what was fox? or don't we know that? Whilst on Fox - they had the signal go down and switched over to 7 - noticed that the picture on 7 is so much clearer. Thought my eyes that were going.

Women’s RL Origin was exclusive to Channel 9 whilst the AFL was on both Channel 7 and Fox Footy/Kayo, and no doubt easily outrated the RL.

In Melbourne AFL was the number one program with 309,000. Women’s RL State of Origin ranked 30th with 36,000.

Wow. Imagine fumbling being the number one program in Melbourne. What an achievement. Well done beatup for pointing that out.

Meanwhile: The womens SOO was the second most watched program nationally on FTA for the night behind only the 7news. the fumbling mega match between two Melbon teams were 200k behind. Well done ladies. Well done sports fans.

I think noting this was only for FTA and many watched on fox etc. is an important distinction surely. It is not like more people watched the women's RL than the AFL overall. If that was the case then it would be a major discussion point. I am also curious - does this include streaming on 7?

if AFL took FOX into account in there figure (AFL mens beat NRL womens by around 250k approx on available data)

The thing you have to look at, this was one of AFL's biggest matches of the year and it was up against Women fixture

and it took a BIG clash to beat it, and not by much in the scheme of things.
