City’s summer reality smash America’s Got Talent hit the golden buzzer again. For its second week of broadcast, AGT pulled in the highest average-minute audience of all single-night programs, according to the Numeris charts for June 4 to 10.

The show took in 1.52 million viewers, coming up just short of its premiere numbers last week. Code Black followed once again at #2, taking in 1.48 million viewers (a boost over last week). CBC’s postgame broadcast of the Stanley Cup Final took #3 with 1.41 million, and the top-five was rounded out by CTV’s MasterChef Canada and Global’s Private Eyes.

AGT swept most of the Anglophone markets, but in Alberta, both Edmonton and Calgary favoured the Stanley Cup postgame. The coverage also played well in Vancouver. Meanwhile, in Ontario, CTV’s special coverage of the Ontario election made its way into the top three.

French game show La poule aux oeufs d’or took the top spot in the Quebec Francophone market once again, although it pulled in slightly fewer viewers than last week.
