3 downnation says up 5.4%
While we’ve been documenting the CFL’s encouraging TV ratings all season – viewership on TSN is up 5.4 per cent over this time last year – a deeper dive into the numbers shows mixed results in the nine individual markets.
And when combined with the attendance figures from earlier this week, there may be further cause for concern in some places where the league has traditionally been strong while there are more promising signs in Toronto.
Here’s a look at the TV ratings for the nine CFL teams compared to their 2017 numbers for the same number of games along with their attendance figures.
