on thier website they only give partial info (from what ive found) like the weekly tv show ratings, but sports often don't crack the top 30, although the bc-montreal game cracked the top 30 last week:

but i got the numbers for the sports from a poster on the cfl forum, he posted a blog post from a toronto star reporter

interesting note from his post, BBM starting using people meters, so its more reflective of people going to bars, meaning sports get better viewership numbers then a few years ago.
looking back at numbers from the week earlier, here are some numbers


1. Football, Stampeders at Argos, Friday, TSN: 346,000
2. Football, Tiger-Cats at Eskimos, Saturday, TSN: 329,000
3. Baseball, Blue Jays at Red Sox, Sunday, Sportsnet: 281,000
4. Baseball, Blue Jays at Red Sox, Friday, Sportsnet: 262,000
5. Baseball, Blue Jays at Red Sox, Saturday, Sportsnet: 254,000
6. Auto racing, NASCAR Nationwide Montreal, Sunday, TSN: 223,000
7. Football, Bears at Broncos, Sunday, TSN: 147,000*
8. Auto racing, Belgian Grand Prix, Sunday, TSN: 121,000
9. Track and field, Golden League, Saturday, CBC: 106,000
10. Soccer, Toronto FC at Seattle, Saturday, CBC: 85,000


here is his blog with more numbers, i would imagine he has in in with BBM to get these numbers
