The Women's world championships set a viewing record for TSN. Not surprising with Jennifer Jones on her run and the Cinderella story of the Chinese curlers. Here's the release from TSN.
TSN’s coverage of the 2008 Ford World Women’s Curling Championship was the network’s most-watched World Curling event ever with an overall average audience of 381,000 viewers, as Team Canada skip Jennifer Jones clinched gold on home soil.
The previous high for a World Curling Championship on TSN was 366,000 viewers in 1996.
TSN’s prime time telecasts during this year's Worlds averaged 487,000 viewers. The most-watched telecast was Friday evening’s Page Playoff game (March 28) which drew 613,000 viewers as China defeated Canada 7-5.
TSN televised all 11 of Team Canada’s round robin games, as well as the Page Playoffs.
TSN.ca had live coverage of 6 World Curling Championship draws, while all 13 draws were available on-demand. The website averaged nearly 8,000 unique visitors per draw, marking a 160% increase over last year’s World Curling Championship.
why cant TSN have a camera in a position that we can watch the progress of the moving rock in relationship to the circles
ReplyDeleteit's almost as frustrating as watching golf coverage where most of what you see is a white ball against the sky
