Apparently TV ratings are down this year compared to last. I don't know what the numbers were for our opener last year, but 422K seems low.
last years results

2.8 million tuned in at some point with 692,000 steady viewers
But how much of it is from cord cutters? Unfortunately TSN still doesn't have an online only streaming service like Sportsnet Now.
They kinda of do. It's called TSN Go. You do need a cable sub. I use it to watch on my laptop/phone and it's apparently available for the Xbox one. I haven't checked yet. I just moved and the Xbox is still in Abox.
I am seriously just waiting to give either CFL or TSN my money so I can pay for only that.

The season opener overall ratings were up this year, but that is misleading since this year the Als were involved and it was covered by RDS.
Last year it was the Argo/Ticat game and no RDS coverage.
The ratings on TSN were down, obviously the RDS ratings were up from last year, the Als were playing this year!!
Week 7:
Thursday
Calgary at Toronto: 444,000
Friday
Winnipeg at Ottawa: 513,000
Hamilton at Edmonton: 658,000
Saturday
Saskatchewan at B.C.: 533,000
"For the season, the CFL is averaging 506,000 viewers on TSN, down 14.5 per cent. With the Jays struggling, it will be interesting to see if the CFL will be able to*make up some ground in September and October."
Could be worse check out the TFC National TV Ratings:
"Meanwhile, a strong performance by Toronto FC has led to a spike in the team’s ratings, with games on TSN/CTV averaging 93,000 viewers this year in terms of total audience, compared to 59,000 over the same time period last season – a jump of over 57 per cent."
