More Canadian numbers
The numbers are mostly down after a spike in viewers for the first season after the lockout. According to William Houston of the Globe & Mail:
National Broadcasts:
-- CBC's first-game audiences on Saturdays are down 1 per cent (1.381 million).
-- CBC's second-game audiences on Saturdays are down 20 per cent (748,000). One reason may be that they aren't showing the Canucks as much this season.
-- TSN's national telecasts (418,000) are down 12 per cent.
Regional Broadcasts:
We finally have some numbers for Edmonton and Ottawa!
-- Edmonton Oilers' audience on Sportsnet (157,000) is up 19 per cent this season.
-- Ottawa Senators' audience is down 51 per cent on Sportsnet (83,000). A possible Nielsen measurement irregularity is being looked into.
-- Toronto Maple Leafs' audience is down 6 per cent on TSN (471,000 average) and 20 per cent on Sportsnet (416,000).
-- Vancouver Canucks' audience is down 6 per cent on Sportsnet (324,000).
-- Calgary Flames' audience is down 7 per cent on Sportsnet (127,000).
All of these audience figures are nonetheless amongst the very best in the NHL.
