You don’t know anything if you don’t know the Kayo numbers. The preferred viewing platform for football supporters is Kayo not Fox Sports so without those numbers you can’t draw any conclusions .... unless you are pushing something of course. 

What am I pushing exactly? I hope the A-League Kayo ratings are big...all we can currently go off is O'Rourke's 15k average a game comment last season.

“You don’t know anything if you don’t know the Kayo numbers.”

That’s right. 

And YOU don’t. 

Yet you draw conclusions that suit you. 

O’Rourke said they were about 15k. Waz apparently knows better —- without knowing anything. Rinse and repeat. 


If AL was such a ratings winner on Kayo, why would Fox be offering it for free?

Yep I know, but looks like they will get a $20 million a year deal with Stan soon.

Thats nice. With as many as 5 bidders chasing the AL, we should be looking to double that amount. The minimum benchmark would be to top the $100 over 3 years Super Rugby got.

exactly

unfortunately, for people like Waz, if you don't sign up for the conspiracy ratings echo chamber, youre not a real football fan, or pushing some secret agenda.

I think that's right, that we should have the expectation of matching whatever Super Rugby got.

NBL: 23k Fox
AFLW: 32k Fox

23k is pretty good compared to recent history.
The NBL getting 23k is massive for them, close to a record.
The AFLW is declining compared to first couple of weeks of ratings.

It’s not offering the A League on Kayo for free. 

You either know this but post that comment anyway, or you don’t know that? 

Fox Sports have said they will allow some content from  “tier two sports” to be broadcast for free. Not all of it, maybe a game per week ... why would they do that? Read the articles on the topic ...

Sorry Waz, you are wrong, direct from Foxtel's website & link to article below:

Selected A-League and WLeague games will also be available as Kayo Freebies

https://www.foxtelmedia.com.au/news/kayo-sports-launches-game-changing-freebies

No content from ratings "winners" like AFL, NRL or cricket is available on the "Freebies" channel because that is content people pay for and has large subscriber numbers.

You can try and spin it anyway you like, but if AL Kayo numbers were that great on Kayo, Fox would not be giving any away for free.

We don't have much info to go on, but I think it's fair to say that only "2nd tier" sports are being given away for free.
Is it possible to jump from 2nd tier to 1st tier if it's free?

They are making some games free to try and grow the audience. AFL and NRL have lots of games on FTA so there isn't any point making games free to grow the audience.

They are making some games free to try and grow the audience. AFL and NRL have lots of games on FTA so there isn't any point making games free to grow the audience.
 thats the point, if the Kayo figures for AL were so great (and according to some better than AFL or NRL) why do they need to grow it?

With AFL and NRL ratings, the games which are shown on FTA and Fox simultaneously have Fox ratings AL would kill for so no need to grow it as they are getting their return

Games from Monday and Tuesday failed to make top 20, which is surprising, it cut out at 26k and 27k.

WSW v Victory didn't make the top 20 of the fox ratings, which cut out at 23k (the Adventures of Paddington).
Once again, you'd expect the two biggest clubs in the land to be able to reach 23k.

Just checking the Fox ratings for yesterday, no A-League game cracked the top 20, cutting out at 24k with NCIS and Blue Bloods.
No surprise that no one wants to watch the Victory at the moment.
The thing about yesterday is that no other sport was on, that I can see, except three AFL womens games made the top 20, not with particularly high ratings mind you.
Western Bulldogs vs Melbourne came 6th with 41,000.
Even the Giants made it to 10th with 30k.
But no A-League.

And still people think that playing in the clean air of summer will lead to broadcast gold.

SFC/BRI was 20k on Fox, and for what its worth, the a-league games all trend above AFLW games and generally at No.1, so I guess our smaller audiences are far more engaged than AFLW or Super Rugby audiences. Either that or TV ratings just aren't an accurate indication of how many or how people watch TV anymore.

At what point do ratings on Foxtel for sports, outside the major promoted sports ,become irrelevant?
When Foxtel have openly stated they are not interested in Football,Rugby and ‘minor’ sports,who are the football fans that still have Foxtel?
Those that have strong connections with AFL ,NRL and Cricket no doubt.
I am sure most ,except those with the full Foxtel package have moved elsewhere.
What are the Rugby ratings now there is no Rugby on Foxtel?

Once something ends up on a streaming service, the word "ratings" is never uttered again (and when that time comes for the A-League, perhaps we can all breathe a sigh of relief).
With Fox, it's a classic chicken and egg case.  They're not supporting it, so no surprise there are no ratings, but equally, ratings are so poor, you'd have to question why they would want to promote the A-L to the upper echelon of their sports offering.

Neither A-League game made it in Foxtel's top 20 for yesterday, cut out at 28k.
Top 5 completely dominated by the NRL, Raiders v Tigers got 259k.
Two AFL womens games made the top 20, best was in 10th spot with 43k (Brisbane v Collingwood)

NRL on Foxtel STV boxes rated 2.022m for R1, up 16.27% on R1, 2020 and the highest rating R1 on Fox since 2018.

R1 of the 2021 NRL season was watched by 3.844m viewers on 9 and Foxtels traditional networks. (a further 152,000 watched Thursday night footy on Fox Go/NOW/Kayo). This figure is up 4.7% on R1 2020, due to a big increase in Foxtel ratings.(+16%).

As of next weekend, all four national football comps are up and running.

From Inside Sport article:

Last Saturday’s TV ratings results saw 89,000 fans tuning in across two A-League games. The NSW derby between Sydney FC and Newcastle drew 54,000 on the ABC with another 13,000 watching on Fox Sports, while traditional rivals Melbourne Victory v Adelaide attracted 22,000 on Fox Sports.

By comparison, the three NRL games on Saturday rated well on Fox Sports with NZ Warriors and Gold Coast attracting 170,000, Sydney Roosters and Manly 233,000, while Penrith and North Queensland had 265,000 viewers.

Even the Super Rugby game between Queensland and ACT had 85,000 viewers on 9GEM.

The AFLW game between Melbourne and Adelaide also outrated the A-League with 83,000 fans watching on 7Mate and Fox Footy. Also on Fox Footy, North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs attracted 37,000 fans while St Kilda v GWS had 27,000 fans.

The AFL season kicks off this weekend with some blockbuster matches expected to further impact on A-League numbers.

A few club owners and CEO’s were contacted for comment but declined to do so given the confidential nature of the current in progress TV deal.

It is understood that Stan Sports are firming as favourites to get the TV rights, with a free-to-air channel reportedly ‘interested.’

Amazon and SportsFlick are also considered contenders.

Fox Sports looks likely to lose its 16 year partnership with the A-League.
