Ive just shown you why. We miss out on an average of 100k stv ratings per game when they are shown concurrently. Add that up per round then per season and its basically the difference
Of course youll ignore this despite the clear evidence
lets look at it at a different angle shall we...
AFL
2 games shown at the same time at 7:30pm on Saturday night>
Crows v Port> shown live into SA on FTA 200k shown on fox around Australia 140k
Fremantle v hawthorn > shown live into WA on FTA 145k shown live into Melb 215k
shown on fox around Australia 180k
NRL
Sharks v Roosters
1 game shown live exclusive on FOX 280k
so by sums this would be AFL 2 games with fox and FTA combined = 880 divied by 2 = 440k
this works out better for the AFL !!! do the MATH
Say what?
Why are you comparing Saturday night only when the AFL have fox and FTA and the NRL has only fox? The NRL have their 'equivalent' prime time FTA game on Thursday night.
So if we add the ratings from the NRL's Thursday (700k FTA, 250k fox) and Saturday (280 fox) games you get 1.23m. Therefore 615k per game
If we add the AFL's FTA games on saturday night (assuming Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne sides involved) to best you get 150k Perth, 150k Adelaide, 310k Melbourne, 40k SYD/Bris, 150k regionals = 800k, plus 100k and 230k foxtel = a total of 1130k or 565k per game.
Targeted games obviously helps but the drop in fox ratings hurts big time, especially when the NRL can do the same thing by showing the Broncos or Titan on Thursday night and getting huge Brisbane ratings
all i was quoting was a saturday night fixture head to head>
with 1 x NRL game
and 2 AFL games played at the same time>>
but the NRL does not do this > as the bronx have only 16 FTA games and 9 Exclusive Fox games..
in an ideal world > the NRL would have all games on FTA maximising every game
but this is not the case>>
AFL has games at same time (yes which is a disadvantge) though it helps alot when the game
is broadcast into some FTA markets offsetting the loss.
where NRL has 5 exclusive Fox games
(if the AFL didnt have the games on FTA at the same time, i would be saying its a huge disadvantage..)
you win some you lose some> its a good setup>>
AFL=Genuis
