Where do you go to get access to there numbers?

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
