The premiere of two summer reality juggernauts – Citytv’s America’s Got Talent and CTV’s World of Dance – helped make it a good week for summer TV viewing. But despite the millions who tuned into the talent competitions, viewers were still most attracted to the Canadian original Transplant.
The Numeris report for the week ending May 24 found that Transplant was the most-watched single night program for the week and, in fact, grew its audience to 1.68 million viewers. In second place was the revival of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? which also grew its audience to 1.44 million viewers.
America’s Got Talent came in a very close third with 1.42 million viewers, while World of Dance and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD rounded out the top-five, tied at 1.02 million viewers.
