+x+x+xI haven't found any ratings figures for WU vs Roar, needless to say, we didn't make the top 20. I was looking through the Media Week twitter feed and found this interesting article about Fox ratings for the AFL this season. It's interesting because it includes Kayo figures for four games, so good to make comparisons with the Fox ratings. https://www.mediaweek.com.au/foxtel-reveals-fox-footy-2020-growth/Foxtel reveals Fox Footy 2020 growth, details streaming numbersFoxtel has released viewer data highlighting the audiences for the AFL’s Round 9 to 12 fixture featuring 33 matches over 20-days, with live audiences for Fox Footy up 14% compared to Rounds 1 to 8, and up 59% compared to Round 9 to 12 in 2019. Released for the first time, the data covers Foxtel set-top boxes together with streaming platforms Foxtel Now, Foxtel GO and the fast-growing Kayo. It highlights the fan engagement with the 2020 season so far with live audiences up +34% compared to the first 12 rounds of the 2019 season. Average audiences for Foxtel are up 10%, and Foxtel Now, Foxtel GO and Kayo audiences are up over 200%.
So the streaming figures are over 50% of Foxtel Linear, but crucially, the Fox ratings remain very high (and have increased over last season), and the streaming figures are up by 200% as well (presumably off a very low base). In other words, both sides of the equation are up, they haven't leaked one side to feed the other side. I have said it before, I don’t understand the obsession with television ratings. Of course Fox are going to talk up AFL and NRL ratings these sports are their main focus, football is dead to them now. I think they only continued through to the end of next season due to the threat of legal action. By the way, Mediaweek seems to be in thick with Sky News and we are talking about a Murdoch organisation whose newspapers are often ‘loose with the truth ‘. Whether we like it or not, broadcast dollars are the lifeblood of professional football. Also drives sponsorship, there's no surprise that sponsorship dollars have dried up once sponsors worked out that no one is watching. I mean completely dried up. All the major sponsors walked away months ago, none have been replaced. Overall, we're basically back at season one, although luckily, we get to earn $32 million for one more season. Do you think covid has anything to do with sponsorship dollars drying up or its purely got to do with foxtel's less 30m?

I think Fox fear that may if in 10 years time, A-league is being managed properly again, new teams and unlikely but possibly a pyramid is introduced, the younger demographic of fans could allow for it to boom again. So if Fox want in again, whether they survive as a platform themselves they want to be viewed somewhat positively by the FFA and fans.

Last Sunday’s elimination final between Western United v Brisbane Roar averaged 49k on Fox Sports. That figure included 32k on Foxtel and 17k on streaming platforms Foxtel Now/Go and Kayo. data obtained by TV Blackbox reveals a preliminary figure of just 8k watched the delayed free-to-air coverage of the elimination final on ABCME. The Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory elimination final had an average audience of 31k on Fox Sports. A figure which included a streaming audience of 10k via Foxtel Now/Go and Kayo. https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2020/08/26/abc-programming-decision-set-to-hit-a-league-grand-final-ratings-this-weekend/?feed_id=13915&

Ok, so some useful info there. So first final, which included Perth and a non-Aust team, averaged 21k on Fox Sports and 10k across all streaming platforms (so approx. 2:1 ratio of Fox to streaming). 2nd final had 32k on Fox Sports and 17k on all streaming platforms, once again, close to 2:1 ratio. Meaning? Means that we can be pretty confident that if that 2:1 ratio (Fox vs streaming) is holding firm, that effectively means that Kayo MUST make up less than one third of all Fox audiences as an average rating. It means that whenever we see a Fox Sports rating of between 9k and 18k, as has been common since the resumption, the Kayo rating is going to land somewhere betweem 4.5k and 9k at the very, very best.

People on here seem to know what the ratings are for Football/Soccer, League and AFL in Australia but Australia has a very small population compared to a lot of countries around the world. Does anyone know what the numbers are for ratings for the three codes outside of Australia? There is plenty more eyeballs overseas, who is watching?
It would be interesting to know what how many people are watching the Australian competitions from overseas in comparison of total numbers watching the three codes?
I would say there would be a lot of countries where a vast majority of people have never heard of AFL or League but almost all people around the world would know about the world game Football/Soccer.

A pity, because they will lose out on the golden years in the future. The juggernaut is building.

