Yeah the A league is going to feel some pain I think here.
I was watching fox sports the other day - the news channel was AFL, NRL then random global sports. Very little on rugby and even less Australian soccer. Fair enough as they dont televise supe and a-league, but seems a little small minded.

All NZ viewers not from Christchurch are tuning in to see the saders get it. It's got nothing to do with the Australian teams.

They don't directly benefit from talking about sports that they don't broadcast, so they don't talk about them.

Yeh I am not sure it is so surprising that fox sports don't care about showing other sports when they've got bulk NRL and AFL content to churn through as well.

Further to the Paramount article. News, has an article indicating 10's days are numbered, is well worth a read its very very very very long, and quite detailed.
Embattled broadcaster Network 10 is facing “serious turmoil” amid failing programs, sliding ratings, an ad revenue crisis, and a messy ownership battle at its American parent company.

Further to the News article on 10 above.
Wonders aloud
Murdoch has wanted 10 for decades and tried to buy in when it was in receivership but Paramount piped him at the post at the last minute...
News, reporting 10 is going under, hhhhmmmm.... Fox and News have always wanted a FTA. Just think if Murdoch buys 10 from Paramount Global, uses it as was said to be part of his plan to help run major sport by being FTA, Stream, Subscription and Print.
He had permission to buy last time and put in his bid, and as I said Paramount piped him at the post.. and getting that permission to buy took over 12 months..

Love the cynicism (truly, I do) but they're quoting researchers and media industry experts in the article saying that 10's position is untenable - maybe there is something behind NC shining a light on it but there is definitely a lot of smoke anyway. 4th behind the ABC last year and no light at the end of this dark tunnel

It was a bit disappointing this morning to see Offsiders on ABC have no mention of Rugby. While I have gotten used to this as a long time viewer, surely a 10 second mention of the conditions in Sydney last night could have made to cut?

Super Rugby Pacific - Is anyone watching? - Sports Industry AU
A quick look at the year so far in Super Rugby TV ratings. And I mean real quick, because there isnt much to work with. Australia Under the current deal live Super Rugby is being shown on the Nine network for the first time. STAN data has never been made available. According to the 2023...

I am not being biased since I am a Tahs fan, but if the Tahs were firing, you would get a much higher number. NSW and QLD are our strongest markets.
Really hoping the Reds secure a home semi or quarter, so hopefully we'' get decent numbers

That's quite a few people tuning in at some point, and very few watching a lot of it

Fair play to them.
Last night's NRLW Origin match was higher rating free to air (by average audience) than any NRL or AFL match this year.

What does reach mean? Is that a guess at how many are watching each TV?
The number surprises me, we have a TV at work that often has league on it and I don't think anyone knew the game was on.

Reach is the number of people who watched for at least 30 seconds. It's a number cooked up by the FTA channels that is apparently the same as what websites use to determine their views.
I'm a bit suspicious though and I think it's just a way to hide the FTAs increasing decline over the last decade.
Still that NRLW origin number is impressive even looking at the old average audience measurement

Doubt that, didn’t even know it was on. Probably would have had a look if I did
