NRL and AFL split TV audiences across the country
Nine and Seven’s battle for the ratings win was tight last night, as audiences switched channels dependent on whether they favoured NRL or AFL.
In Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, Nine’s The Footy Show and Seven’s Front Bar went up against one another in the 8:30pm time slot on the main channels. In Melbourne, The Front Bar took the lead with an audience of 281,000, compared to 137,000 for Nine’s The Footy Show.
What’s the point of comparing The Front Bar with the NRL Footy show in Sydney and Brisbane….. aired over 2 hours apart covering different sports. May as well compare The Bachelor with the Midday ABC News.