Rating are in free fall for a variety of reasons...
Arguably well IMO the biggest impact has been 3 maybe even 5 years of a constant,negative, toxic, civil war, which has allowed anyone with any grip a voice box to be negative.... we seem incapable of turning off the negativity... almost a drug now... In part the civil war has created expectations and timelines beyond what can be achieved in many instances... The old saying you can't Sh!t in your own nest and it not effect you.
I often commented the biggest mistake the Lowy / Gallop reign had was they lost the conversation on what to do and how to do it... there time spent in mending fences and trying to hold back time and playing Jim off against John resulted in lost years on where to go and what to do... and it festered like an un-cared for sore ...
Maybe for the first time I am concerned .... its not that we won't have a professional competition but what it will be that concerns me.. if the A-League falls over what will emerge after it will pale in comparison... despite what many think ...as if destroying FFA & the A-League will allow a super power to rise an conquer all..
That we still have people willing to invest if media reports are correct is encouraging...
JJ cannot do it alone ... I hope he has the skills to get control back of the conversation ... however its a big ask given how many camps, and how polarised many are to their views...

I'm not worried, I would be worried if people actually didn't care like we have been led to believe by ratings but what I saw was a crowd that was unequalled in passion and atmosphere in Australian sports, and a game that meant a whole lot to the fans, the players and as a part of the global sport of football. You can bet that there will be people willing to invest in that. My only hope is that we don't go backwards now in terms of the cap just to accommodate the smaller clubs. Open it up and let those smaller clubs compete at their level with ambitious NPL clubs and expansion areas.

However, was the final live on Ten bold last year, or delayed? That could play a small part in the ratings drop. Not the whole thing, but a part of it

“....Delany, speaking at a sports conference on Tuesday, failed to specifically mention rugby as one of the major codes Foxtel was happy to continue doing business with. “In the past we have tried to have every sport we could get,” Delany said. “To be frank, there are too many sports in Australia with too big an expectation and too small a population. “We are now quite fearless of losing a sport. If a sport is asking too much money and we can't make it work, and someone else can, well good luck to them. “We can see quite clearly the sports that are working and those sports know who they are. We did a great deal with the NRL to review our relationship. I want more of the NRL. Our relationship with the AFL is really fabulous. I want more AFL. The motorsports are going well for us, and we like cricket. “But they are really the tier one sports and the rest are going to have to adjust.” Delany’s comments were viewed as a back-hander to the other two major football codes in rugby and soccer, but Clarke brushed aside the remarks on Wednesday and is adamant the 15-man game is still in a position to be purchased for a good price when negotiations formally begin.” https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/rugby-is-a-tier-one-sport-ra-boss-optimistic-as-foxtel-talks-tough-20200902-p55rrz.html

I would have hoped that we've all worked out this reality by now.
Rugby and football are not top tier sports in this country as far broadcast dollars go.
We are a step ahead of basketball.
Thereafter, there is a long list of team sports that have zero media interest, far too long to bother listing them all.

I didn't say the number was high, I said I was surprised that as a percentage of total viewers THAT PERCENTAGE is higher than I actually thought it would be. Not that the ratings were higher. 84,000 vs 66,000 that's about 44% of live viewers were watching digitally. I'm not trying to pretend they are good overall numbers, it's just an interesting stat that we haven't really known until recently. Don't worry, I wasn't trying to be positive or anything heaven forbid, it's just interesting.

Hang on.
Weren’t some people here suggesting that the play was of a much higher quality during this final winter period?
Weren’t some of these people also suggesting that higher quality play would deliver higher ratings?

It’s like laying pavers in a garden and you say “hang on it’s still bumpy and I’m walking on dirt” give it time you cant be against solely because it puts you out on your weekly schedule. Think big picture.

Being in the off-season, for at least 4 months, might be useful to keep an eye on the ratings for all sports. This is from the Fox top 20 for last sunday, the top 12 shows are all sport.

I don't know.
I'm not really familiar with Brisbane, except that the Broncos are usually the biggest thing in town.
I think their aiming for a crowd of 30.000, so it's not going to be a huge crowd, recalling that the Roar managed to get over 50,000 to a couple of grand finals in Brisbane.
The AFL will have a keen eye on the ratings, which, given it will be night time in Melbourne, might break some records.
