BBM released its latest weekly list of
Top 30 TV programs watched by Canadians. This is their rankings for
the period of December 17 to 23:
Notes:
Viewership
is the average minute audience.
Notes
from BBM Canada: "This
chart shows the Top 30 TV programs for all national networks and
Canadian English specialty networks for the week indicated. Programs
are ranked based on their AMA...The chart also indicates the
broadcast outlet on which the program aired and the program’s start
and end time (shown in Eastern Time)." Demographic: All Persons
2+.
Overnight estimate of the X-Factor
finale was 1.829 million, but the final estimate is now 1.937
million, which is still less than last year's audience of 2.002 million.
The Voice finale
had an early estimate of 1.388 million, but the final estimate has an audience size much
larger at 1.572 million, a 13.7% increase from last year.
Since the start of the fall season, new
airings of the Big Bang Theory held the #1 spot except when the Grey
Cup was played. On the week before Christmas, there was no new episode of the Big
Bang, which allowed NCIS to claim the top spot that
week with 2.727 million viewers. There must be some sort of celebrations going on at Global as their shows ranked first, second, and third in viewers. All three shows on Global were each watched by at least two million Canadians at any given minute. In previous weeks, CTV has held the top spots with popular American comedies or reality shows.
As the holidays approached, fewer new
episodes of popular shows were being aired allowing more newscasts
and holiday movies to appear on the Top 30 chart that week.
All four CTV Newscasts made the list,
while Global local and national news both crack the top 30. Even with
the more popular shows being on hiatus, not a single CBC newscast
had over 754,000 viewers.
The CTV Sunday Movie on December 23 was
the Sound of Music and it continued to be a family favourite during
the holiday season as it garnered an audience of 1.123 million.
Wednesday's movie on CBC was Santa
Clause 3 which attracted 884,000 viewers. Santa Clause and Santa Clause 2 each
attracted 754,000 viewers.
In a rare appearance, YTV cracks the
Top 30 chart with the premiere of Home Alone 5, a made for TV movie.
Surprisingly, 835,000 were curious enough to see whether a fifth Home
Alone was necessary.
Discovery also makes a rare appearance
with the American reality show Gold Rush.
Entertainment news show etalk, which airs on Monday through Thursday, makes the
list with 767,000 viewers.
