With two reality competition juggernauts back on the schedule, the Numeris results for the week ending July 19 showed a small improvement over the week prior – with at least one program managing to pull in a seven-figure AMA.
America’s Got Talent (AGT) has dominated all season, and in the most recent measured week, the show pulled in an average of 1.21 million viewers per minute, the highest of all single-night programs. World of Dance, which also took the previous week off, came back without missing a beat, ratings-wise, taking in 920,000 viewers.
While there’s still undoubtedly a summer slump in TV viewership due to a lack of new shows and a reliance on reruns (repeat episodes of series like Blue Bloods and Bull have been among the top programs this summer), the top-five showed some improvement this week; not only was the number-one program back above one million, but the second-through-fourth programs also showed some improvement. Last week, three top-five programs fell below 700,000, a new low for summer TV. This week, the fifth-place finishing program pulled in 711,000 viewers.
Regionally, AGT was a favourite for most viewers, while specialty programs like Alone, Deadliest Catch and Alaskan Bush People continued to play well in Alberta markets. Western Canadians also continue to gravitate toward Border Security more than their eastern counterparts, while Montreal once again posted an all-CTV top five.
