HNIC 10PM Game Hits Season High
January 13, 2010 1 Comment
William Houston reports:
Hockey Night In Canada, Game 1, Pittsburgh-Toronto, plus New Jersey-Montreal and Florida-Ottawa, 1.755 million.
Game 2, Calgary-Vancouver, 1.607 million. That’s a big audience for the second game.
Hockey Night pre-game, 619,000.
Next weekend’s numbers are going to be interesting to watch, too, seeing as HNIC is without a Leaf game for the second time this season. I wonder whether an all-Canadian matchup (Sens-Habs) will pull in a better number than what figures to be a pretty good late game involving the second biggest English market in Canada (the Canucks, who’ve been playing decent hockey lately) and the biggest Canadian superstar in the NHL.
