TORONTO – TSN2 has crowned itself as ‘Canada’s most watched digital channel’.
Citing BBM Canada data from January, the network said that it ranks 21st for overall audience, ahead of many long-established analogue channels, and first amongst the diginets for its overall average audience in key advertising demographics.
The network said that it set a new audience benchmark for audiences on a digital channel with an average of 902,000 viewers for the IIHF World Junior Championship semifinal featuring the United States and Sweden last month. It also aired live NHL, NBA, NCAA and NLL event coverage.
“Our plan is to keep growing TSN2 by giving fans more live coverage of major sporting events along with more of the best sports coverage possible”, said TSN president Phil King, in a statement. “We are looking forward to announcing some key additions to the TSN2 schedule in the coming weeks.”
A recent change to TSN2’s condition of license will allow the network to up its broadcast of live sports events.
