Ratings on RDS were increasing anyway prior to LDT's appearance. They increased from 755K to 900K IIRC previously, and were trending towards 1M+ for this year. LDT simply raised viewership very quickly.

The GC only saw an increase in 2019 because its 2018 decrease was so rough on its viewership numbers. 2019 was still well below previous iterations of the broadcast on TSN. If anything, the SB in the US is mirroring the GC in Canada: Hit a peak around 2012/2013 with a steady decline since then. The SB in Canada seems to be bucking that trend for the time being.
