Do they still do that- I thought Maccas pulled out once they realised how unpopular VAR is.

Maybe, also, everyone is so focused on the replays they wouldn't be paying any attention to any sponsors.

Maybe Maccas pulled out when they realised Channel,10 would cut to Hungry Jacks adds whenever VAR was being used? ..... 

SATURDAY night TV ratings share:

7 NETWORK - 39.4%
9 NETWORK - 26.0%
ABC NETWORK - 18.6%
TEN NETWORK - 8.4%
SBS NETWORK - 7.6%

And looking at the news ratings from that night (FTA, 5 city metro)
7 news - 886K
9 news - 648K
10 news - 223K
(this was the only TEN program that made the Top 20 shows for the night)

The match on Sat night had 65k viewers.

Does anyone know if the Victory vs Jets match was FTA in Victoria only?
I saw that 65K metro number but someone said 29K in Victoria watched the Victory vs Jets game:

https://tvtonight.com.au/2022/02/saturday-12-february-2022.html

Either or, the vic metro numbers were 29k out of a 65k metro total

10 had the SFC game in NSW and the MV game in VIC.
I'm curious, which game did people in QLD, SA and WA get on FTA?

Updated

I wonder if anyone in Australia bothered to watch the Superbowl during work hours on FTA today? Probably not as it is trying to appeal to a young demographic like the Aleagues are and under 30s dont have televisions apparently eh?

Only 391,000 bothered -> https://tvtonight.com.au/2022/02/super-bowl-lifting-in-australia-seven-wins-monday.html

Oh shit, looks like the APL is gonna start booking 90s rappers to perform at half time now.,,,,, gotta do something to get the peeps watching...,,

Ill hold out for them to book Terzi.

What about ad brea.....I mean drinks break entertainment, surely APL need to keep the crowd warmed up during those as well and nothing gets the younger demographic going like a bit of corn hole!!

Hahahah they could resurrect Mitropano and Kazantzidi and I still wouldn't watch man. hahahahahahahahahahah

"corn hole" is what APL is doing to soccer in this country :) 

On 10, a repeat of Bondi Rescue had 89,000 viewers before 62,000 watched the A-League match between the Melbourne Victory and Central Coast Mariners.

so the match actually lost viewers 

89k may have been there at the start, but by the time that 10 minute VAR came on what was an obvious offside, half had dropped off.

Yeah that VAR decision impacted the last 5 or 6 weeks worth of ratings. I think we can use it for another month or two

The pub was rocking last night, 6 TVs going, they had aflw Richmond v West Coast on 3 of them, on the other 3 they had Sydney Kings v Illawarra NBL, which I think was on ESPN.

How can you not have a single TV on 10? That’s with Victory playing as well, pretty staggering.

no surprise here 

I found it staggering that an inner city Melbourne pub wouldnt at least have it on with Victory playing.

To put it in perspective i watched the 2020 pre Christmas Victory v City derby at this same pub and they had half the tvs on ABC showing the game.

Either they had no idea it was on or the whole thing has completely fallen off a cliff over the 24 months.

Bumped for 2 interstate nbl teams is absurd.

Checked again. There's a Macca's banner everytime a goal is scored and it's they sponsor the match highlights videos.

Total ratings so far (updating CityHarrison's post):
20/11: 146K (102K metro) [Sydney derby]
27/11: 88K [Adelaide vs City]
4/12: 85K metro [Sydney vs Newcastle]
11/12: 89K metro [Adelaide vs Victory]
18/12: 63K metro [Melbourne derby]
26/12: 57K [Victory vs Western United]
1/1: 72K [Adelaide vs Wellington]
8/1: 84K metro [Victory vs Adelaide]
15/1: 56K [Adelaide v City, Sydney vs Brisbane]
22/1: 45K [Sydney vs Perth]
29/1: 42K [Western United vs City]
5/2: 110K metro [Victory vs Central Coast - FFA Cup Final]
12/2: 65K metro [Sydney vs Western United, Victory vs Newcastle]
19/2: 62K [Victory vs Central Coast] 

The first reason is no one cares.

But did you ask? Any pub I've gone into and said do you mind putting the soccer on they'll usually do it if they have multiple TV's.

Cricket especially the BB is in crowd and ratings steep fall.....Super Rugby is in small decline this season to date after a growth spurt when the 9 Stan took over broadcast ... Super V8's were down the previous year...

Tis interesting as a broader question is say traditional sport under threat from non sporting actives and E-games... I have three boys in their 30"s and non watch sport one is into egames... another into broad games.... the other not into sport at all.... 

I just wonder aloud if we are well into a demographic shift and sport is being replaced by other actives 

Maybe but also I think the A-League was new and different and a bit niche and ALMOST hipster cool sort of thing or a while.
It's like young people always like bands when nobody knows about it then abandon them when they become mainstream.

NBL is probably even taking some of the newer "looking for something cool that other people aren't into when I'm young" crowd

SO....you're saying the AL was just all plastic to begin with?

sheesh

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH looks like you are "Hipster Cool" bud. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ugh sure.
You guys are just not worth it.
Discussion is now genuinely impossible here I can't be bothered
