36,000 watched that awful display.....sigh!!!

Do you have a figure for the Yankee/Indians game on Sportsnet West. And Red Sox/Tigers game on sportsnet east I think it was.

[Mikey]

Does it count if I switched them off before the game ended?

I thought it was a lot of fun to watch. TFC doesn't have to win to make a game worth watching.

How come ratings on Sportsnet so low? CBC usually gets 100,000+ per game. I am guessing time of these games played might have something to do with low ratings.

This doesnt make sense... shouldnt the demand outside of bmo (14000 waiting list) equal some sort of fanbase bigger than 36000!!!

i'd like to see a comparison of ratings with other kinds of TV and sports in the 10:30-12:30 time frame. Late night isn't that great of a time for ratings anyways.

We also have to realize that MLS is still a fringe sport, in television terms, in this country and so the number shouldn't be all that surprising.

There are a lot of scalpers in Toronto apparently

How do they get these numbers?.. that can't be right. I don't know anyone that watch's baseball.. You are trying to tell me that there were 317,000 watching the jays and angels. Come on.. Not saying there is anything wrong with people watching the jays but really I don't know anyone that would watch a Jays game on TV I know people that catch the updates and scores.. Like myself, but actually tune in.. I understand the ratings for TFC vs. Van would be low cause of the late game during the week. And its kind of hard to beleive that there would be 54,000 watching the jays in the Pacific region.

Prawnies dont stay up that late.
