Just hours after Global released this press release [1] stating that they're number one for the premiere week, CTV answered right back stating that they're truly number one.
CTV is Number 1 - and Global isn't. Contrary to a sour grapes press release today from Canwest Mediaworks, overnight data from BBM Nielsen Media Research confirms that Global was once again the Number 2 network among key demos during the first week of the Fall TV Season. The numbers speak for themselves: CTV delivered more viewers on average in primetime during Premiere Week not only among total viewers, but both the A18-49 and A25-54 demos as well.
Average audience for Monday, Sept. 24 - Sunday, Sept. 30 from 7-11 p.m.:
CTV Global
A2+ 1,277,700 879,500 +45%
A18-49 547,000 487,000 +12%
A25-54 616,000 509,000 +21%
Data quoted: CTV Full and Global Full (BBM Nielsen Media Research).
