From Brioux.tv some of the Olympic TV ratings for Canada. Interesting numbers for the two heartbreak hockey games and for curling...Funny cartoon from Aslin..Olympic hockey: great games, lousy results, good numbers – brioux.tv

In Toronto, CBC RadioOne had a 25% share of the audience.

The ratings are actually not great for hockey. CBC is very misleading with press releases, as they use "peak minute" instead of the industry standard "average minute audience." The hockey was well below 4 Nations, Blue Jays, Super Bowl, Grey Cup and so forth...... this was expected for Sunday's gold medal as most of the west coast hadn't woken up yet

What's wrong with talking about the peak minute when the US got the goal for the gold medal? All networks do this for big sports events like the Super Bowl, World Series etc. Many people would likely be interested in that. Here is more ratings information from CBC...30.5 Million Canadians watched the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, with Record-Breaking Digital Audiences | CBC Media Centre

Any business, tax funded or not will ALWAYS try their best to only use "Favoured numbers" to make their business look good.
