CBC TV Hits Highest Ratings in Five Years
The ratings for CBC television are the highest they’ve been in five years.
A number of shows are lifting the season market share, which is up 17 per cent since last fall, jumping for 7.9 to 9.3.
“We had more consistently higher-rated shows. Now we have a 1 million-plus club with ‘Heartland,’ ‘Rick Mercer Report’ and ‘Battle of the Blades.’ When you have more consistency with more shows across the network, it lifts everything up,” Kirstine Stewart said to Variety.
Stewart talked about the ratings during the CBC’s winter launch event today in Toronto. The launch unveiled several new shows including a show called ‘Death Comes to Town’, an murder mystery serial from the Kids in the Hall, filmed in North Bay.

Wasn’t it the “winter launch” event?
Great to hear about the TV ratings.
Now let me know how the CBC Radio Overnight show(s) are rating. Me thinks the changes in the wee hours are were not a good idea. As others have said — bring back the old! please.
yes of course. it was the winter launch.
Congrats to everyone. No doubt there will be a lot of crowing about these, and why not? If that’s your target, she has delivered.
Is the CBC the only media organization who has not reported the ClimateGate scandal? Gian had Suzuki and Gore on and kissed their asses the whole time. Shame!
Wait – is this using the new measurement system? How can you compare year over year if the stats collecting is different?

recent glitch
very annoying
are they trying to fix or not?
update us please
its not using the new measuring system, it has been implemented yet.
CBC’s failure to address the publication of CRU’s emails and data is shameful. The world is spending billions on combating global warming, on the strength of warmist assurances that the science is settled on man made global warming. Now these emails, and more important, the computer data these scientists used to arrive at their conclusions reveals global warming to be ‘man made’ in a whole other way, by cooking the data, manipulating the peer review process to exclude work that showed different results, and even getting dissenters fired from journals for having politically incorrect thoughts. Other mainstream media have reported on this, giving both sides and allowing the viewer to decide for himself. By not reporting on this important story, you do Canadian viewers a grave disservice, contribute to easy and shallow thinking, and, in the end, will cause viewers to desert to other media that will report the truth, not just the truth that fits your small vision of the world.
Actually, the new measurement system (PPMs) have been in place since September 2009.
And yes, the share is up — Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy are doing very well, as well as Hockey Night and Canada, Dragons Den, Heartland & Rick Mercer.
But audiences to The Border, Being Erica, Little Mosque and The National have been running much lower than last year. Well, I guess can win ‘em all …
Hey Drew – all to the tune of $1Billion a year of taxpayers’ money. There should be be an inquiry!
Congratulations on the good ratings news!
*takes a second look*
Audience drops on The Border and Little Mosque?
