Talking Footy

nice stat..

nine million Australians live outside capital cities, representing 36% of the total population

and Australian media still focus on 5 capital cities. lol

only info I could find for advertising revenue for Metro vs Regional
is below from 2016 Jan-Jun 30th

Metro >> 1,349,037,937
Regional >> 389,502,696

so 960 million more per 6 months

Still does not make one bit of difference to viewing numbers .

except almost every single game comparison

And the article goes on to say that people are finally starting to wake up. And when they do Advertising will become yet another area the AFL are coming 2nd in.

Regional areas are getting more built up
and more wealth..

I agree this will change for the better.

it makes a huge difference as to what TV will pay for those viewers though.

Yes it does
But in the context of recent arguments on here about which sport has the most viewers it means nothing .

It does agree it make a big difference , quiet a bit any rate. I do recall reading how NSW and Queensland regionals make more from advertising than Perth and Adelaide . But as the article goes on to say rural advertising is becoming more acceptable and within a few years there will be little difference between the two .

So if we are getting similar now imagine how much more will be getting in a few years.
Biggest cities.
After the five capitals:

6, Gold Coast
7. Newcastle
8.Canberra
9. Sunshine Coast
10. Wollongong

Agree, popularity over a period of time, as in one full year. And on that basis RL is thrashing the fumbling league.

Cue......but but but......Fwidays, Fwidays, head to head, schweduling, schweduling lolololololololol!!!!!!

You need your flippers. you're stuck in the cumulative ratings 'tank'

and those next top 5 big cities have rugby league teams
except sunshine coast, but that is Rugby League Territory anyways..

Another top 8 clash featuring the Broncos last night and again it wont have reached 1m.

Is SOO season still with us puss?

the actually game hit 990k
who cares if it does'nt hit 1 million...
the overall picture of the NRL season is what matters..
