For the second week in a row, America’s Got Talent bested Canadian reality show Amazing Race Canada to become the week’s top series. According to the latest Numeris report, which covered single-night ratings for the week of July 17 to 23, America’s Got Talent pulled in the highest AMA with 1.9 million viewers.
However, the gap narrowed between America’s Got Talent and Amazing Race Canada, with the latter gaining some ground over the previous week (1.78 million, up from 1.61 million). The pair were followed once again by World of Dance, which took in 1.32 million viewers, a slight improvement over last week.
Overall, the top five appeared strikingly similar to the previous week’s, with the exception of a switch between Big Brother and American Ninja Warrior.
Big Brother gained one spot to land in fourth, with an AMA of 1.21 million viewers, while American Ninja Warrior rounded out the top five with an average audience of 1.2 million viewers.
While unscripted programming seemed to fare best across most of Canada, Calgary had a particular appetite for scripted programming, with two episodes of The Big Bang Theory and one of The Night Shift taking the third through fifth spots.
In Quebec’s Francophone market, SRC’s Les chefs held onto the top spot for the third straight week and brought in an average audience of 750,000 people, a slight increase over the previous week.
Here are the top-ranked daily measured shows by market (AMA for all persons 2+), according to Numeris, for July 17 to 23.
