Wont help in the long run!

For whatever reason channel 9 loose less viewers to Foxtel than what Ch 7 do. Probably has to do with ch9 new hi resolution channel.

Can And fumleball fans tell me why we stil average 35% more on Fox even with this disadvantage. And also why is our tally up more than 20% each week , without sky? ??????????????????????

1. your ratings prove that foxtel ratings suffer when the game is shown simulcast on FTA. Our FN games beat your FN games on foxtel easily, which is an apples for apples comparison. Your claim that ch9 lose less viewers than ch7 is based on what exactly? Your FTA ratings on FN are poor compared to ours too

2. Your game rates more on foxtel overall because a) all your games are shown in isolation, where as only one AFL game is, b) all our foxtel games are shown simulcast on FTA, which we know decreases foxtel ratings, where as 5 of your games are shown on foxtel only. Notice how these non-simulcast games far outrate your simulcast games? and c) You also show 50% of your games in prime time where as we only show 30% in prime time

Of course you'll reply with your usual 'but but but', despite the fact you asked for an explanation. However, this is your way of saying you have nothing valuable to add to the discussion.

We hate 3 FTA Games, you have 4 and a bit FTA gamest. and 8 to 9 PTV games.

3 of your matches are stacked with home state games to give you much higher ratings .

And your viewer total is boosted by having all your matches simulcast.

every RL fan can see every NRL game every round. AFL fans can only see 5-6.

Whether you like it or not you have a longer season with far more games available to each fan on TV

EVERY SWANS LIONS EAGLES FREO CROWS POWER SUNS GIANTS

AND THE BIG MELBOURNE CLASHES ARE all shown on FTA

therefore maxing the viewership as MAX as possible


THE NRL however 5 of the 8 games are restricted to the 30% of the viewing public !!!
