Canadians spent their holiday tuning in, but with most scripted content on a hiatus, NFL and NHL action drew the most viewers across the country for the week ending Dec. 29.

The NFL Early Show pulled in an AMA of 1.19 million, making it the most watched single-night broadcast despite low viewership overall. The weekend edition of CTV News drew slightly less with an AMA of 1.14 million.

Hockey Night In Canada topped the market in Toronto/Hamilton with an AMA of 373,000 while Monday night NFL action drew audiences in Calgary with an AMA of 44,000 and in Edmonton NFL Sunday Prime on TSN averaged 52,000.

Les poule aux oeufs d’or attracted viewers in Quebec with an AMA of 684,000 and the Montreal Canadiens faced the Tampa Bay Lightning near the end of the week, drawing an AMA of 550,000 viewers.
