More Canadians watched the GREY CUP Sunday night on TSN and RDS than ever before.
Preliminary overnight data from BBM Canada confirms that 6.1 million viewers watched Sunday night's thrilling CFL championship game - making it the most-watched GREY CUP ever* as well as the most-watched telecast of the year in Canada**.
More than 14 million Canadians, or nearly 43% of the country's
population, watched the game in whole or in part.
An incredible 8.35 million viewers were watching the broadcast at 9:49 p.m. ET on TSN and
RDS as Montreal kicker Damon Duval converted his second game-winning field-goal attempt as time expired.
The combined TSN and RDS audience for 2009 GREY CUP surpasses the previous combined Grey Cup audience high of 5.2 million set in 2002 by
16%.
TSN's GREY CUP audience of 5.087 million becomes the highest audience ever recorded for the network, surpassing the 2009 IIHF World Junior Championship Gold Medal game that attracted 3.7 million viewers on TSN
earlier this year. RDS' French broadcast attracted over one million viewers.
