  1. "Baseball hits home run with Canadian viewers" by Chris Zelkovich:

      Canadians have found a substitute for hockey, for a couple of weeks anyway.

      Wednesday's less-than-thrilling seventh game of the American League Championship Series scored a ratings record for Rogers Sportsnet in pulling in an audience of 1.1 million.

      That's impressive enough, but it doesn't tell the whole story.

      Because ratings for American channels aren't tracked in Canada, nobody knows how many Canadians watched the game on Fox.

      Using the industry rule of thumb that half the viewers prefer the American channel, we can assume that about 2 million Canadians saw the game.

    That's really strange that they don't track ratings for U.S. channels in Canada. It seems like a useful thing to know.
