Bertrum says:
Is it also worth noting the actual game last longer for AFL so if both afl and NRL achieved same ratings, it is worth more for afl as game is longer?
Meme1 says:
I notice the difference between the AFL and NRL is that while the AFL gets more quick views the NRL gets more eyes staying longer. Is that a fair summation?
Not that simple. The reach is generally higher due to the lead-ins. Over past 2 years or so NRL has increased and / or AFL dipped.
