I bet on Creek over 21 pts and Froling double double.

Agree Ben, hopefully a good contest, SEM by quite a few.

Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul

Great viewing this.

There has been 12 minutes played in this game.
So far, 21 fouls with 25 FTs attempted.
Is this what people want to see?

Still a far better product than nba

Both teams in the bonus after 3 mins LOL

HAHAH, the NBA actually FLOWS.

The NBL is SO DESEPRATE to be seen as a high scoring league to try and attract big name players to the league so it can resemble the NBA are artificially trying to increase the scoring.

Anyone seen to be playing defense is regarded as the devil.

Basically the NBL is saying no one is allowed to defend.

When the NBL wonders why its TV ratings are so bad have only themselves to blame.

Siva is so bad

I am talking about the product.

There literally is zero flow in this league.

The owner is so obsessed with making a profit, he is prostituting the game for his own pocket.

He does not seem to realise it will hurt him in the long run.

This is not entertainment and the TV ratings prove that

RIP Hawks. 37 points down with 6 mins left.

Stop watching if you don't like it dumbass!

Did I miss something? Where did the Hawks'sponsor go? All the jerseys are blank..

MCR still on the back, rest sponsors left with goorg mate, well had run dry.

Best you disappear for good, jacket.

This is not entertainment and the TV ratings prove that

Can you please post a link to where you have seen the TV ratings?

Sunday4/12/22 ratings for pay TV top 20 programs are at least 45,000 viewers

Basketball wasn't in the top 20

Saturday top 20 was at least 41,000 No NBL game or program

Friday top 20 saw NBL Postgame at #17 with 25,000 viewers

Thursday NBL Postgame had 29,000 viewers for #16

Cricket gets 160,000 - 200,000 viewers

Supercars 100,000 - 140,000

Basketball is irrelevant as a media item

Friday top 20 saw NBL Postgame at #17 with 25,000 viewers

Thursday NBL Postgame had 29,000 viewers for #16

Thanks for posting.

NBL will never rate as high as cricket or Supercars.

Those numbers are higher than I thought they would be to be honest.

Is "post game" referring to the number of households who have just watched the game?

No, its the show

Meaning that the wrap up with Hooley , Homocide et al gets more viewers than the game itself

Does everyone who has a Pay TV subscription have ESPN though?

Asking as I don't know - how accurate really are 'ratings'.

Do they account for people consuming NBL through Kayo and other means?

I think it's a little foolhardy going off PayTV numbers alone.

Meaning that the wrap up with Hooley , Homocide et al gets more viewers than the game itself

Those figures don't include Kayo, it's purely Foxtel.

ESPN is also on Fetch TV.

@koberulz

If it was the game that rated it would be listed as such. I cant find any NBL game that has rated inside the top 20 programs of its day.

The ratings are average viewers at any time across the broadcast. The games almost always run into the post-game show, so the ratings you see for that are effectively the average viewers watching the end of the game.

"ESPN is also on Fetch TV."

I'm pretty sure those ratings don't include Fetch TV.

Yes, which was my point.

@koberulz

If it was the game that rated it would be listed as such.

Aha, well it was a good point then Perthworld!

@koberulz wrong

Pay TV know what program is on and when it finishes

The ratings go by the scheduled times.
