After hovering around second place most of this summer, World of Dance did a grand jeté over America’s Got Talent and became the most-viewed single-night program for the week ending July 26. It did so with an average for 968,000 viewers per minute, while America’s Got Talent saw a fairly significant dip in its views, down more than 100,000 from the previous week.
Overall, the summer TV lull continues, but has not gotten any worse, with all of the top five still bringing in more than 700,000 viewers, but none breaking one million.
It’s worth noting that this was the first week that Canadians got a taste of some of the sports they left behind in the spring. The Blue Jays were the first Canadian team to resume televised games. While their games were programmed as multi-day slots (and thus not counted in MiC‘s Numeris top-five), over the three days that the Jays games aired on Sportsnet they drew an average of 594,000 viewers per minute, with 205,000 of those being in the Toronto/Hamilton area.
