Big Brother Canada Sets New Audience Record for Slice
Last night Big Brother Canada’s first eviction episode that saw Torontonian, Kat Yee ousted from the house in a vote of 11 to one, blew the roof off Slice. Following Wednesday night’s premiere which aired as a special presentation on Global in addition to Slice, viewers flocked to Big Brother Canada in droves for their second dose of the series. Last night’s eviction episode set a new record high audience with an AMA of 608,000 (A2+, 2 plays) for the channel and took top spot across all specialty channels.
From a media release:
Combined across both channels, the premiere episode was the most watched program of the night, second only to Global’s Survivor, for the core demo of A18-49, achieving audiences of 1.4 million (A2+) and 735,000 (A18-49). Amongst adults 18-49, Global won the 9pm hour nationally, solidly beating American Idol. With a record breaking AMA of 340,000 on SliceTM (A2+) alone, Big Brother Canada achieved the highest audience in channel history.
