The old rule used to be that it took four weeks for a new series to find it’s level. After three weeks, CBC’s reboot of it’s early ’90s law series Street Legal has gone 376,000, 341,000 and, this past Monday, 306,000 in overnight estimates.

Sunday’s 2019 Juno Awards, live from London, Ont., drew an overnight, estimated 918,000 viewers on CBC. Sting and David Foster (above) added some geezer chic to the occasion.

Diggstown bowed to 338,000 estimated, overnight viewers Wednesday, slightly less than Street Legal‘s Monday estimate of 376,000. Keep in mind both numbers could jump by a third or higher once the Live+7 total data is tallied by Numeris.
CBC’s much ballyhooed reboot of Street Legal opened Monday to 376,000 overnight, estimated viewers. The Toronto-lensed legal drama brought Cynthia Dale (above) back as saucy solicitor Olivia Novak after a 25 year absence. The series shed a half million overnight viewers from its strong lead-in, the season finale of Murdoch Mysteries (867,000 in overnights; will
A few quick observations after a glance at today’s latest Live+7 TV totals in English Canada. Older skewing shows dominate the Feb. 11 – 17 Top 30, which was released by Numeris Wednesday. This is good news for Global, which is loaded with American procedurals and has six of the Top 10 and 11 of
The month of March will bring several new Canadian TV shows to viewers, including the return of the decades old CBC drama Street Legal and the launch of new CTV sitcom Jann starring Jann Arden.
