belaguttman Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) For those without Foxtel, the good news is that this year the Friday night games are being broadcast in HD on SBS ONE. Here's the bad news, the frequency of team appearances seems to be based on entertainment value, of course Heart was certainly not entertaining last season so we get few games. I feels sorry for Phoenix fans though. Visitors 10 Roar 8 AU 7 SFC 6 Jets 5 WSW 4 Melbourne 4 CCM 3 (LOL) Perth 1 Nix zilch!

Embee Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) 10 for Visitors? I guess it was entertaining seeing all sorts of teams but bags of goals past them last season... Edited August 14, 2014 by King Malta 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Perhaps someone can explain it to me why is issnt, but I think this is a bit of a nothing story. I dont think the different digital channels compared to the main channel of a station matters that much anymore. Especially with SBS. It was on HD last year anyway on channel 30 and I dont think SBS one is HD anyway....But I could be wrong with that. Not suprised to see tasmania getting the most games. I am just sick of us getting fucking sunday afternoon all the time. Edited August 14, 2014 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japiedog Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't mind not having Friday night matches, though the TV coverage is good to pick up new fans who may watch, that said, if we play crap then we wont pick up any new fans Gee as a Melbourne Rebel fan, every home match was a Friday night, that gets tiresome for a whole season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Couldn't give a fuck. 3pm Saturday arvo games every round for us is the way to go. Friday night is our opportunity to showcase our team to the football-curious. The way we played on Tuesday though they less FTA appearances we have the better!

thedukeofhearts Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't really care about our matches on SBS, but seeing the amount of games some teams get compared to others is a bit crap. I know they want to put the 'bigger' rating teams on, but it isn't close to being balanced !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulhollanddrive Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 7 David Villa games at home in theory. Not that we need the money anymore. If we're any good we should win 7 of the first 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTinator Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 It's quite simple this move. The digital channels don't rate anywhere like the main channels. Even with the extra capacity provided by the digital channels, the networks still use their main channel as the flagship. http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/seven-tops-tv-ratings-for-year-20131201-2yjw2.html The best rating for a non-main channel was GO! 4.20%. SBS2 was a paltry 0.8% while SBS ONE was 4.5% 2013 TV ratings: by the numbers Networks ranked on a combined* basis (*Main channel plus digital channels) Seven: 30.70% Nine: 28.60% Ten: 17.20% ABC: 18.10% SBS: 5.50% Channels ranked on an individual basis Seven 22.90% Nine 20.90% ABC1 13.50% Ten 11.80% SBS ONE 4.50% GO! 4.20% 7TWO 4.10% 7mate 3.70% Gem 3.50% ELEVEN 3.00% ABC2 2.80% ONE 2.30% ABC News 24 1.10% SBS2 0.80% ABC3 0.70% 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they want to put the 'bigger' rating teams on, but it isn't close to being balanced !! Perhaps the best thing to keep the comp fair is for the FFA to incorporate a cap on how many FTA games each team gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benzema23 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Channels ranked on an individual basis Seven 22.90% Nine 20.90% Ten 11.80% all the channels I hate. SBS and ABC (and foxtel for sports) all the way. How anyone watches the other channels is beyond me, probably the ACA and TT crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
