Very rare to see a program that aired
in the morning receive such a large audience unless it's hockey, or more specifically, a Russia-Canada world junior hockey game. Over 1.6 million watched the live telecast at 9 am EST on New Year's Eve making it the most watched Canadian round robin game of the tournament.
Big Bang's winter return attracted nearly 4.7 million viewers making it the most watched episode of the season. The second most viewed episode of the season aired on October 18 with an audience of 4.565 million.
Dragons' Den beat repeats of the Big Bang Theory, live world junior hockey, and its American version Shark Tank as the Canadian reality show reached a season high of 1.639 million viewers.
The season premiere of the Canadian drama Bomb Girls was watched by 1.126 million on Global.
Overnight ratings of Heartland (992,000) and Republic of Doyle (802,000) seem to be underestimated. For the Republic of Doyle, the early estimate was off by more than 100, 000 people compared to the final estimate, which is a significant difference in the Canadian TV numbers game. This serves as a reminder that overnight ratings are far less accurate than the final ratings. So, when a TV network claims a certain show has broken an all-time record, that may not necessarily be the case with a smaller sample.
The only New Year's show to make the list is Ron James' New Year's Eve, which aired at 9 pm EST when more people are likely to still be watching TV before heading out for the night.
