Average of 3.5 Million Watch Grey Cup Yesterday
Thanks to the broadcast on both TSN and CTV, early ratings for yesterday's Grey Cup show an increase of 19.9% in English Canada. Quebec was another story with viewers down significantly after last year, when the Montreal Alouettes were in the final. More complete ratings data will be available later in the week. A few surprising breakdowns from football yesterday and some NFL ratings from 3 Down Nation..

Not even kidding. First I heard of it. I'm not sure how I missed it?

Had the Argos not been in the Grey Cup, I am sure those CTV Toronto numbers would be significantly lower. I know I wouldn't have been watching.

Do you win a prize for continually trashing what other people like?
While not a classic, the Argo/Bomber Grey Cup game was an entertaining watch. I'm a regular CFL viewer.

Nope, but I am streaming it live on my phone, along with several thousand other people. I'm also listening and watching live reports from most of the major Toronto news outlets who had at or near the top of their newscasts at noon.

Hopefully CTV will continue to carry CFL games next season on Saturday afternoons. Interesting according to the article that the Grey Cup game actually had more viewers in Toronto than the much hyped simsubed Buffalo- Kansas City matchup on TSN/CBS, about 24% more viewers. Now I am sure the Buffalo contest had the more coveted demographics, but it is still significant,
Nice that CTV News Channel, CP24 and CBC News Network made a big deal about the live ceremony at city hall this afternoon. CTV and CP24 have a vested interest of course, but good that there was decent coverage.

South of the border, according to Sports Business Journal, the Chiefs/Bills game averaged 31.2M viewers. Excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas Day games, this is the most watched regular season NFL game since the 2007 week 9 game between the Tom Brady 8-0 New England Patriots and the 7-0 Peyton Manning Indianapolis Colts. [Brady won 24-20]

Between mace and paterson1 the ratio is almost right on.
The population of the USA is approximately 10 times that of Canada so I would expect the 3.5 million stated by paterson1 should equate to 35 million in the USA which approximates the 31 million from mace

A little more ratings information on Sunday's Grey Cup. Sports Illustrated reports that the total reach for the game was 9.9 million viewers. The half time show with the Jonas Brothers had 4.25 million watching on TSN/CTV and RDS.
