NHL VIEWERSHIP ON NBC
  • The NHL cites research from Scarborough and Simmons/PMB that shows its fan base as 58 million people in the United States and 13 million in Canada. Of those, it considers 12 million in the U.S. and 8.5 million in Canada part of a growing “avid” cohort who watch games league-wide (note: by league reckoning, this accounts for 3 out of 10 Canadian adults). That leaves almost 50 million fans who fall into this danger zone of caring mostly for their local team.
