Ratings: Winter premiere week numbers

From Bill Brioux of TV Feeds My Family:

  • Murdoch Mysteries lifts CBC’s premiere week
    Premiere week is over. How did CBC do? The first week of January is a big one for CBC as the public broadcaster tries to take advantage of a more-or-less down week in network television to sneak on its 2013 series premieres. The network headed into the beginning of the year behind the 8 Ball with Hockey Night in Canada off its schedule due to the prolonged lockout, although the good news is the CBC’s most-watched broadcast returns Jan. 19. Add in budget cuts, the loss of popular supper hour driver Jeopardy! and other slings and arrows and its a wonder CBC managed to keep the lights on at all last fall. Read more.
