GO Ringer! Not that it matters but I'm glad it's #1 outside the US. And that's a BIG difference between Ringer's ratings and the other shows :D Awesome Canadians!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Supernatural?
ReplyDeletei think it airs on a small cable network in Canada so probably very small ratings
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteKABOOM! Ringer is SO GOOD! American, you must be like Canadian :D
ReplyDeleteisnt going to stop it from being cancelled
ReplyDeleteActually, It can be ! Ringer is doing very very very well in UK too and the series brings a lot of money with the international sells !
ReplyDeleteI'm optimistic for a Season 2 now :D
well its as + to ringer's benifit vs Hart of Dixie, Secret Circle, Nikita etc.
ReplyDeleteSecret Circle is actually the worst performing CW series in Itunes, online viewing, Retention and sometimes even in Women demos/Ringer does bad in women demos too.
Hart of Dixie has terrible international sales.
That's amazing.. twice the number for The Vampire Diaries!
ReplyDeletePhewww... This settles me a little, I was hoping for a second season and it's looking more likely now. I love it and I'm glad to hear it's doing well in the UK too!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a surprise! Doubt it'll help the chances of renewal here though.
ReplyDeleteLol!! While I'm glad Ringer is doing well..as a Canadian those stats are funny..and I also can watch every CW show just like the US..cause we get the CW network here!!! And also if those numbers are total viewers they are rather small-there are several million people in Canada!! Just saying the data posted above may not be accurate at all!!
ReplyDeleteHart of Dixie does air in Canada, it airs on a cable network called CHCH. Also Supernatural airs as well on the same channel, CHCH.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Supernatural?
ReplyDeleteThere's a good reason for that big difference. Ringer airs on Global, which is one of the heavyweight networks like ABC. All the other shows air on MuchMusic or Space, which are specialty channels you have to subscribe to, like MTV and SciFi in the States. For Global, 500,000 is low. The Vampire Diaries gets 250,000 on Space, which is high for that channel.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural airs on Space, just like Vampire Diaries, Secret Circle, and Nikita. But we get the CW here, so most of us just watch it on the CW.
ReplyDeleteWhere's your source for this?
ReplyDeleteThe most recent ratings for Ringer I could find showed it at 312,000 for Feb. 10th

no Vampire Diaries and Nikita are on broadcast
ReplyDeleteVD on CTV 2
various sites including toronto.com
ReplyDeleteCTV2? I don't get that here, never even heard of it, and I'm in the second biggest province. It must not be available across the country yet. Ah, I just looked it up. It's still extremely patchy in its coverage, airing only to pockets of the country. So still not an even-playing-field comparison with Global, which is a long-established network that reaches the whole country.
ReplyDelete"The system currently consists of four over-the-air owned-and-operated television stations (O&Os) in Ontario and one in British Columbia, as well as two regional cable-only channels, one in Atlantic Canada and the other being the provincial cable-only educational channel in Alberta." -Wikipedia
Go Ringer and especially GO NIKITA.
ReplyDeleteyay for Ringer in Canada and Also Nikita being in the top 3... I wish it was like that in the US too. Wish i could say this could give it a 2nd season but that is just wishful thinking
ReplyDeleteYou really should post them then and source your article properly. Preferably the exact pages that show the ratings.
ReplyDeleteIf you're talking about Quebec, we don't get CTV2 here in most regions except Hull, Outaouais and cities near Ottawa and the Ontario border.. it has replaced A channel I think.. which we didn't get either. I think people who have satellite TV instead of cable can have it..
ReplyDeleteSo like it was said before, Ringer being on a national network, it makes a lot of sense that it would get higher ratings than Vampire Diaries and Nikita, which aren't aired in the second biggest province in Canada...
Well, canadians sure know what to watch... I hope this means at least something for the CW.
ReplyDeleteYes, I meant Quebec. It would make sense people near the Ontario border can pick it up on one of the Ontario stations. But from what I read, with only one station in BC, one in Alberta and one on the Atlantic side, there must be other regions that don't get it either, like Manitoba and Saskatchewan, some of the Maritime provinces and the three territories. It's too bad we don't get it, it plays some of the US cable shows I'd like to see, like Leverage.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, it cannot be representative since Ringer airs on a national network (Global) and Vampire Diaries and Nikita air on a secondary network (CTV2) that isn't available in the second biggest province in Canada (Quebec). The only regions in Quebec that get CTV are the ones close to Ontario border if I'm not mistaken..
