The average foxtel ratings for the NRL on Friday night is 209k

This is the only apples for apples comparison of foxtel ratings between the codes because both games are shown simulcast with FTA, and both are the only game on at the time.

And look who is miles ahead

miles and miles and miles.

And your point is? what , that simulcasting somehow reduces ratings? Actually its the other way round and I can Quote you , yesterday, saying exactly that.

But I do agree on one thing, they are simple points - very simple and they mean absolutely nothing.

Ch 9 seem to be grabbing a bigger share of the ratings from Fox then what ch 7 do for some reason, probably due to the new digital channel that Ch 9 have started.

my points were:

- simulcasting FTA and fox reduces the fox audience, your ratings prove it. Your simulcast games rate far lower. Every AFL game is simulcast, where as only 3 NRL games are simulcast

- The only reasonable comparison of fox ratings between the NRL and AFL is FN because both games are shown in isolation and both are simulcast. The AFL win these comfortably

AFL coverage on Fox Sports and Seven West Media is roughly in line with 2013 figures or down by 2 per cent to 3 per cent in certain markets.

you understand what 'certain markets' means right? fact is Wookie doesnt get all the figures because they just arent all available to the public. A small margin like 2% in some markets when we dont see all the ratings is pretty unreliable
