Fall Season Update: CTV Nearly Doubles Global in Primetime

For Immediate Release (November 6, 2008):

- CTV delivers 92% more viewers than Global -

- CTV makes gains in Toronto/Vancouver and with younger viewers -

Toronto, ON (November 6, 2008) - Six weeks into the Fall television season, CTV continues to distance itself from its nearest competitor. An updated analysis of the Fall television season, which began Sept. 22, verifies that CTV now delivers nearly twice as many viewers than Global in primetime among total viewers, up dramatically since Fall 2007. In a season that has seen slight declines in both total viewing and conventional viewing in Canada, data from BBM Nielsen Media Research confirms that CTV continues to hold its own - making gains in Canada's two largest metered markets and with younger viewers -while its competition experiences double-digit erosion.

With eight out of 10 of the country's most-watched programs in total viewers and A25-54, and seven out of 10 in A18-49, CTV also lays claim to Canada's #1 program overall and #1 drama (GREY'S ANATOMY), Canada's #1 new program overall and #1 Canadian series (SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA)*, and Canada's #1 comedy series (CORNER GAS).

"While SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA has made history as the most-watched new series this Fall, our biggest hits are gaining viewers," said Susanne Boyce, President, Creative, Content and Channels, CTV Inc. "CTV's solid, balanced schedule continues to deliver options for both viewers and advertisers."
