I wonder how much of it was CFL faltering or other factors:
1) 3-15 Riders team. Losing the Saskatchewan Dispora ratings-wise is a big chunk of the audience right there. Despite being the self proclaimed 'best fans in the CFL' a lot of them stopped watching their games and other league games as well
2)The Blue Jays success. I found myself missing watching Stamps road games on TV this year because the Jays were on in important games down the stretch. I'm a big Stamps fan, but a chance at watching a playoff bound Jays team for the first time in 22 years was very compelling.
