I'm hearing legal trouble, some sort of big suit.Stan currently have a lot to answer for...
For instance, why was the 4K remastered version of Stop Making Sense suddenly removed only a couple of days after it was added to the service on September 1?

Which is where the money is...Afternoon rugby, great for crowds, never good for ratings
They also picked it on a Saturday in the middle of school sport (particularly rugby season) and also having some clubs play that day.Afternoon rugby, great for crowds, never good for ratings
Channel nine paid a lot of money for there not to be a clash.I’d say RA got told that was the day they were playing and decided not to go head to head with the NRL and AFL finals. All school and club rugby was done in Sydney, I think it was a pretty good call and the crowd vindicated it.
You were quick, I deleted my post almost straight away as I realised Ignoto was referring to the afternoon game v SA. Anyway, I was going to reframe it pointing out the above, but also that the game v SA was a bit of an anomaly and scheduled to avoid a clash with a fairly intense program at the Olympics that same night. I think they did a pretty good job with both games, all things considered.Channel nine paid a lot of money for there not to be a clash.
We shouldn't make the mistake of thinking there would necessarily be a broadcaster willing to pay more for a sat primetime spot when it's up against another big final.
We'd need to be playing outside of the NRL and AFL seasons for this happen on a Saturday arvoThey also picked it on a Saturday in the middle of school sport (particularly rugby season) and also having some clubs play that day.
Better scheduling for an afternoon test is needed to reap the rewards of benefiting crowds and also ratings.
I guess similar to NRL, there's 7 games (not including ProD2) each week within the one country. So, a lot of paid watchers across all the games. They posted crazy numbers for the RWC though. I think near 20 million French watched their quarter final, more than the soccer world cup.
I'm always a bit surprised how relatively small the crowds/ratings are for French club rugby.
Having said that, this is all paying subscribers, so a bit different to the AFL/NRL FTA/Fox model
Average for the year being 521,600 which is great for them.I guess similar to NRL, there's 7 games (not including ProD2) each week within the one country.

Just went and looked up NRL, apparently their top watched game was 796,000 average for their Vegas game. But for a country that's 2.5x smaller.
