The footy itself has definitely improved in my opinion. Rating up on fox ... does this suggest people who love their footy and this get fox to get every game and without adds plus the extra footy shows ... the die hards ... are watching more aflw and those less invested and just fta watchers are not flicking over?

Kicking goals: Seven, Fox enjoy bumper ratings for AFL season opener
By Jon Pierik
Updated March 20, 2020

The MCG may have been empty because of the coronavirus pandemic but Channel Seven and Fox Sports enjoyed a bumper night of ratings to open the new AFL season.

Figures sourced by The Age show the clash between Richmond and Carlton - held before an empty stadium - gave both broadcasters a welcome bump in the now-traditional season opener.

Seven enjoyed a five-year high for the match, while Fox Footy had its best ever for the Thursday-night opener - a spike of 24 per cent on last year.

The average national audience for Seven, the free-to-air network, was 1,024,000, up 4.4 per cent on the 981,000 of last year.

The average audience in the five capital cities was 798,000, up eight per cent on the 739,000 of last year.


In Melbourne, there was a staggering 12.4 per cent increase, up from an average of 482,000 last year to 542,000. Seven's pre-game coverage had a combined national average of 567,000 viewers.

Pay television's Fox Footy also enjoyed a strong night, averaging 351,000 viewers, according to industry ratings service, OzTam. These figures do not include those for Fox Sports' streaming service, Kayo.

The season opener generally attracts a crowd of 90,000 in Melbourne so the networks would have benefited from those fans watching at home.

AFL delivers bumper Seven share
June 12th, 2020
By David Knox

AFL is back.

A nail-biting Collingwood v Richmond match cracked the magic million last night at 1.00m viewers across Seven and 7mate. In Melbourne alone there were 668,000 viewers.

Seven cites this as the biggest regular primetime match in a decade. It topped the demos and ensured a huge network share. The game began with a bending of the knee for the Black Lives Matter movement, featured fake crowd noise and cardboard cutout fans, ending in a draw -the first between the clubs since 1917.

By comparison NRL drew 372,000 in 2 cities on Nine. It should be noted another 16,000 watched on 9GEM which Nine still codes separately. Why?

Channel 7 no doubt relieved the footy is back.


AFL back on Seven: Bigger ad breaks for advertisers after goals
By James Manning

Seven West Media’s chief commercial officer Kurt Burnette this week led an online presentation to coincide with the relaunch of the 2020 AFL season.

During a short introduction Burnette talked about how the AFL restarts as part of a brand refresh for Seven that started with Big Brother which also returned this week.

The AFL relaunch event was held at Seven in Sydney and on location on the set of The Front Bar in Melbourne.

Image

Later during the presentation Burnette said the AFL will be a great companion piece for the rest of Seven’s new 2020 primetime line-up. In AFL markets, it will be footy four nights a week starting with The Front Bar on Wednesdays then live footy Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The remaining three nights will feature Seven’s major primetime franchises.

Following Big Brother in the 7.30pm Sunday, Monday and Tuesday timeslot will be Farmer Wants a Wife and then Plate of Origin.

Image

Joining Burnette to talk up the renaissance underway at Seven were network sales director Natalie Harvey and network digital sales director Nicole Bence. Bence is one the survivors from Pacific where she was commercial director.

Harvey talked about the increased use of virtual signage which is set to become a feature of the new look coverage with empty grandstands being filled with advertising during longer ad breaks after goals are scored.

The Seven execs also talked about the reduced ad loads that had long been a feature of the AFL, and was introduced during Big Brother this week. Watch The Front Bar though and you understand where some of those ads might be going!

The host of the Melbourne segment of the AFL relaunch was Seven News Melbourne’s Jacqueline Felgate.

Although Mick Molloy wasn’t on set, he delivered a short video explaining this week was the “most anticipated round two launch in AFL history”.

Marcus King, head of AFL broadcasting and scheduling, told Felgate: “Four rounds of the fixture are now done, only 16 to go. And then a 2021 to do after that! We have worked closely with Seven to make sure Thursday and Friday games are huge. On June 22 we will announce the next block of games. Our hope is border restrictions will ease. If not we will continue to schedule in short blocks.”

Kidd then played an example of the audio from a game in round one. “We have been working with our audio people on adding crowd effects. [Plays audio] Very subtle, but they add a lot.”

The AFL and Seven has also been working with Zoom on an initiative sponsored by Toyota bringing nine Collingwood and nine Richmond fans into the game by showing them on a Zoom screen at relevant moments during the Thursday clash.

Image

Seven is also promising to show every match of every team live into their own states outside of Victoria.

On the matches where Seven supplies the feed to Fox Footy, Seven will now place all ads siren to siren on those Fox Footy games.
Another guest on the set of The Front Bar was Seven AFL producer Gary O’Keefe who said no commentators will be travelling during the initial rounds.

“We are not putting one person on a plane for the first four weeks. Brian Taylor and Wayne Carey are in the commentary box and Bruce McAvaney is in studio in Adelaide this week. We think it is a world first with commentators in different states calling the same game.”
Daisy Pearce will be on boundary duty on Thursday night.

When asked about the possibility of a twilight Grand Final, Kidd said: “We are working toward late October – maybe 24th. We will make a call closer to the actual date.” Regarding match days, Kidd added: “There is no chance of matches being scheduled Monday to Wednesday. We did consider if we needed to do that, but it’s not necessary at the moment.”


To wrap up the event, Burnette left advertisers with seven key points:

1. AFL is Australia’s biggest sporting code
2. The most engaging break ad slot in marketing – after goals – just got bigger
3. Seven is enhancing the advertiser experience
4. Seven will deliver results for customers
5. Dynamic scheduling – best games now on Seven every weekend
6. Audience dominance of Seven on BVOD
7. An end of October Grand Final will go straight into Seven’s cricket season with India touring. That will be the lead into the biggest Christmas ever for retail.

Ohhh .... I see. Lol. There’s seems to always be an excuse lol. I guess all those Sydney expats in Melbourne have converted to afl? Not one of your better posts Terry lol but hey you’re usually pretty good so we can let that pass to the keeper. I’ll add it to my excuse bingo list though if you don’t mind :).

Oh ... and cue sydney v Melbourne debate and no one moving to Melbourne from Sydney lol.
