in another. These 2 games target to your entire homeland market on the highest rating time slot of the week. Add to that the broncos represent 2.5mil people which is ludicrous really, but does generate outstanding ratings from one city. The AFL cant do that because Adelaide and Perth have 2 teams each.

The AFL needs 3 games to target its heartland market because it has 3 seperate heartland markets

Arhhhh Derr

I know that..

THE NRL does it for 70% of its games on Friday night.
But the AFL do it Saturday and Sunday to most of there games.

there by MAXIMISING THE RATINGS>>
how many times to do I have to explain it.

the AFL some times have 4 games in one day.
Each game going Live into its Home STATE

Bringing out the TV Audience.

I say this because.

you seem to put one Sunday afternoon NRL game
up against 3 AFL games.
Which have 6 teams
one aired live in SA
the other aired live in to W.A
the other aired live in VIC
the OTHER in QLD AND NSW
And on Foxtel.

and you cry like a baby when the NRL do it on Friday nights.

the AFL do it every week to multiple games.

actually NO, I just do what all the NRL crowd do for their FN's. They seem to completely ignore their targeted FN games and then claim victory as if its the only comparison. They also ignore the fact that only 1 of 9 AFL games is shown in isolation, and 8 of 8 NRL games are.

well I do not ignore.
there is definitely a disadvantage for the AFL with overlapping of games and games showed at same time.

but they also use it too its advantage...
showing games into different states where it will rate higher for the local teams.
which helps and goes along way in terms of Tv Viewers.

for the NRL no overlapping Bar the Friday night game is good in away.

though 5 games are exclusive to FOX and 1 game is delayed.
which does not help at All.

[leeroy*NRL*]

1 LIVE: NRL EELS V COWBOYS FOX SPORTS 1 293,000
2 LIVE: NRL BULLDOGS V DRAGONS FOX SPORTS 1 289,000

Dogs v Dragons (great Game)

Suxs in away if both these games were on FTA (both would of rated 1 million +)

[pussycat]

X-man what was your but but excuse for yesterday? No overlap, both our games rated near 100k more than . One game was 1st v Last.
