TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2013 /CNW/ - Two months into the fall television
season, new data from BBM Canada confirms that CTV delivers at least
four of the Top 5 most-watched programs with total viewers and all key
adult demos, and four of the Top 6 most-watched new programs. Overall,
CTV has more Top 10 and Top 20 programs than all other networks in
total viewers and all key adult demos.
Already Canada's #1 new series, MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. has also become the most-watched new fall program on record in Canada.
Anchoring CTV's Tuesday night lineup, MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. has helped contribute to double-digit growth on Tuesdays over last
fall, up a substantial 24% in primetime (7-11 p.m.). The strong
programming block, which also includes new comedies THE GOLDBERGS and TROPHY WIFE, has also become home to PERSON OF INTEREST, which has instantly become a Top 20 series since its move to CTV.
CTV's stability is evidenced by the fact it is the only Canadian network
to have seen its fall schedule remain intact throughout the season.
Additionally, the fall season has seen the average age of a CTV viewer
drop by one year to 45, making CTV the second-youngest conventional
network in the country. Meanwhile, bolstered by a revamp of its
schedule, CTV Two has seen its primetime audience grow by 10% over last
year.
"The combination of some of the season's most-anticipated new series and
the ongoing strength of our returning programs has resulted in a strong
fall for CTV," said Phil King, President, CTV Programming and Sports.
"We look forward to building upon this momentum into a solid winter
season, featuring the return of THE FOLLOWING, the debut of
INTELLIGENCE, and some amazing homegrown series including MASTERCHEF
CANADA, SAVING HOPE, and MOTIVE."
Canada's Top New Programs:
CTV delivers four out of the Top 6 new programs, including Canada's #1
drama and overall series, and #1 new reality series.
