With 1.5 million total viewers, and 778,000 viewers 18-49, "Are You Smarter Than a Canadian 5th Grader" roared in, rated as the most-watched premiere of any new Canadian show on any network this season. The much-loved quizzer topped the recent premiere of Corner Gas by 69% among viewers 18-49 and by 21% for total viewers...and that of Little Mosque by 124% and 88% respectively.
Private Practice received another fantastic bill of health last night when 1.6 million viewers watched out of simulcast on CTV, data from BBM Nielsen Research confirms today. Out of simulcast, the breakout hit delivered as many viewers last night as its series premiere in simulcast on CTV/ABC on Sept. 26. Private Practice is up 17% from last week, won its timeslot for the night in all key demos and was the No. 3 program of the evening.
When you're Number 2, you'll say anything. A misleading announcement today by Global Television failed to provide an accurate view of Canada's fall ratings picture. In fact, CTV remains Canada's most-watched broadcaster by a wide margin in both key selling demos and total viewers.
In one of the most competitive Fall seasons on record, Global Television continues to come on strong - shattering one of Canada's long-held ratings monopolies with a month of stellar performance in the industry's vital 18-49 demographic.

Discovery Channel's 'Race To Mars' did excellent for its premiere episode, ranking number one of all the specdialty channels for the night. We now learn that the final epsiode also got excellent ratings.
Just hours after Global released this press release stating that they're number one for the premiere week, CTV answered right back stating that they're truly number one.
With the first week of the fall TV season now complete, a clear new dynamic has emerged in Canadian television.

On Sunday night, Discovery Channel Canada blasted into the 2007 Fall television season with the World Premiere of "Race to Mars" - and took a rocket load of viewers along for the ride!

It was also the most watched original Canadian special ever to air on Discovery Channel.
