A Brisbane-Sydney AFL grand final might be a tough pill for Victorian fans to swallow, but could prove a TV ratings hit for host broadcaster Channel Seven.
Channel Seven is bracing for a potential AFL grand final ratings bonanza that will engage the New South Wales and Queensland growth markets, on top of the traditional football states.
“Imagine how good it would be if it was in prime time , which clearly is the preference?” Jones said. An AFL spokesperson told this masthead the Saturday preliminary final was played at 5.15pm for the second straight year, after stating at 4.45pm in 2022, to allow interstate teams to travel home on Saturday night.
Jones said a twilight grand final was Seven’s preference over a daytime start, but a prime-time decider was still the top priority.
