Rookie Blue gets 1.4 million viewers

From a media release:

ROOKIE BLUE WINS ITS TIMESLOT AND IS THE #2 PROGRAM OF THE NIGHT

1.4 million loyal Rookie Blue fans (Ind. 2+, national) were arrested by another riveting episode. Andy and Luke got engaged, and the stakes continue to rise for the officers at 15 Division.

ROOKIE BLUE SEASON 2 DATA HIGHLIGHTS (All data Adults 18-49):

  • 594,000 viewers in key A18-49 demo, second only to Big Brother for the night
  • Won its timeslot in each of the three key markets

And the Rookie Blue drama continues in “Heart & Sparks” (Thursday, July 14 – 10pm ET/PT): As the 15th Division attempts to recover from the shooting of Det. Luke Callaghan, a series of arsons culminates in the torching of a laundromat. The list of suspects grows, as Chris and Gail take to the streets and encounter a man from Chris’s past, while Traci interrogates a young firebug found at the arson scene. Meanwhile, Andy’s effort to stop the grieving widow from entering the burnt-out laundromat results in the two women being trapped in the unstable building, and what seems like a straightforward case of arson ends up being something much bigger.

But with the fireworks of Canada Day still ringing in my ears – and a little prodding by my wife, who holds a degree in Canadian studies – I decided it was time to be patriotic and talk about some of the current crop of shows coming out of this country.
