Well that's an interesting statistic. Twice as many people watched it this year when it was on as watched it last year when it wasn't. You'll forgive me if that gives me less than massive confidence in the way these things are compiled.

Is V8tv at the track big screens or those little hand held thingies? Either way, it's hardly a reasonable comparison, those who were at the track against those who could tune in from their armchair.

I can almost hear the PR meeting. "And we're thrilled that viewing figures are 100% up on last year"

"Was it on last year?"

"No, but one bloke from the street next door to the track managed to hack into the feed and watch if from his kitchen..."

"Excellent. So this year we got 2"

live qualyfying its so much awesome than the 3 plus hour delay we used to get.

and more people get to watch it live instead of seeing the results before hand, and we know from the posters on here that they dont watch things when its a highlights package and they know the results. So live Qualifying. Awesome

Back to Symmons Plains numbers...

But at least the live qualifying TV figures were up 100% .....

The excuse used for the low ratings on Sunday at Symmons was the World Cup final, presumebly their excuse this time will be the Mayweather fight.... what will be the excuse for Winton?

Surely the aim is for the Sunday viewers to be bigger than Saturdays....

I heard they were actually doing so much better. They only lost $13m this financial quarter. There advertising revenue which they get like 15-25% and plus they have got MasterChef launching tomorrow at 7.30. Compared this year to last year when they got 10-15%. There is a wild thought that Ten could run out of money within 2 years as they will need a cash injection.

I Am A Celebrity Get Me Outta Here!, Shark Tank and Gogglebox have done so well for them. It actually took viewers away from The Block and MKR

In two weeks the NRL will have games running on Saturday, so I'd expect a lower number.

Still haven't seen Tens numbers, will be interesting considering the times they used to televise the replay.

If someone was planning to watch qualifying on a few hours delay on 7 and didn't have the self control to not look up the results for those couple of hours I have only one piece of advice for them-GET A LIFE.

how come you have never said that about people who have to do the same thing for the race. and on most sundays ie Winton next round , they have to wait less than an hour

[D.R.T.]

Despite the live-ness - 63,000 must be a pretty worrying number Pecky.

Putting in perspective - more people turned up Clipsal on the Friday (apparently) than the watch the Sunday coverage of Perth. #crisis

[ford71]

Does Channel 10 replay their highlight packages during the week at all, or is it Sat & Sun night only??

Not worrying for me I get to watch it live

what numbers had they done their business case on DRT? hard to know if its worrying without those numbers

Now whos going to post the saturday nights highlights package numbers

More people turned up at Clipsal on the Friday than turned up at the whole bathurst 12 hour event. Must be worrying for the 12 hour

Still looking for actual figures. What I can tell you is that the V8s were not in the top 20 watched programs on free to air on saturday night, or sunday from what I can tell.

The problem at the moment is that less and less people are watching TV, and this is even more so after 8:30pm, which may well hurt the FTA numbers from the weekend.

Im thinking they dont. will be a summary on RPM on sunday though.

Fox will be replaying often though along with support series

Cheers thanks,

OK, so from what I can see, V8 Supercars on ONE HD also did not rate in the top 20 on the MultiChannel ratings card. Multi Channel ratings are all the 'other' FTA channels (GO, Gem, One, 7Mate etc). The numbers for Saturday night go down to 20th place (BEN AND HOLLY'S LITTLE KINGDOM - ABC 2 146000).

On Sunday the V8s on OneHD again didnt make the Top 20 on the MultiChannel list. Number 20 was A FRANKLIN & FRIENDS ADVENTURE: DEEP SEA VOYAGE on ABC2 with 164000 viewers.

Cheers Peck.
I forgot to set the HDD for the sunday package.
The one downside of the Fox set up is I can no longer put the races onto DVD. I figured for the smaller rounds the highlights will suffice but realised last night only Saturdays hour had been set.

How far back can you rewind the live teev? Will it go back as far as Sunday?

[chavez]

To summarise the current situation the following points can be presented.

1. There has been a marked increase in the number of hours broadcast although that increase is confined to Foxtel.

2. There has been a marked decrease in the number of hours broadcast on free to air television.

3. Qualifying is now shown live for all races which a number of people have posted they enjoy. However the ratings, comparing live qualifying this year with delayed qualifying last year shows that the delayed qualifying drew far more viewers. But that is to be expected - the number of potential free to air viewers far exceeds pay TV viewers.

4. The free to air viewer numbers are down, which even if the same commercial TV deal as last year was in place, with the only change moving to TEN, would also be the case. The same show on Seven will always rate higher than TEN.

5. With no history to guide us the Foxtel viewer numbers may be good - they may have peaked or they may increase, but there must be some concern over the numbers if minor rugby league events are more popular.

Chavez, if you have State of Origin on Nine and then got transferred to Ten it will do the exact same possibly more in figures. So its not always Seven or Nine sports will rate higher then Ten. If the sport got moved to a different network then the current network then so will viewers. Shows are the same as sport, it will do the exact same regardless of the network

If we accept this as correct then the free to air numbers from Clipsal are even worse.

Mark Beretta tweeted about the decline in audiences today. Citing that the Perth round was 1/10th of the audience who watched it 12 months ago

Its the Channel 10 Sunday highlight hour I was after GTR.
Its no biggy, I'll just have a missing race in my DVD set for the first time in 9 or so years (settle OCD, settle )

RPM is repeated on Friday a couple of times, but not the races

[chavez]

The previous deal had the races repeated on 7Mate in the days after the original telecast going to air.

[DAVID PATERSON]

I got home from the Historic Touring Car festival at Morgan Park at 8:30pm on Sunday. I went looking for the highlights package on my EPG and somehow overlooked it.

I was surprised and disappointed when it wasn't repeated on Monday, as I had made a point of avoiding the results. At least 7 gave the impression of actually caring about the sport and the fans, 10 aren't even trying.