ReplyDeleteFirst season of Vampire Diaries was broadcast on CTV, and then they moved it to their secondary network.. As for 90210, I thought it was on GLOBAL too, unless it changed since the first season. But if it is still on Global, that is bad ratings. I don't know when and where the Secret Circle is airing. As for Gossip Girl, first half of first season was on CTV, and then it was move to A Channel (which is now CTV2) and then to Much Music, which is a cable channel...
Also, Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl are dubbed in French in Quebec and air on a kid/teen cable channel, and Nikita is also dubbed and airs on cable. All series that are dubbed are of course one to a few seasons behind.
I totally agree !! It's also sad that we don't get the CW, which would make us able to watch their shows live instead of waiting a few days to see it on another network.. if it is broadcast at all. But I bet people with satellite TV get CTV2 and CW.. when I had it 10 years ago I had the WB so it would make sense.
ReplyDeleteI get the CW on Vidéotron. You have to subscribe to it as part of the SuperChannel package, if I recall correctly.
ReplyDeleteOhh thank you !!!! I'll look into it that would be great !! :)
ReplyDeletewow its impressive how well TVD does considering its on Muchmusic and CTV Two which are alot smaller compared to Global
ReplyDeleteAnd also ringer airs on uk @ skyliving channel but its a few episodes back example: next week will be episode 16 in usa and england will be episode 14 on Thursday march 8
ReplyDelete90210 doesn't air in canada except on netflix.
ReplyDeleteSecret Circle also airs on CHCH as does Hart of Dixie
ReplyDeleteWell if you get the CW in Canada it does. The CW is channel 166 on Rogers television.
ReplyDeletewheres supernaturals
ReplyDeleteGo canada!!!
ReplyDeleteIs this good for the show or it doesnt matter since lol here having 2 million views is "big" *sigh*
CTV and CTV2 arnt the same right? Cause I got CTV. We used to have GG and 90210 on global or CTV too and it stoped :(
ReplyDeleteIt's anoying me cause I could watch them for free on the websites *sigh*
LOL et avec super écran sa coute moins chere donc si tu l'as déjà nice.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe that changed but anyway.
Yeah never seen Spn on a canadian network. It airs in french in QC and lol those numbers are too sad to look at.
ReplyDeleteNon :) Ya juste l'Outaouais qui ont CTV2 pour le moment je pense !!!
ReplyDeletePour CW le forfait que j'ai trouvé c'est SuperChannel je sais pas trop quoi, c'est 6$ par mois et tu as l'horaire de New York et celle de LA donc possibilité d'écouter plus tard.. ce qui est plate c'est qu'il est pas encore offert en HD.. :(
Nikita also airs on CTV2 I think..
ReplyDeleteAw yon monter messemble que stais 4$. Ouais c quand meme de la très mauvaise qualité. Genre non HD me dérenge pas mais CW non HD on dirait que c,est pire haha.
ReplyDeleteet ouais les épisodes passe a 9 et 11-minuit
Mon commentaire a disparu :(
ReplyDeleteMais ouais je me suis dis que tant qu'à payer 6$, je vais attendre voir s'il l'offre en HD l'année prochaine étant donné que tu as tjrs tous les postes HD existant des forfaits standards que tu paies :P
Why are are comments being deleted?
ReplyDeleteLol maybe cause we're talking in french haha, but I got them in my emails so its good :D.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if there's a rule about language on here :S I spoke french before though, oh well
Random question (in english, just in case): how do you get them in your email? I don't so I always have to come back when I post something.. Maybe it's because I log in with Gmail instead of the other options?
ReplyDeleteokay like you go between hte end of the article and the place where you can write a new comment... there is a button "Disqus" and you click on change profil or edit profile and there is this "notification" thingy and you just click the things you want.
ReplyDeleteIn Toronto, CTV2 actually airs Vampire Diaries at 7pm so it can show American Idol at 8 (unfortunately I have class till 7 so I never get to watch it early =P). We also get Secret Circle at 8pm instead of 9 on CHCH (but I'm usually watching TVD at 8 when I get home so I don't watch it early either). There was a time when GG was airing a day early on Sunday but they stopped lol I guess people would post spoilers.
ReplyDeleteThank you !!! I'll try it tomorrow :)
ReplyDeletealright :D Carefull not to put notification for like everycomment. cause them say goodbye to your inbox HAHH! only "reply"
ReplyDeleteActually,I did it right away and it works !! I received yours in my inbox!!! And yes, I was careful and only checked one box hahaha :)
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME for Ringer! Considering its time slot, Friday nights at 10pm! Thats a rough slot! TVD, The Secret Circle, and Nikita all have multiple time slots and networks. Other CW shows might as well, but those three do for sure! RINGER ROCKS!
ReplyDeletewooooooooooooooooop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
