I know that I did 2 years ago, and friends had deserted them over the years prior. 

Pretty good ratings considering it isnt show in pubs and hotel/motels, which account for 30% of Fox subscription.

Probably reflects about 240k if it was.

I think it will be interesting if we can see the subscription numbers for Foxtel as at Sunday and again in a month. I know a lot of people that have cancelled today. That will take a month to flow through depending on the billing date

Just cancelled mine and good riddance. 

ratings never include pubs and hotels

They are an estimate based on a number of selected homes and then expanded using estimates based on number of channels and packages being subsribed to.

I would have thought the Foxtel ratings are based on the set top boxes, since everyone has to have one to watch Foxtel.

That's right.

you can't estimate if there are 2 people or 200 people in a pub watching.  ratings have never taken account for pubs and clubs

You cant estimate how many people are watching in a house either, all you can do is extrapolate based on reach, which takes into account the number of subscriptions to each channel.

Not sure if anyone put this up at any stage, some interesting stats for the A-League re streaming numbers:

A-League

OPINION | Fragmentation of sporting rights will be short term pain, long term gain

https://kick360.com.au/opinion-fragmentation-of-sporting-rights-will-be-short-term-pain-long-term-gain/

While the idea of more and more streaming services sounds expensive, football fans stand the most to gain from the increasing fragmentation of sports content and changing broadcast market.

Earlier this week, the APL (Australian Professional Leagues) and ViacomCBS announced the long awaited new TV rights deal bringing a much needed refresh after 17 years with pay-tv operator Fox Sports.

The five year deal, reported to be worth $200 million including cash and commercial contra, is the first domestic OTT (streaming service) orientated rights deal to be struck by one of the major sporting codes, and the league’s first rights deal with a major commercial TV station (Network Ten).

The devil is in the detail. ViacomCBS, the parent company of Network Ten, is better known to most as the owners of Paramount, and of course the Paramount+ streaming service.
The Story of TV Viewership

Many have questioned the commercial thinking behind the deal. Australian Football often has a very glass-half-empty attitude to itself, many saying that the game is in fact dying.

You could very well make that argument, poorly, if you rely solely on the released TV viewership statistics, but again, lies, damned lies, and statistics.

The OzTam figures regularly used to underpin the ‘nails’ in the coffin tell half a story. A-League TV viewership is down on the Fox Sports’ conventional Pay TV cable channels.

That is a fact in the statistics. But OzTam figures do not aggregate any streaming numbers at all.

VOZ, which is the new reporting service from OzTam set to analyse streaming figures, has not yet launched, and was delayed at the onset of COVID-19.

Australian Football fans were early adopters of streaming services.

The launch of Optus Sport rocked the apple cart, and introduced the world of streaming to fans of the World Game.

The introduction of the telco into the world of sports broadcasting, forced News Corporation’s hand, and rushed forward their Kayo platform.

Australian football fans are more vastly spread, and according to Roy Morgan analysis in 2015, peak at the age groups of ‘25-34’ and ‘35-49’.

Cricket, conversely, peaks quite highly at ‘65 and over’. In the same study, Football was more watched more than cricket in the ‘under 25’ age bracket.

Roy Morgan data in 2020 found that viewership of the NRL was dropping significantly in the ‘Under 25’ and ’25-34’ age brackets, down 9% and 10% respectively from 2016.

To compare with the earlier cricket comparison, NRL TV viewership peaks at the ’50-64’ age bracket, followed closely by ‘65 and over’.

When looking at SVOD/OTT take up in Australia, it would be no surprise that the surge in growth is driven by those aged ’29-34’.

I just want to be clear about this - as you obviously didn't realise - pubs and clubs have never been counted in ratings for any television event.

For FTA or STV.  Sports or reality tv.

Well, in the face of such overwhelming evidence I have no choice but to concede.

ratings MON 19 JUL 2021
•#1 network/primary: SEVEN (26.3%) / Ch 7 (19.3%)
•#1 program: #7News 1.23m
•#1 multi: 10 Bold (4.5%)

I'm not familiar with 10 BOLD, not sure what's on there, but pretty good that it was the no. 1 multi channel.
From memory, W-League will be shown on 10 BOLD.

Here's my answer, looks like it's repeats of NCIS that have put 10 BOLD on top:

Finally, wanted to catch up with what's rating on Fox, check out the top two spots!  Who is watching this rubbish?  No wonder Fox is going down the gurgler:

I watch it.
Do yourself a favour and get informed!

FTA ratings for last night.
I'm guessing one of these must have been the Matildas:

Yep, 635kmetro + 281k regional, 916k all up

916 K is huge...

Boys got 627 K metro last night ...

Paramount must be happy with the success of both teams... great led in Socceroo WCQ...

810k nationally, great numbers. Would have got a couple hundred thousand more if it was on the main channel.. easily outrated what was on the main channel too

Good stuff, Wallabies nearly got 1mil the other day too

Pleasantly surprised to see Mad as Hell rates so well.

lol

Horrible night for eurosnobs and soccer haters 

Wow Foxtel is dying by a thousand cuts.
Years ago,even the A League was peaking above 100k.
