It’s shocking how much higher AFL’s peak ratings are in comparison to league. Of course the AFL runs a lot longer, but if you somehow shaved an hour off an AFL game, the average ratings would probably rise around 100-200k. If not more.

10

The reason it does is because it runs much longer, reducing the broadcast time would reduce the reach…

I wonder when the peak reach figures are determined because AFL also has a big advantage compared to NRL. An AFL game is still ongoing way longer after an NRL game is finished. Naturally there would be some people who would switch from the NRL game once finished to an AFL game which can help the AFL reach figure. It doesn’t work the other way because once an AFL game is over the NRL game ended a lot earlier to the NRL reach cannot increase from AFL crossover.

12

? Reach measures the number of viewers who have seen a program at least once, whereas peak viewership shows the highest instantaneous audience size.

13

Saying the NRL was the “top footy code of the night” shows are remarkable obtuseness to the numbers slapping you in the face

Channel 7 won the night by 6%. The game had 440,000 more viewers than the NRL. On the east coast it ran from 810 to near enough to 11PM on a Thursday night. Despite finishing an hour and a half later, the post match for the AFL had a higher average audience than the NRL’s post match.

Just absurd really. And the argument that “the AFL has a higher Reach because it goes for longer” is even more moronic. It completely inverts logic. The AFL has a higher reach because it has a bigger audience. It has a lower average for a given audience because it goes for longer.

The average audience of shows is what determines the network share for the night; reach figures don’t factor in.

Seven won the night mainly based on two things.

  1. The AFL, though it had a slightly lower average, ran for much longer than NRL.
  2. Seven’s alternative programing like Dogs Behaving Badly was 100,000 higher than Nine’s RBT.

Yeah, more than a million people turned it on and switched it off… amazing! Somehow I think getting viewers engaged enough to actually stick around and watch the program would be the primary goal for networks.
