The PPM's also pick up online radio listening options including podcasts, and even picks up watching shows online on your tablet, phone, desktop and laptop (again has to be a legal viewing site): http://en.numeris.ca/participants/faq-ppm

Sometimes I listen to the radio on the Internet, through my cable TV or via Podcasts. Will my PPM pick up these signals?
Yes. Your PPM will detect all types of radio signals. If necessary, please use your headphone adapter when listening to any of these types of broadcasts.

If I'm watching a TV show on my tablet or smart phone, do I still need to wear my PPM?
The PPM can pick up broadcast signals from any device, so please wear it at all times, regardless of if and where you are watching TV.

I'm aware of how it works slimjim. Also, online streaming does count, so long as it's legal streaming.

illegal will count too ... as long as it has the TSN audio

Huge numbers of fans take advantage of the free OC Transpo service to RedBlacks games; i can get to and from Lansdowne for the games (from out in the Burbs) way faster than ever before - I have walked out of the Stadium right at the final gun, got right on a bus on Bank St. and been home in a half hour or so.

OV, which burb do you commute to and fro from for Redblack games? I'm out in Stittsville and want to go to the Argo game in November. I was thinking about driving, but if I can catch a bus from out this way, for free especially, I'd rather do that than pay and/or fight for parking.

Barrhaven - buses leave every 10 minutes or so during a span - you could park at the big main mall (Riocan) for free where the buses start in this area - so an easy drive from Stittsville. Not sure if there is some sort of similar service from even closer in Kanata, but i would guess there would be?

CFL ratings report: A team by team look at the season so far

Posted on September 21, 2018 by Drew Edwards // 0 Comments

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.

Team	Average viewership	Percentage change (2017)	Attendance change (2017)
SSK	717,958	+14.2	-1.5
EDM	571,583	-5.4	-3.8
HAM	555,675	+3.2	-0.6
CAL	543,183	+3.6	-5.9
WIN	540,258	-7.24	-3.0
TOR	503,473	+10.39	+4.2
B.C.	500,964	-2.28	-4.3
MTL	477,317	+17.1	-11.8
OTT	449,750	+5.3	-3.5

When you think about it sad state of affairs for the CFL when Toronto is the only city with attendance up.

Seems to be a general trend in sports that watching the game at home on HD/4K is preferable to going to the park/arena.

I sometimes think about whether I want to make the effort to go to the game rather than watch at home. This threat to attendance has pushed teams in many sports to make games more of a spectacle than an athletic event, not always to the betterment of the game itself.

Big screen HDTV, cheaper beer and snacks, comfortable lazy-boy sometimes makes you think.

Still doesn't compare to being there live.... at least for me. I can understand the cost and travel time excuses though.... I guess.

There could be many factors at play including cost.
2 Tickets $100.00/game
Go Train $44.00/game
Dinner $70.00
Additional concessions $30.00
It adds up.

$44 sounds rather expensive. Where are you starting from ?
I don't even spend half of what's on you list.

to me, for football, there is nothing that compares to watching it live. I never miss a home game and make one or two road trips every year (not counting games in Hamilton) There are so few games in a calendar year that I don't understand that hardship most people say they have getting to one. Set aside nine days out of 365 for the Argos. Secretly, I am seething when friends of mine start talking to me about the Argos. I am thinking...if they are remotely interested, why aren't they going to the games ???? The team hasn't had much success this year, but all the games have been entertaining, which is what I want. Much better than a few years ago.

Great ratings for football: NFL 824k for the NFL late game and 801k for the early game

The following week, the CFL didn't make the top 30 but just under 1 million average for the NFL late game:
(996k) and 884k for the early game

I wonder what the CFL viewership would be on free TV.

[Neely2005]

I wonder what the CFL viewership would be on free TV.

Last I heard CTV was in 20+% more homes than TSN.
