AFL on FOX is really second fiddle to NRL this year.
IF FOX PAY MORE THEY MUST HAVE GUNS TO THERE HEAD

Unless ratings isnt the primary measure. Fox would know the number of unique viewers they have tune in and what they watch. Its entirely possible that ratings dont reflect the subscription picture accurately.

I think Fox pay more for other reasons over and above ratings - I think the air time AFL fills is also an important factor. Can't really think of any others. The whole " gain subscriptions in AFL markets" doesn't seem to have materialised.

numbers on STV mean subscriptions , the main way $$ are earnt
different to FTA where it is advertising $$

if your deal is not set up to " force " fans to subscribe then it doesn't work as efficiently as it could .
If you live outside Victoria then why would you subscribe at all if you follow any of the 8 teams not in Victoria

you get every game for those 8 clubs on FTA
This won't please foxtel & they won't pay more until it is fixed

If it is fixed
Ch 7 will say they lose out , & they won't pay more
its a right pickle

enjoy

Damn, I think you have a point,
If you barrack for the Suns, and only the Suns, live on the Gold Coast, and every game is broadcast live on the Gold Coast, there is no reason to subscribe to PTV. Or, come to think of it, go to the game if the forecast is for rain.

if you look at FOX LEAGUE and FOX FOOTY

League rates higher
Streaming and STV are the highest of measures being that it is LIVE

it is true we do not have the entire picture..

Fox does have adds during breaks. about 30 extra minutes, 9matches over a season that a lot of time for advertising and to keep sponsors happy.

I don't think that is too bad - it is a very minor sport in Victoria and you see soccer and netball rating the same or worse - and they are much bigger. Agree, it was a Thursday night, prime time, no AFL up against it.
