The Farmers’ Almanac was right: Winnipeg and Saskatchewan produced a high yield.
It was the first West Final between the prairie rivals since 1972 and the Bombers scored a 20-13 win against the Riders in a game which came down to the final play — drama helps boost audiences. Forget sports it was the highest rated English language program on television Sunday, November 17.
Division Finals Sunday TV ratings 2019:
Edmonton at Hamilton — 898,400 (not including RDS)
Winnipeg at Saskatchewan — 1,631,900 (not including RDS)
Average: 1,265,150

I would guess that RDS probably wouldn't add any more than 50-100,000 to those totals at the most.
Also wouldn't be surprised if the Vanier Cup on Saturday gets higher ratings in Quebec than the Grey Cup does on Sunday.
In other news, RDS tweeted today that their Alouettes TV ratings were up a whopping (at least I think it's "whopping") 20% this season compared to the last.
