Grey Cup takes the top spot across Canada: Numeris

In addition to being the top-rated show nationally, the game was also number one across every major English market.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers aren’t the only ones with reason to celebrate following this year’s Grey Cup, according to Numeris data for the week of Dec. 6 to 12.

The championship match-up between Winnipeg and Hamilton Tiger Cats brought in 2.889 million viewers nationally for TSN, making it one of the highest-rated broadcasts of the year. It was also the top rated show across each major English-speaking market, including 654,000 in Toronto/Hamilton.

The pre-game show was also a big ratings earner, with a top five spot nationally, as well as in Calgary and Edmonton.

In Quebec, Radio-Canada comedy Discussions avec mes parents was the top-rated show, drawing 1.307 million viewers for this season’s penultimate episode.
