As midseason TV comes to a conclusion, 9-1-1 capped off its season with an average audience of 2.41 million viewers for the finale.
That made the Global drama the highest single-night program for the week ended May 15. It was followed by another finale, Survivor, which also hit a high at 2.39 million viewers. The week’s top five was rounded out by Station 19, The Masked Singer and Canadian original Transplant.
Although audiences have been strong throughout the pandemic, several of the highest-rated shows did come to an end in recent weeks. The Good Doctor broke records with its season finale in March, while The Rookie and Grey’s Anatomy ended on high notes in the last month and now 9-1-1, Survivor and others have concluded their successful runs (The Masked Singer concluded on May 20 and thus its final numbers will be included in next week’s Numeris report).
Summer TV tends to see a slight drop in views most years, although numerous reports from the likes of Mindshare and Corus show that Canadians are still interested in television. While not all summer favourites – like The Bachelor – will be returning to the airwaves, other big ticket series like America’s Got Talent and World of Dance have successfully concluded production and will return to the airwaves.
