Wookie explained it just like I have. Every AFL game bar 1 per round is shown to only part of the country. Imagine how the NRLs aerage would plummet if Thursday night was shown to Brisbane and perth, while Friday nigh was shown to Sydney and melbourne.

Friday night is the only AFL game per round which is shown nationally on FTA, where as every NRL FTA game is shown nationally. Therefore, the logical comparison of FTA games is Friday night.

Its like me claiming the AFL dominates Saturday night's TV ratings when the AFL have FTA games while the NRL is on fox only. You'd complain no doubt, which would be fair enough, as its a poor comparison. However by your complaint would all be spin and lies.

Lets Just say, A Broncos vs Melbourne on Thursday night. LIVE ON FTA
live in QLD live into Victoria.
and the rest of the country got to see it on FOX

it would still be a big figure, not as big as across the country figure on FTA but still big

AFL do it all the time, crows on FTA into Adelaide
West Coast on FTA into Perth..

and the people in other states can watch it on FOX if they have it.

and at the same time there got a Richmond v Swans game for the Eastern markets on FTA
and also on FOX

see there is good and bad in this.

If the NRL showed a game on FTA to QLD and VIc theyd get 450k max, including regionals.

The way the AFL schedule Saturday and Sunday sometimes benefits ratings, and sometimes it reduces it. It happened a few weeks ago when melbourne got Carlton v nobody, while Adelade played Sydney. The fox ratings for the Ad v Syd game were 3 times the Carlton game showing the majority of Australia preferred this game. The ratings would have been far better if the Ad v Syd game was shown nationally

The nrl didn't benefit from this. It was a channel 9 ploy designed to increase maximise ratings over the prime time period. The NRL then had to show a 2 hour replay for the other half of there ratings. By showing matches into there own states the AFL pick up about ...25% + 25%. They might loose some, because there not shown into all markets, but they gain more than they lose.

There 2 completely different things.

The NRL benefited from ch9 benefiting from it!

Not sure what youre on about with the AFL. We are talking about FN where we only have a single game. We may benefit on Sat and Sun by having multiple games shown at once, but it kills the averages because each match is only available to part of the audience

So a total of 391k watching the AFL on fox between 7.30pm and 10.30pm last night.

Plus about 780k watching on FTA

Who is it that needs to our highest rating match is 3 times the size of yours, our averages and aggregates are better than yours. In fact our total ratings are more than 20%. How's you ?

Winners are grinners you know, guess what i'm doing right now .
