All the TV ratings for every AFL Foxtel game played so far this year. Interesting figures.

It's good to have the A-League. Even if it only fills 1/10th of the void AFL leaves, it's something

Why are so many rugby league games Live and Active, yet only 1 or 2 a week are Active in AFL?

There is one sometimes two NRL games Active and one AFL game. Not a huge difference.

Anyone who says the regionals mean nothing when trying when comparing the ratings for the 2 sports is deluded.

Of course the regionals mean something. If they are looked at on their own merit. You cannot simply add those figures with the capital city figures due to the overlap between the two.

What does 'Active' mean when talking about 'Live and Active' anyway?

You can look up stats, change camera or even turn off the commentators and listen the ref or crowd. It's BS really.

Overlap??

Austar is not available in the 5 capitals. There can be no overlap and they have at least 800,000 subscribers.

I was talking in the context of FTA in response to Hicham. I know this is a thread about Foxtel, but the regionals argument gets brought up quite frequently for both markets.

Oh ok, nothing special then.

Btw- the overlap on FTA for Qld is supposedly over 1million, this could be why they don't count the regionals, not very accurate.

And to put it all in perspective....the Asian Cup 1/4 final got over 500K. The AFL can only dream of those figures.

A lot of the interstate vs Victorian team game would get beamed on a commercial channel back into the home state would it not??

Every game does.
