Being down though must be a concern though, surely.

I would be interested to see if it is a scheduling thing. The AFL made an effort to make games more attractive for people to attend so they scheduled more games in the afternoon and less games in twilight. Therefore there would be more games overlapping than last year.

The thing about foxtel though, is it depends on subscriptions. If subsription rates drop, as they would have with the introduction of netflix, so will ratings. FTA though should stay the same because everyone has it. Most AFL fans dont need foxtel to see their team.

So many AFL fans went out and got Foxtel
because of the 9 games live ad free..

I would love to see the % rate in Melbourne now in regards to foxtel.

Look at Foxtel tv ratings now, for the AFL

and then look at them before the Foxtel Tv deal was done.

BIG DIFFERENCE

of course they increased, but Id be surprised if they are anywhere near the numbers of NSW and QLD given the AFL has an excellent FTA agreement

Melbourne: 4 matches a week on FTA - Meaning cant see 5
Adelaide: 4 matches a week on FTA - Meaning cant see 5
Perth : 4 matches a week on FTA - Meaning Cant see 5
Qld : 3 matches a week on FTA - Meaning cant see 5
Syd. : 3 matches a week on FTA - Meaning cant see 5

That but but excuse didnt work out real well.

Or are you saying there numbers are lower because there's less interest shown. People can enjoy enough boredom on C7 without going out and subscribing for more,

the metro comparison is totally reasonable given both codes have similar metro heartland audiences.

Last week the NRL's FN rated 545k, almost exactly the same as this week's metro. Your regional ratings were only 331k, making a total of 876k. You think this week's total ratings will be any different? They'll be 250k or more lower than the AFL's total
