  • Newly released Thursday night data from Nielsen

    Media Research reconfirms CTV National News is Canada’s No. 1 national newscast. Despite claims to the contrary, CTV National News With Lloyd Robertson remains the Canadian choice for national news.

    The following is a snapshot of the National news ratings across Canada last night.

    (*) All data from Nielsen Media Research, for Thursday, Feb. 9:

    – CTV National News With Lloyd Robertson (11 p.m.): 1.23 million
    – Global National (5:30 p.m.): 920,000
    – CBC’s The National (10 p.m.): 695,000

    With Thursday’s ratings data in the books, CTV reports the following
    4-day average for each.

    (*) All data from Nielsen Media Research, Feb. 6-9, 2024:

    – CTV National News With Lloyd Robertson: 1.04 million viewers
    – Global National: 1.001 million viewers
    – CBC’s The National: 763,000

    CTV also notes that its national newscast ranked No. 1 this week, despite the Wednesday night anomaly that saw The Grammy Awards broadcast through the
    11 p.m. ET news hour.

    “Time is the true equalizer,” said CTV News President Robert Hurst. “Amid the on-going ratings peaks and valleys we all experience, the one constant
    continues to be that when the dust settles, CTV is the preferred national news destination for Canadians coast-to-coast. We are committed to continuing that trend.”
