CTV Winnipeg continues to dominate local TV-news ratings, according to figures released Tuesday by the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement.
The fall 2010 ratings show CTV’s supper hour newscast attracted an average of 129,000 viewers between 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., compared to 42,600 for Global’s local news program and 27,600 for the final half-hour of CBC’s three-part daily newscast.
In the same ratings period a year earlier, CTV averaged 130,100 viewers, compared to 37,900 for Global and 33,800 for CBC.
CTV’s supper-hour show also drew an average of 113,300 viewers in its second half-hour (6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.), compared to 117,000 in fall 2009 ratings.
CBC had an audience of 38,100 for the first segment of its local news (5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.) and 39,000 for the second half-hour (5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.), an increase over average viewerships of 28,500 (5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.) and 32,900 (5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.) a year earlier.
Fall BBM measurements took place during four weeks in late October and November of last year. Audience numbers represent total viewership (all ages) in the extended Winnipeg market.
