Canadian viewers were eager to find out which NFL teams would be playing in this weekend’s Super Bowl, according to Numeris data for the week of Jan. 24 to 30.
The NFL’s conference final match-ups reached an AMA of two million viewers over the course of two games between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers.
The NFL managed to knock off 9-1-1: Lone Star from the top spot it has been enjoying in recent weeks, though the drama still managed to pull in 1.896 million viewers. The games were also a top-five broadcast across major markets, taking the top spot in Toronto/Hamilton and Vancouver/Victoria. 9-1-1: Lone Star was also the highest-rated English broadcast in Montreal, with hockey taking the top in Calgary and Edmonton.
In Quebec, TVA comedy Le bonheur held on to its spot as the top-rated French program. It was followed by the first performance episode of this season of TVA’s Star académie. The reality singing competition show – which was rebooted last year – features two episodes a week: one showing the competitors through their training at the academy, which leads to the variety performance episode on Sunday.
