Brownlow Medal broadcast proves a winner for Seven with more than a million tuning in
Seven’s broadcast of the 2014 Brownlow Medal ceremony saw 1.048m viewers across Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth tune in to see Fremantle midfielder Nat Fyfe take out the AFL’s top award.
The broadcast was the second most-watched show of the night up on last year’s award ceremony which saw 983,000 viewers tune in. It kicked off at 8.15pm following on the red carpet arrivals segment which was watched by 676,000 from 7.30pm.
It also had 222,000 national viewers on pay-TV, easily beating NRL’s Dally M Awards broadcast which had 193,000 on Fox Sports last night with Queensland Cowboy’s Jonathan Thurston picking up the top award.
The on-screen graphics during the AFL Broadcast were terrible last night. There were numerous occasions where the vote graphics were flicking badly with lines through them. I switched between channel seven and fox footy to see if it was the same and it was. Channel sevens AFL graphics have gotten worse and worse this year.
