Even those shows failed to crack the two million mark.
Viewers continue to sit out this summer season, with network ratings down double
digits on Canadian and U.S.
broadcast networks.
With viewers taking a break, the Brioux Report will take a
break too. Look for regular weekly ratings reports to resume in a month. You’ll
still be able to follow me on Twitter this summer (@BillBriouxTV) for the
latest ratings on many Canadian programming favourites.
