Foxtel make close to 50% of their revenue through advertising, by law they can't make any more than that.


Why did they make that law for?


Because it's pay television, not commercial.

Mate - it took one round into the AFL season for Fox Footy to be the top rating STV channel in the land, how on Earth can you do better than that??!! One round!!


The entire round is played on one channel, of course the channel will rate well, but that does not mean its more popular than the NRL, the fact is the NRL s spread over multiple channels and so their is no means of accurately comparing the two, now if we start looking at the ratings of the exclusive Fox games for both codes.....

NRL is the top rating code on Fox. Mr Aussie Rules struggles with channel spatial awareness...


Last Sunday Fox Footy had six shows out of the top 20 Fox shows, inlcuding the top two, both AFL games, and both shown on FTA in the states of one of the competing teams (getting very good FTA ratings for the respective states). The NRL game was third.

The AFL ratings for round one were 65% on round one for last season.

When AFL went head to head with NRL on Saturday night, NRL held the top two positions, by a decent margin over AFL
Then on Monday NRL got 317,000 with no competition, which was 50,000 more than the AFL's best of 267,000 on Friday with no competition.
The stats don't lie: NRL is a bigger sport to Fox than AFL


Indeed the stats don't lie.
For its opening round the AFL got combined ratings of 5.3 million, while the NRL for round five got 2.8 million, which is quite a difference.

I was also just checking the ratings for last night.

Fox Footy had two talk shows reaching 3rd and 4th: 85k and 74k respectively, while poor old NRL on Fox was way down in 14th with only 55k.
And this is the incredible thing, it's one of the very few NRL talk shows on Fox, and as I've said previously, there are a good dozen AFL talk shows on Fox Footy, all getting between 50k and 120k consistently.

You have shown FTA ratings not Fox. On Fox, NRL is more popular than AFL
Talk shows aren't the bread & butter - they are fillers. Fillers particularly for Fox having to pad out their new channel. The same would happen with a sole NRL channel

If you call Football unpopular with Socceroos getting ratings over 350K, what does that say about the AFL?

























See, I can take things out of context as well.......

Then don't try to belittle regular weekly shows that rate quite high by calling them fillers. And how many years ago was the last time the socceroos rated 350k?

And, my word, you certainly can take things out of context. Like your attempt to mislead regarding your insinuation the aleague should get 1/4 - 1/3 of of 1.25 billion because of it's ratings soley on paytv and omitting the fact most of that figure is from sources not including paytv.

At a time when subscription numbers were lower - possibly the equivalent of over 500K today
The 2007 HAL GF between Melb v Adel was the highest rating in payTV history at the time......................only 215K, just for some 'context'

No - I'm adding 5 city metro FTA ratings and Fox ratings for games last round.

AFL - 5.3 million
NRL - 2.8 million

it's quite a difference.

This helps explain why the AFL got $1.25 billion.

ON Tuesday night, AFL 360 was the top rating show, the only other Fox sports show in the top 20 was another Fox Footy show.

We'll see this all season - this is why Fox paid the big bucks to the AFL.


Nope. They did it increase subscriptions, not ratings. The former increases revenue, the latter doesn't.

Edited by stefcep: 5/4/2012 02:32:36 PM


Foxtel make close to 50% of their revenue through advertising, by law they can't make any more than that.


OK so there's an upper limit on increased ratings will add in revenue. Wouldn't that mean even more that Foxtel paid what they did for AFL to increase subscriptions, not ratings?

Yes, but you can't discount earning revenue from ads either.

Fox Footy is now the highest rating channel on Fox, so it will be generating the best ad revenue as well.

NRL on Fox>>>>>>>>>AFL on Fox
Will be interesting to see what ratings AFL get in round 4 for an apples v apples comparison with NRL's round 4 (especially considering AFL won't have the advantage of showpiece games always utilised in the first round of a season)

Advertising on FOxtel is nowhere near 50% of revenue maybe its around 10% .
On free to air they really pack the ads in so per viewer the advertising revenue is much higher.

My post was in response to Mr Ozzie Roolz - he raised advertising on Fox, I raised the absence of advertising during AFL games on Fox
Advertising during NRL game getting 315K>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>advertising during On The Couch getting 80K

Based on that the afl is doing very well on tv when you add its fta viewing component...even more impressive when you take into account that its the most attended code by far.

When the NRL gets less than the AFL for its TV rights - make sure you remember that equation.

NRL: 275,000 x $60 subscription x 7 months = $115M (remember 4 nations - NRL is an international sport)
AFL: 217,000 x $60 subscription x 6 months = $78M

Additional in game advertising - NRL: $10M; AFL: $0

NRL: $125M x 5 years = $625M
AFL: $78M x 5 years = $390M

Remember those more SPECIFIC equations when NRL's deal trumps AFL's

Who really cares guys. seriously the wrong forum to be having a battle over whether the NRL or AFL will get more cash for their TV deal.

This is a Football forum, but the real football :lol:

The TV rights for the HAL is much more important. The addition of a West Syd team should be a huge value add for us, and could well be the catalyst for us to bring stability to the league. Getting the finacial footing of existing clubs now is imperitive. Any expansion can build on that momentum.

Hear hear. I'm agreeing with a Heart supporter on this one.
Let's worry about the upcoming A-league TV rights.
Happy to see some calculations about possible A-league TV rights figures instead of AFL and NRL.

On Monday night, with no game on, Fox Footy still got 3 shows into the top 20.


ON Tuesday night, AFL 360 was the top rating show, the only other Fox sports show in the top 20 was another Fox Footy show.

We'll see this all season - this is why Fox paid the big bucks to the AFL.


Nope. They did it increase subscriptions, not ratings. The former increases revenue, the latter doesn't.

Edited by stefcep: 5/4/2012 02:32:36 PM


Foxtel make close to 50% of their revenue through advertising, by law they can't make any more than that.


OK so there's an upper limit on increased ratings will add in revenue. Wouldn't that mean even more that Foxtel paid what they did for AFL to increase subscriptions, not ratings?



Yes, but you can't discount earning revenue from ads either.

Fox Footy is now the highest rating channel on Fox, so it will be generating the best ad revenue as well.


Is that growing Foxtel's pie or only changing the portion sizes?

If subscriptions don't increase significantly then neither can the maximum ad revenue as it is capped at 50% of subscriptions. AFL may bring more of the ad revenue, but then they're paying a motza just to shift the source of the revenue.

What happens to Fox Footy for the summer? Can't see ratings being much for endless re runs and the latest rumour discussions.

Maybe they are banking on a live cross to the final of the European Championship in Australia Football between Sweden and Finland.

No, I don't think that would be necessary.

In fact, replays of old games would get as much ratings as what some A-League games currently get.

In years to come, there might be demand for replays of GCU vs the Jets, etc.

All of the above. Did you expect anything else? :lol:

Solid ratings for matches that did not involve a Melbourne or Sydney team.

NRL game average - 302K
AFL game average - 211K

Either AFL is going to send Fox to the wall or they are making a very healthy profit on the NRL rights!!
