The Blue Jays run is already a fading memory, but even though the run has ended its effects still linger on.
Aided by the Jays and a subsequent peak in interest in the World Series, along with a touch of NHL action, Sportsnet recorded the best ratings of any month in its 17-year history in October.
Not only was Sportsnet's 10.3 share and average audience of 446,000 viewers a record for the network, it was a record for any sports network in Canada. Seeing that there are only two, this means Sportsnet has surpassed long-time leader TSN -- at least for now.
