I've noticed that SEN, which has boosted a-league for years, seem a bit desultory this year when discussing it.

I don't know how the Fox numbers compare, but the SBS numbers have been abominable. I think every game has been well under 100k for all 5 capitals.
It must be close to a stage where the cost of production alone is greater than the revenue it brings in. The numbers are pretty close to what the NBL was getting for One before it got ditched. And I don't think Channel 10 paid anything for the NBL rights.
In saying that, the Fox numbers don't seem that bad. Interesting to see how it holds up once the BBL starts - traditionally it hasn't held up well.

Those A League figures would have to be a worry so early in the season esp the TV ratings nosediving just when the FFA are hoping to get more money.
79k on Fox for the Sydney derby seems low? Does anyone recall what the Swans v GWS games typically get on Fox?

For an early in the season clash? yes its low. Same game last year pulled 128k on Fox in round 8 and 135k on Fox in Round 19. Both games were played on the saturday.
For GWS and Sydney, it depends on the time of the year I think.
Round 3 last year pulled 192k on Fox, and another 47k on FTA. (Sat Twilight)
Round 21 last year pulled 60k on Fox and another 55k on FTA. (Sat Arvo)

That's a massive disparity between those two sets of numbers.
Having attended the second game in person, I wish I had the option of switching off too. Was over at qtr time.

Yeh - can't argue with that!
that said a big proportion of your fans are traditional type of people.
the game is marketed to a traditional audience.
If it moves away from that it alienates some of its core fans.
Dont get me wrong, i think they would be higher ratings with a night time slot, but I am not sure it will be all that much more. The biggest thing that will impact the ratings for either code is the two teams playing in the game.

no *s given about the BS commentary on Fox Footy then
They can claim 4 of the top 6. That's pretty good in anyone's language.
So the AFL GF on Sat arvo beats the NRL GF on a Sunday night.
That may end the push for a prime time or twilight GF for now at least.
Yes but overall the throughout season the AFL is streets ahead and thats what National advertisers look at not just a handful of matches that rate well and thats one of the reasons the AFL gets a lot more from TV.
the AFL is not streets ahead.

In terms of TV ratings and broadcast revenue, that's true, it's pretty close, but in terms of everything else, there's a bit of a difference.
Not arguing that.
