Police dramas dominated the national television audience ratings according to Numeris data for the week of Feb. 8 to Feb. 14, and were strongly represented in English-language markets across the country.
Toronto was the outlier, with two different Maple Leafs games on Sportsnet taking the two top spots in that market.
CTV’s The Rookie (pictured) led the national rankings, bringing in an average minute audience of 2.05 million viewers. The series also found its way into the top ratings slots in every English-language market but Vancouver/Victoria, which favoured Magnum P.I. in the number one spot with an average audience of 146,000 viewers.
Global’s The Equalizer hit the top five in every market but Quebec, giving both CTV and Global police dramas strong showings across the English-language ratings boards.
TVA took the French-language television top spots with Les beaux malaises 2.0 logging an average audience of 1.58 million viewers, and Star académie 2020 – Le variété with 1.50 million viewers.
