The latest Numeris report, which covers the week of Sept. 4 to 10, showed that even as September has ushered in, little has changed in the TV landscape — the top five single-night programs for the highest AMA (2+) remained static from the previous week.
The penultimate episode of The Amazing Race Canada came in first with an average of 1.72 million viewers. It was followed by two episodes of America’s Got Talent, which drew an average of 1.58 million (Tuesday) and 1.5 million viewers (Wednesday). Rounding out the week were two episodes of Big Brother, which pulled in 1.35 million (Sunday) and 1.29 million viewers (Thursday).
While the placements did not change, all of the top five programs besides the Wednesday edition of America’s Got Talent boasted slight gains over the previous week’s average audiences.
The top spot did vary between markets — America’s Got Talent took Toronto/Hamilton, Vancouver and Calgary, while The Amazing Race Canada topped the Edmonton charts and the Saturday edition of CTV News tied with America’s Got Talent at the top in Montreal.
In the Francophone market, TVA’s Sunday night special announcing its new fall season (hosted by comedian Patrice Bélanger) took the top spot, with 1.18 million viewers. The network’s much-loved game show, La poule aux oeufs d’or came in second (after spending two weeks at the top). However, it did grow its audience to 990,000 from 931,000.
Here are the top-ranked daily measured shows by market (AMA for all persons 2+), according to Numeris, for Sept. 4 to 10, 2017.
