if you look over the rounds
for Saturday and Sunday matches..
day and night on FTA

S.A and W.A Home teams shown on FTA double the count of other teams playing..
that are not from the home state.

which would be normal..

that is why AFL show 2 games at once at various times in the round..

the AFL do not want a National figure of a Suns/Lions Game rating... (as it would be very poor.
so they sub it with a better game Port v Eagles going live on FTA into Home states.
than combine the two together...

I know why they show two games at once

The question is, does this produce a greater net benefit given showing two games concurrently splits the market in half so the averages per game are lower?

The evidence suggests it doesnt. Rounds where home markets are not targeted but games are shown in isolation get a far higher average per game.

ok good at least we on the same page in that matter.

I will give you this one...
some weeks it would disadvantage and some weeks it would advantage..
depending on the games the conditions the teams playing...

I think the AFL are happy with how it plays out..
they may lose some viewers with some match ups one week
but gain the next...

yes it is also true.. it would be good to have a better understanding and comparison

if the NRL had just say an Adelaide and Perth Team to the mix..

Not having paid too much attention to last year's fixturing, but this year Melbourne gets only 3 FTA games per round, and Perth and Adelaide getting games delayed, or on 7 mate. That alone would account for a drop in ratings

They get what they got last year. So its more a case of people being sick and tired of the same old crap.

Even your excuses are crap, or should I say Crappier than usual!
