Junos a big hit for CTV
The CTV audience for the 2008 Juno Awards was up a whopping 56% from last year’s broadcast.
This year’s Junos, which were held in Calgary on Sunday and were hosted by comedian Russell Peters, attracted an average audience of 1.45 million viewers to CTV. Last year’s awards, which were held in Saskatoon and were hosted by singer Nelly Furtado, pulled in an average of 925,000 viewers.
The ’08 ceremonies were the most-watched Junos presentation since 2003, when 2.18 million watched Shania Twain host the event in Ottawa.
A total of 4.3 million Canadians watched at least part of the two-hour Junos broadcast on Sunday. The audience peaked at 1.7 million when Anne Murray took the stage with Jann Arden and Sarah Brightman.
