short term pain, better than a slow death

Sunday night well down from previous weeks, people must have been watching the ground staff at the wacca putting the covers on the pitch!

A far better watch tbh. Those earlier games were dire.

The BBL tv figures are around 800k viewers in the metro area and about 1.2 million including regionals. 

How much did Big Bang Theory score?

Got rid of fox this week. A league was only thing keeping me from cancelling previously. The football is just terrible and better to save the money. May look at streaming next year but product on field has to improve. Was barely watching any more and previously would watch most games on weekends. 1 game on FTA is enough for now.

what were the ratings last night?

It didn't make the top 20 so we don't know.  From memory #20 was about 34k.

What an league. 

Fox ratings from yesterday
WP v SFC: 39K
MC v MV: 77K

No mention of FTA sat ratings for a few rounds now, makes me wonder how bad they must be? 

That would be close to a lowest rated melb derby for fox..imagine it outrated the one broadcast lol

The last 3 Christmas derbies have rated 81k, 76k and 62k so 77k is about what would be expected.

Trying to catch up on my spreadsheet

Looking for the following ratings

Rd 11 Fox

Jets V AU

Perth V nix

Rds 9 & 11 for 10

Didn't make it I don't think. 

I'd love to see if there is any correlation between the drop in viewership of the A-League and a drop in subrscription numbers(if any) on FOX.

In this day and age if you have some form of Optus subscription you get unlimited access to EPL, and then for something like $20 a month you can get a Bein subscription, in which you get access to a larger amount of games than the FOX/Bein channels throw up.

Then throw in a smart tv with mirror cast or the chromecast dongle, which costs less than $100, which then takes away the limitations of only being able to watch on a tablet or phone and it works out a hell of a lot cheaper than Foxtel, almost making it obsolete.

At the moment I'm lucky enough to use my old mans Foxtel Go login to watch A-League and Bein but knowing the above scenario is available, my old mans talk of getting rid of Fox doesn't even have me worried about missing out on HAL knowing I can still watch majority of the major leagues for half the cost of Foxtel.

If your old man is like my mum then he's been "getting rid of foxtel" for 11 years

@bohemia

😂 He's one of them on again off again people when it comes to Fox.

Has it for two years, gets rid of it complaining there is nothing on and then after a few years of watching FTA he gets it back on and the cycle begins.

My old lady is the type that complains she always misses every show that's on but is still using the first model set top box

are the BBL ratings up or down compared to last year? there doesn't seem to be as much of a buzz about it this time around. 

I had the cricket on the ABC radio yesterday and through lunch in the test match they were talking about how there isn't as much buzz about BBL this year and that if they continue to extend the season like they have and plan to do more so in the future they'll risk detracting from what made the BBL so popular which is the convenience of it being school holidays entertainment. They did mention they haven't played any of the 'derbies' yet.

I personally have no interest in it but it was interesting listen to the likes of Gerard Whately and co who are very cricket positive.

Can you imagine an extended BBL season and higher profile, extended WBBL season. 

i think it has been extended this year. isn't it going in February?

I don't think an extended BBL will actually help them, it is successful because it is a fun short term tournament in the school holidays. 

Thats interesting considering crowds have already been huge, 20k+ for games in melb and sydney, sydney derby sold out, perth sold out the other night and brisbane had 34,000 last night...imagine when they get rolling into the new year!

However they wouldnt wanna expand it too much as the bulk of the games are played on weeknights..even for holiday period it amazes me seeing people watching a live sporting event that ends as late as 11pm some nights.

This year they've extended it by a couple of matches each team into regional areas, hurricanes are playing a game in Launceston in a few nights, but they were talking on the radio about extending it to a home and away season which the commentators I was listening to stated was overkill. They referenced the English version of BBL and how quickly it died through overkill.

They also stated fears for what will happen to Sheffield Shield etc which have already been trimmed to fit BBL in.

That's a nice way of saying we are not putting a team where you are but please continue to blindly follow the league.
