Play Nice 2024 AFL TV Ratings

[The_Wookie]

Internal trials starting this weekend.

Will be keeping the ratings thread separate to the attendance thread this year.


Notes

Oztam have now moved completely to VOZ. At present this means no Fox or Kayo streams seem to be appearing on the oztam lists. Reach is now the focus of the Oztam reporting although an average for Linear is still being reported.

* NOTE: NEW METRICS AND REPORTS *​

• Total TV Overnight Top 30 and Consolidated 7 Top 30 reach is calculated using cumulative unique audiences watching 1 min of broadcast TV and 15 sec of BVOD.
• Total TV National audience is calculated using the audience average for the program as time-coded by the Network across 5CM and all regional markets nationally watching on broadcast TV.
• BVOD national audience is calculated using the total number of minutes watched (multiplied by co-viewing factor) divided by the length of the program.

Will attempt to get as much data as possible, but Oztam not making it easy any more.

Fox STB's are massive over estimates

Fox STB's are massive over estimates

Its based on last years AFL data so Im comfortable with the assessment.

The overstatement of streaming estimates last year was based on the end of year Oztam ratings releases which started in the last 2 rounds of the home and away season, which put the ratio of STB to Linear at 1.26. The AFLs official total released ratings came in at a signifcantly lower total than the estimated data causing a re-evaluation of that which lowered the ratio of STB to streaming to 0.83 - based on the fact we know what the FTA and FoxSTB aggregated data was for last year.

These will be adjusted if more data becomes available.

I must admit I haven't been paying close attention to this year's Thursday night ratings, are last night's ratings for the showdown big enough to justify the Crows and Power push today for a regular prime-time platform for the game?

It was a rubbish game but the figures outside SA are weak.
