Last week, The Good Doctor clocked in an average minute audience of 2.68 million viewers for its March 23 episode, marking an all-season high for the CTV drama.
This week, The Good Doctor broke a new record, shooting up to an average of 3.03 million viewers and topping the Numeris charts for all programs March 30 to April 5.
The Good Doctor not only broke its own record for the season, but it also became the first scripted program during the 2019-2020 TV season to reach an AMA of more than three million viewers – a figure not seen for a series since The Big Bang Theory last hit the airwaves.
Although Canadians have continued to consume more news than they did earlier in the year, scripted and entertainment programs have still taken up the majority of viewers’ at-home time. Grey’s Anatomy, The Masked Singer, Station 19 and Survivor all pulled in AMAs of more than two million.
Some markets favoured news more than others; Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver/Victoria were by far the biggest consumers of evening news programs. Quebec (Francophone) and Toronto/Hamilton, on the other hand, were much more interested in single-night entertainment programs.
