Ch 10: DETERMINED not to pay massive money if given the lesser games each week in a divided rights format

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/t ... 6279961684

They want it there own way if they're going to pay a decent price. Like ch 9 their probably only interested in showing the broncos every Friday night. No wonder the raiders can't find a sponsor!

Ch9 are in such a hurry to appease thugs rugby they've relegated the Friday night games to 1am in Vic, SA, WA and Tas again this year. Doesn't look like they'll show any games on other days.

Meanwhile four games of AFL are scheduled on FTA every weekend across Australia.

Same time slots as last year and less available people to watch, yet :134 million tuned in to national free-to-air and subscription television to watch NRL, Toyota Cup, Origin, City-Country, Australia v New Zealand Tests and the Four Nations this year. This is 12 million more than for any other Australian sport, and does not include a further 12 million viewers in New Zealand.

Your in 5 states in good timeslots and still have less viewrs Well pointed out drongo

As I have repeatedly said, 7 games of NRL were viewable each weekend last year and only 4.5 AFL games, yet they actually aired for the same amount of time. So if I as a fan watched every game of AFL I could over a weekend last year that would only count for 4.5 viewers. If you as a fan watched every NRl game over a weekend you would be counted for 7 games. This shows that the cumulative figures heavily favour the NrL and are absolutely worthless as a comparison.

I noticed docbrown on LU say in their TV rights thread that foxtel had sucked the AFL and it's fans in by offering a dedicated fox footy channel!

Hahahahaha!

Yeah, $ 600m with every game live in HD plus other dedicated programs is a shocking result for the AFL and it's fans! LOL!

They won't change unless they are shown on a secondary digital channel. RL = ratings poison south of the Murray River.

So, do you have an opinion on my comment? Is it true or not?

The fact is both codes, and the way they are televised, are incomparable.

The NRL is focused on two large main markets in the same time zone. Their games are short so they can fit 2 into a four hour block to target two audiences. They make the most of this by showing the Broncos live into Brisbane just about every Friday night. This game appeals to a large proportion of their homeland because the Broncos represent a heartland of 2 million people, the most of any team of any code in Australia. But oh how these fans drop off come 9.30pm when a game comes on they have little interest in.

The AFL markets are spread across 3 heartland markets with smaller expansion markets in two other cities. It is impossible for them to target the vast majority of these fans in one or even two games every friday night, especially because there is a 2 hour time difference between their 2 largest heartland markets. It is impossible for them to show 2 subsequent games in prime time because of the games length. Yet the AFL is relevant to more markets than the NrL so what they lose in not being able to target every market at once they gain in other ways.
