I'm interested in CFL viewership in the States. Maybe that Highwayman18 or whatever can get that info. Seems like he's in the know.

Looks like they draw pretty consistently between 150,000 and 200,000. Better than the WNBA, MLS, and Arena Football. Nothing spectacular, but it basically costs ESPN nothing to produce and there are no "home teams" playing, it's not too bad.


Macleans did a story last month saying that 1 in 10 Americans claim to follow the CFL either "fairly closely" or "very closely": http://www.macleans.ca/society/two-p...rican-viewers/

I'm always surprised by how many Americans I've talked to while travelling who bring up the CFL when they find out I'm Canadian.
