The program was also No. 1 among total viewers and A25-54 in Toronto and Vancouver.

At 10 p.m. Sunday, an all-new episode of CTV’s Dexter delivered 1.02 million viewers to become the most-watched program in its timeslot among total viewers, A25-54 and A18-49. Dexter was the No. 3 show of the night following Oprah’s Big Give and CTV Evening News (#2, 1.08 million).



On Saturday night, CTV’s W-FIVE delivered more viewers than Hockey Night in Canada (CBC,1.09 million) and won the night with 1.12 million viewers. The shocking W-FIVE episode uncovered startling facts about a Toronto gynecologist and the medical system that prevents the public from learning about their surgeon’s track record.
