You can take any one data set and make a case for winning or losing depending on which side you are on.
The only thing that really matters in the tv war is the revenue derived from it. Ratings are based on survey data and dont factor in out of home or commercial viewing (ie pubs). And anyone who thinks decisions on rights are derived from the publicly available data needs their head examined.
Well yeh exactly, I agree and that's the reason the afl typically get more tv money. The tv heavies know what gets more eyeballs and more of the types of eyeballs that you want, when they dig deeper into the data. I'm sure they don't fall for the trick of the nrl gets more viewers than the afl, coz they take into account game length, overlapping games, prime time slots, double/ triple counting of certain viewers etc, etc.
I found it funny straight after the afl finals and g.f wins in tv ratings that abdo came straight out to announce 'we got more viewers than the afl did across the year'. I can imagine Peter straight on the phone to him 'get out there and make an announcement, we need to control the narrative' .
