@simmonssteve: 2.9 million was the audience on Labour Day for the Argos-Ticats game on @TSN_Sports. So, yes, people are indeed watching the CFL.

@simmonssteve: The 2.9 million TV audience for the Argos-Ticats on Labour Day is a lot more than any Stanley Cup Finals game did on its own in 2016.

Steve might have mistaken the 2.9 million as the average audience vs. the number of unique viewers at any point in the game. I haven't seen the average audience figures yet but they would have been strong too with that many unique viewers.

I'm assuming that with such a large audience for a Toronto based team and what was an exciting game played in front of a sold out Southern Ontario crowd this game was one of the main topics of sports radio Tuesday. I was not able to listen in. Can anyone verify whether the Argos and the LDC were discussed. If it was not discussed what if anything does that tell us about the business decisions driving Toronto media?

Of course, we automatically ignore Rogers Baseballnet in any of these discussions, don't we?
Baseball talk, baseball analysis, callers with questions about baseball, jokes about baseball, local professional baseball, out-of-town professional baseball...

Yep, and Arash decided he had to be snarky in reporting it.

What is there to be snark about a positive result?

Arash is pretty far up the Jays' rear ends as the Rogers folks tend to be. I haven't read anything from him but he is probably bragging that the Jays are getting bigger numbers.
