Western Final TV Ratings

[In Motion]

They were very good:  https://3downnation.com/2019/11/18/tv-ratings-bombers-riders-delivers-largest-cfl-finals-number-in-recent-years/

Did the Tim & Sid Show even mention the CFL today??  They were blabbing about the NFL right off the top,  so I tuned out and sent them a note of complaint.  You'd think with Hamilton in the Grey Cup they would have at least mentioned it.

Thanks for posting that.

Some numbers from that article:
 

It was the highest rated English language program on television Sunday, November 17. CTV national news came in at 1,081,900. 
In the important 25-54 age range, 562,600 were watching the matchup at Mosaic Stadium, more than doubling any other sporting event. The 1 p.m. easter time slate of NFL games checked in 610,900 across CTV stations country-wide, which ranked fourth — 248,500 in the 25-54 demo. The next slot was the Sunday Night NFL tilt on TSN between the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams, drawing 546,400.

2019
Edmonton at Hamilton — 898,400
Winnipeg at Saskatchewan — 1,631,900

Average: 1,265,150

2018

Hamilton at Ottawa — 729,000
Winnipeg at Calgary — 1,222,030

Average: 974,650

That was good for TSN..

What was bad for TSN, and short sighted, was not airing the Uteck And Mitchell Bowls on Saturday..

I'm hoping Usports gets some more air time next year. Some really exciting games, especially this time of year.
