As 2013 comes to an end, full-year data from BBM Canada provides a snapshot of what Canadians were watching on television this calendar year, and football ranks at the top. The SUPER BOWL, along with the GREY CUP, are among the most-watched television events of 2013 in Canada. Other live television events, like the OSCARS®, and GOLDEN GLOBE® AWARDS, were also of major interest to Canadian viewers. While THE BIG BANG THEORY remained at the top of the charts, for the first time in many years a Canadian series is the most-watched program in the country, THE AMAZING RACE CANADA. On specialty, Doctor Who, curling, and women's hockey caught the attention of viewers, while GAME OF THRONES and TRUE BLOOD ruled on pay. Meanwhile, the Boston Marathon bombings, the election of Pope Francis, and the controversy surrounding TorontoMayor Rob Ford were among the most-watched news events of 2013.

Below is a closer look at Top 10 TV programs Canadians watched in 2013:
