Last week’s historic championship win by the Toronto Raptors was also historic for television.
Preliminary numbers from Numeris say 7.7 million viewers tuned into TSN, CTV and RDS for game 6 of the NBA final, making it the most watched NBA game in Canada.
15.9 million Canadians, or 44 per cent of the entire population, tuned into some portions of the game.
Nearly 10 million watched the final minute.
The numbers do not include those who may have watched on American channels
