Test during night outrate tests during day. The highest rating tennis finals have been night games

He has lost his argument so now crapper is slowly attempting to shift the goal posts

How many test have there bean of a night?

Australia v Bangladesh of a night would not outrate the ashes regardless
of wether it was shown during the working week.

And we keep coming back to this same old argument that you Nevilles refuse to accept. A prime time add is worth more than a Saturday arvo add.

Nope it's an assumption

Given that everything else, live sport, tv shows & news programs all rate better in prime time than non prime time! Especially on a Sunday night where it has been the traditional prime time

To networks charge more advertising


It's easy to say the assumptions of an AFL gf will rate better being shown at that time

You dont know so its not "absolute" anything.

Lol your bias is showing

I argue one side
It's an assumption or I don't know
Yet the fumblers can state what they like ...no problem .

its a fact. The grand fnal has not been held at night ever. You dont know what impact it may have. We do know however that prime time is called as such because networks expect more people to watch and for the reach figures to be higher - this is why Seven is pushing it. Seven can charge whatever they like during the Grand Final for ads - they can charge more if they expect more to be watching.

Its also worth noting that despite this the AFL Grand Final regularly manages to charge more for advertising on 7 than 9 does for the NRL.

Now, your argument is predicated on the assumption that everyone who wants to watch the grand final can watch the grand final on a saturday afternoon - employment and other circumstances be damned - and assumes that despite the history of television suggesting otherwise, more people wouldnt be available to watch in the prime viewing hours.

As has been said
ADD slots are much higher in prime time
Especially for an event that is assured of a big audience
That's why networks want a nighttime GF...
Not because the ratings will suddenly spike .
They already have a guaranteed audience of 3-4 million .

Given the AFL has never had a night grand final this is nothing more than an assumption without evidence.

You obviously don't know what an hypothesis is I feel.

More people to watch ... of those extra people some will watch the gf. Especially as it is a marquee event. There's your extra numbers.

I know exactly what it is
So fuck off with your high & mighty attitude

As for your post .
Yes that's possible
That is one positive
But as usual you ignore the other side

Of those people who would watch during the day
How many of them at night would switch to another top rating show that they like because it's not a. Crappy Elvis rerun or similar .
You would definitely gain some viewers
You would also lose some .

The interesting figure here is Brisbane ... just over 60000 people estimated to be watching. No local team playing and up against the broncos. That's the real mark I think of interest in AFL in general in Brisbane. And on the secondary channel on 7 too.

Compare this to Adelaide Perth and most worryingly Melbourne for nrl.

Also goes to show differences in pay tv take up also between Sydney and Melbourne I feel.
