I could be wrong since I haven't followed the TV rights all that closely but didn't Seven pay roughly the same as last time but this time they received only half the content? Last time they (and Ten) purchased all eight games and onsold half to Foxtel, this time Seven purchased four games and Foxtel purchased nine games. Effectively the value of the FTA portion doubled.

Can we by any chance just make this a ratings thread and move these "discussions" someplace else?
Whose bright idea was it at Ten to show the Suns v Dogs instead of Melbourne Richmond. Even at the start of the season you would of preferred the latter.

probably the same bright spark that worked out how adelaide gets no coverage of the wce v blues 
No need to get flustered RedBum, RL rates very well, so get used to it
Clearly RL does not rate as well as the AFL and cannot deliver a national audience like the AFL.

You could always try there instead of cluttering up an AFL ratings thread with off topic posts.

I don't think many league fans would be disappointed with a billion dollar deal. It would be a massive increase.

(I have removed David Dale's slightly droll commentary on what states are broadcasting what sports.)
My commentary: Another strong AFL night. The NRL continue to shoot themselves in the foot by holding a game in Perth and then failing to broadcast it outside of Sydney/Brisbane. What purpose does that serve? Interstingly, they also had very poor figures for the second game in Brisbane, given that the Broncos were playing near-live.

True, it did, but the slack in that game was picked up in the Adelaide ratings. Last night's Melbourne ratings were better (as you'd expect).
Just to put perspective on it, the average Friday night figures for FTA are 669 (nationally) and 416 (Melbourne). However, this is pretty skewed by the Geelong/Collingwood game. The median Melbourne figure, which is probably more meaningful, is 409. Last night wasn't really that far off.
Also, keep in mind there are no 7MATE figures included there.
Well there goes one of the NRL fan's favorite argument down the drain. They always go on about why their second game rates so poorly. They always say it's because the second game is delayed by 2 hours so it's over by the time the game is broadcast (like Perth have to put up with every Friday night for AFL).
Well last nights NRL game in Perth was at 7pm Perth time so only 30 minutes delayed for their Sydney and Brisbane audiences at 9.30est. Plus it included the broncos which are one of their higher rating teams ( amazing what happens when you have 1 team for 2 million people).
Yet it still rated much lower than their 7.30 match, and much lower than the AFL, despite being broadcast at the same time. Just goes to show what a massive detrimental effect showing the AFL delayed, late and over 3 hours has on our ratings average. Come next year when the telecast starts at 7.30 we should see a big improvement in ratings.

Dont want to whinge, because generally the AFL do a great job IMO, and i am not just talking about TV, but i don't remember the last time that i looked forward to a friday night game TBH, St Kilda would have to be the worst team in the comp to watch, and yet they have plenty of friday night games.
Saturday night on the other hand seems to have better games, yet it s bit of a black hole for viewers in general with much more stuff on.
Essendon's wheels have fallen off, which is not the fault of the AFL, but friday nights have been pretty boring lately for footy.

So the 2 city game beat us again...
The population of those 2 cities equals the population of our three.
Add to that their games are live in to each city, start at 7.30, and are only averaged over 2 hours.
A better comparison is to average their 2 games together so you get a game that's live and a game that's later and delayed. We win that comparison every week, even though we almost always have a game targeted to one of our 3 heartland cities.

21k each watched AFL in Sydney and Brisbane last night.
Oh, and which club was targeted in Brisbane for the live game last night in the NRL?
The second game was targeted to Brisbane and Sydney, two of RL's more popular teams, and only on 30 minute delay. How did it rate again? Hmmm. Looks like your 9.30 game doesnt rate crap because it's aired after the game finishes as you say. It rates crap because RL fans turn in to pumpkins after 9.30pm.
In this spirit of this thread, the Suns v Dogs game attracted 16,000 fans today, while the Titans/Whoever game attracted 12,000.
The death of rugby league/league heartland LOL/? etc.
EDIT: Admittedly, NSW regionals were not included in the crowd figure.

Well, yes. But since when has it been all about Melbourne ratings? Wait a couple of weeks when it's West Coast v Geelong. Assuming 7 show it live or close to it, it'll get 300k in Perth.
If 7 want games that rate, then the AFL should schedule less all-Vic clashes.
I doubt there would have been 50k combined.

Outstanding result from Sydney. 134,000 cumulatively. Definitely on the rise after some reasonably soft ratings earlier in the season. Could push 150-200k by the end of the season.

Seriously makes you question the accuracy of the 10 and oneHD ratings when the games are simulcast on both channels. Last night was on 10 only and if I am not mistaken it rated quite a bit better.

Apologies, simply trying to get a straight answer from Morons Unlimited refugees who come here cluttering an AFL ratings thread with their off topic crap.

Good game though, and Collingwood will obviously rate well in Melbourne. Average ratings tend to be higher when the game goes down to the wire.
Over 200k for Freo v Brisbane as well with the game also live on Fox.
No surprise GC v Dogs rated like shit.

Garbage.
Most people in Sydney would have watched it ad free on Main Event as they usually do, the ratings for which aren't available.
