Talking Footy

Take it up with TV Tonight, the SMH Tribal Mind, Media Spy etc, etc.

TV ratings from the capital cities are the currency that tv programming is based on whether you like it or not. Move on and deal with it would ya.

agenda much
this AFL myth will be dismantled soon enough
soon enough

No agenda, just reality. Time for you to accept reality.

Like I said, flawed but not surprising that it suits your agenda.

Your desperate now, you sound a bit like Truthsayer.


Your talking about what? a few 100k absolute max . While we're talking about 1.2 m

Wow, even with the flawed regionals that our throwball fans love to constantly bring up, the news isn't good for the prime time Sunday night NRL Grand Final up against a Saturday afternoon AFL Grand Final. Another year, another smashing victory for the AFL.

Mediaweek are reporting total audiences as follows:

AFL audience - 3.418m (including 788k regional)

NRL audience of 3.255m (including 1.095m regional)

Just goes to show a truly national competition like the AFL will always rate better than a 2 state wannabe national competition.

Meaning that you beat us just once in the entire final series - One of the least favourite Sydney sides against a team from another country - you did well



* Did you note 350K in Melbourne.

* Did you also note that the NRL ratings were up over 15% this year

I noticed that more people prefer to watch the AFL grandfinal on TV than Rugby league.

AFL winners 2011.

don't recall anyone saying we'd win the Grand Final Ratings beaussie
you had an all Melbourne GF with 2 well supported clubs playing

we had arguably one of the smallest & least supported Sydney Clubs up against a non Australian side & almost beat you
.. just 160K behind

but its the overall Finals figures that make for interesting reading

the NRL finals attracted finals TV ratings of 15,072,000 veiwers
the AFL finals attracted ..........13,315,000

a whopping
a dead set whopping ...........

staggeringly
in the top 10......... its the NRL 8 to the AFL's 2
