not excatly an awful time to be watching stuff ...........


& ova 60% get it live ... another 17% within 30 minutes

keep clutching .. you may come across something soon
hardly a big issue

Imagine if Brisbane got your finals on 2 hrs delay.

its STILL prime time for WA 7.30pm

not 9.30 like you are trying to make out
no excuses

yous get whopped

Except the game starting at 7.30 still goes until 10.30 and is already over when by quarter time of their delayed telecast.

For the AFL to have a similar arrangement on FN the Crows or Power would have to play the Eagles or Dockers, plus Collingwood/Ess/Carl/Hawthorn would have to play Sydney or Brisbane.....every week. The WA/SA game live in to those states and the VIC/NSW/BRIS game live into those states. Plus each game would have to start at 7.30pm and only the best 2 hours average audience would be counted.

This would then be a comparable estimate of which code is more popular on FN TV.

no

Xman was saying theres a 2 hour delay for giggleball games into Perth when they're played in the east
trying to make out its an awful time slot

what he fails to say though is ... the broadcast STILL starts at 7.30pm
smack bang dead in prime time

so this .... what if bizzo for Brisbane is irrelavent

Yeah, and goes until 10.30. The game is already over at 8pm Perth time.

don't blame us because your cr@p sport goes for as long as it does

and like I said
if you're into it .... you'll watch it

a game in prime time ... is a game in prime time
enough with the lame excuses

you lot get whopped because your code does not have the overall interest of RL
does not have as many people who are interested in it

end of transmission.

Who's blaming this? It highlights a major Advantage of the AFL, their telecast goes 50%. This isnt highlighted in cumulative ratings but when the 3hrs of AFL rates 800k and the 4hrs of NRL averages 400k the AFL are clearly ahead. Yet the cumulative figures show the NrL ahead. The networks know which is more valuable, and pay accordingly.

reach ?
the greatest load of baloney every dreamed up by flogballers

your markets are inferior to ours advertising wise ... your 3 hours are shown & rate mainly in markets where just 38% of national advertising is written
ours are shown & rate in markets where 62% of advertising is written

advantage ...... over

Nothing to do with reach.

3 hours at 800k is better than 2hrs at 900 and 2 at 250. Yet cumulative numbers say the NRL is 1150k to the AFLs 800. Rubbish! The AFLs game is more valuable because the better audience is for longer. This increases revenue for the network. This is irrespective of the fact that the AFL has more ads in it anyway.

Hence the cumulative audience argument is mute.

yeah ... its called reach you **** halfwit

both codes had around 4 million veiwers a weekend for their 8 games when all audiences were counted
the AFL was on for 24 hours
the NRL for 16

but our 4 Million veiwers are mainly in states with far more value to advertisers then the AFL's
& into the bargain... we had more of them as a code with our extra rep games etc

so again
this is a lame argument ........
