CSI tops Survivor to grab No. 1 slot in Canada

CTV's all-acronym lineup has won Thursdays. With The O.C. at 8, CSI at 9 and ER at 10, CTV's Thursday night lineup is number one on two fronts. According to the latest BBM audience data, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's season-to-date average of 3.076 million viewers has edged past Survivor (3.028 million) by 2% and growing in overall audience. By contrast, BBM reports Survivor has slipped 3% since its premiere.
Second, with the strong debut of The O.C (1.83 million), a resurgence of viewers this year for veteran series ER, and the continued growth of CSI, CTV's overall Thursday night line-up is now number one, with more prime-time viewers than any other Canadian broadcaster.
