ALM TV Ratings

[patjennings]

Ah thanks for the intel understand now.
So the ratings no mates posts up each time are just the FTA games over the weekend.

So essentially a very incomplete measure (no offence NoMates as the figures are the ones you can get). I rarely watch football on FTA so even a football fanatic will not be counted. ( I am aware of the OZTAM sampling)

Pretty much. On an ideal weekend there are 6 games. Ratings are only for one third of those and only for that segment of the population that watches on TV. Very incomplete slice of the pie.

yer hence why I have never really bothered looking deep into ratings in the past - worse due to all the different ways to view today.
So misleading its not funny.

I said the other day that the YouTube ratings might be outdoing the FTA. Just had a quick look, and three round 15 matches had over 38,000 views. Not sure if that's calculated the same as FTA, but close to that 40k figure.

I think you need to be a bit careful in comparing FTA ratings with YouTube numbers.

As I understand it (it's many years now since I last participated in the ratings surveys), FTA ratings show the estimated viewers of the live FTA broadcast in Australia, sampled from the population of households which possess a television set. (I think - please correct my understanding if it's not accurate).

YouTube also shows live A-League broadcasts, although not in Australia (as far as I am aware). Therefore, YouTube figures for live A-League broadcasts are drawn from a population that is not living in Australia. People such as myself. I live in the Philippines and YouTube is my only way to watch live A-League. The broadcasts attract a number of viewers, for example the current match being shown is Brisbane v WSW and just prior to halftime, there were about 6000 people viewing the live stream. Other matches featuring more popular teams than Brisbane will usually draw considerably more live viewers.

The other thing with YouTube is the viewing of replays. Here, instead of live viewers, a figure of the number of times the video has been viewed is given. Whilst I am sure this is probably a meaningful measure of popularity, it doesn't compare like with like - ie live YouTube viewership v FTA ratings for the live broadcasts.

I think what all this goes to show is that continuing to focus on FTA ratings as a meaningful measure of A-League popularity (or interest) is a very flawed concept.

Ratings are sampled from people that have agreed to have an Oztam box installed on their TV. There are 12000 Oztam boxes in use at any given time.. They then make an estimate based on those 12000.

They also use Nelson ratings too and combine them.

youtube viewers of the Z league are almost exclusively hardcore gamblers who are looking for any live football game they can bet on at any hour of the day.... they even tune in to NPL games during the season.

the live chat comments are often amusing, but repetitive... farmer's league... mafia league, fixed etc

It's crazy how much the ratings go up and down. It definitely means people will turn in for derbies and finals but not the average game

Probably no different to crowds, how many that attended last night will be at victory or citys next home game? On established evidence less than half.
