2013 CFL Season Second Most Watched On Record

With a metro population of more than 1.2 million, it will be interesting see just how much the introduction of the Ottawa Redblacks will increase the ratings next year. The CFL is already the most-watched weekly sports broadcast in the country, with the exception of Hockey Night In Canada.
