BACK ON THE BEAT: ROOKIE BLUE RETURNS WITH 1.4 MILLION LOYAL FANS

  • Rookie Blue Delivers as the #1 Drama of the Night

Last night, Global’s smash hit original drama Rookie Blue proved it’s still packing heat as the second season premiere booked 1.4 million viewers (2+, national). Winning its time-slot nationally and in the key Adults 18-49 demo, the highly-anticipated debut delivered a solid performance as the #1 drama program of the night.

Viewers who missed last night’s premiere episode can catch up on GlobalTV.com or on their Global Video App, available from the App Store on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, or on demand through cable and satellite providers across the country.

Next week on Rookie Blue (“Might Have Been” – Thursday, June 30 at 10pm ET/PT), Andy and Gail go undercover as waitresses at a club known for frequent drug use, but get more than they bargained for when their fellow waitress turns out to be involved with a vicious criminal. Meanwhile, Traci wrestles with feelings for her old flame, Detective Barber; Dov tries to weather the storm when a young woman files a complaint against him; and Andy opens up to Sam about her commitment to Luke. Joris Jarsky (Cra$h and Burn), Alan Van Sprang (King) and Polly Shannon (Lie With Me) guest star.

From a media release:

COMBAT HOSPITAL IS CANADA’S #1 ORIGINAL DRAMA OF THE YEAR
WITH 2 MILLION VIEWERS

  • Series Premiere Won the Night Nationally

Global’s Combat Hospital pulled rank with 2 million viewers (2+, national) on Tuesday, establishing itself as Canada’s #1 original drama of the year. The series debut of the Shaw Media-commissioned series was the second highest-rated premiere of any Canadian drama in over a decade, next to Global’s Rookie Blue.

Winning the night nationally, the series premiere outperformed its closest competitors, America’s Got Talent (Citytv) and The Voice (CTV), each by 27%.

Combat Hospital is a hit with viewers and with TV critics as well. Early praise for the medical drama includes: “A compelling peek at a world we all should know more about” (Sun Media); “A fictional, eye-opening look at the real-world medical heroes working the front lines of Afghanistan” (Postmedia News); and “…solid television” (The Globe and Mail).

Viewers who missed last night’s premiere episode can catch up on GlobalTV.com or on their Global Video App, available from the App Store on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, or on demand through cable and satellite providers across the country.

Combat Hospital’s gripping debut is the first of two big premieres on Global this week. Smash hit Rookie Blue kicks off its second season tomorrow, Thursday, June 23 – 10pm ET/PT on Global and ABC. Combat Hospital returns with an all-new episode next Tuesday, June 28 – 10pm ET/PT.
