TSN's double header of Sunday football didn't suffer from the plethora of NFL games available on the debut weekend of the American game.
Rogers Sportsnet and CTV have both picked up NFL broadcasts this season, but in the late game of the day, the CFL seems to have handled the competition quite nicely.
William Houston did the number crunching for the Globe and Mail and the ratings results showed that the CFL can more than hold their own and their audience.
Some of the ratings for Sunday:
CTV pulled in 255,000 national viewers for the Denver Broncos-Buffalo Bills.
While Sportsnet had a 75,000 for a split telecast of Chicago Bears-San Diego Chargers in the West and Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Seattle Seahawks in the East.
The CFL's Winnipeg/Saskatchewan showdown attracted 419,000 viewers for TSN, topping even the prime time Sunday night game later on TSN which drew 307,000 back to the tube for the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys game.
