Small follow-on:
Then again, we can probably compare the week before the WWC started, where Ten was only about 160k in the overnight numbers and again Nine’s not much higher. But again, you only needed 150k-ish to make the overnight metro top twenty which says something.
It just seems a dud spot for free-to-air on a dud day, keeping in mind that probably 250-300k are being dragged to Fox Footy+League at home (plus anyone viewing it in person or in pubs/clubs) on what would already be a bit of a marginal viewing time - and that number would’ve already been diluted slightly by the Matilda’s build-up.
