When quoting the ratings for Sunday Night Football, you should be noting that the rating you list does not include Canadian viewers who chose to watch the game on NBC. This is also true for other sports programming that is not simulcast because the Canadian rights-holder is a cable network rather than an over-the-air broadcaster. This is a fundamental flaw of the BBM rating system, and should be noted.

Nope, it’s right the way it is.

CFL Viewership Jumps – you have a typo in your numbers. You have “Demographically, the 18-34 group, which is the advertisers’ target, made up 18 per cent of the total audience, up 38 per cent from last season;”. Shouldn’t that be “made up 38 per cent …, up 18 per cent …”

Mr. Houston, I’m happy to have you back, but the expression is “stock in trade” not “stock and trade”. You should have given the column an extra read if you were going to make a point about potential copy-editing issues at the Star. (I’ll let you off the hook with regard to the “pertaining” typo.

Not a great time to say that the Red Wings are great on the road. Losing @ Toronto is what I consider a great road team…

I used to really like MacLean, but he just keeps getting worse and worse. He wasn’t too bad at the Olympics last year, but on HNIC hes just annoying now. I’ve started watching Hockey Central instead of CBC’s pregame show on most Saturday nights.

one would have thought that it would be MacLean’s job to bring facts to Cherry’s racist fomentations. perhaps this is too much to expect, but it’s also a good reason for choosing not to watch.
