Jeez, the highest rating game this round was a Friday 5:30pm game between a kiwi and South African team..

Admittedly there were a few crackers goin on back on Friday, what with Broncos hosting Souths, Hawks and Crows playing a thriller at the G, and the Reds v City semi in Adelaide, but those figures were a bit disappointing all round for the Rebels game.

Mediaweek for some reason didnt feel like reporting Super figures, and no one else published until Tuesday morning due to the public holiday on Monday. My figures for this came from http://tvtonight.com.au and http://forums.mediaspy.org

Rating seem to be holding up with crowds down.
However both figures are greatly affected by home games for the Tahs and Reds, and how they are performing.
Quietly confident crowds will recover. Difficulty with the ratings is not so much they are holding steady more there is little growth.

as soon as rugby lost its FTA presence in the mid nineties, grassroots rugby and popularity dropped as league took its place. bring super rugby back with a strong marketing push plus all the other stuff like getting it into public schools in 7 or 15 a side format. it's lost accessibility to the masses

If FTA wanted to pay enough for it I am sure it would be on FTA. But they don't, other than for internationals, and even then there is legislation which requires FTA coverage.
We are now a niche sport in Australia, and the niche is getting smaller, due to factors largely outside our control.

For those of us who can't quite remember that far back, what FTA coverage was there back then?

So the best part of sweet fanny adams different from the one Shute game on telly now, except the Reds stream the Brisbane club game instead.

There wasn't 15 Wallaby games a season back then either....
I can remember some Super 10 games on Ten, but there can't have been many

Some fairly ugly numbers last night
Chiefs v Sharks - 46k
Force v Bulls - 30k
They really do seem to have abandoned that Friday evening timeslot. Saturday night must be more appealing to someone somewhere.

Force v Bulls too late for me.
I was up with my two year old at about 5am so got to half time and was falling asleep.
For the Force to rate they need the east coast 7pm slot but this affects the crowd numbers (last night about 9000).

Pretty sure that's the third time this season they have played the Force in the Friday night 9:30pm time slot while prime time is sitting empty..
Stupid scheduling, could have played the Force on Saturday at 7:30 and the Reds on Friday at 7:30 and probably received a greater overall rating.

You come across to me a very level headed poster capable of looking at things especially other codes and putting it into some kind of balance.
I just read an article from the Fin Review and its an interview with Stephen Lowy the chairman of FFA. Reading between the lines he appears to be saying FFA will take a massive cut in the revenue deal for guaranteed exposure on a commercial FTA.

Is it to late in your opinion for the ARU to do the same at the next media deal or do you see it as to late and using your words today to much of a niche sport in Australia today. Or maybe we don't need to do it Fox is OK.
