The Big Kahuna!
What do you think the top ranked television program has been in the last 12 months the Vancouver market? Survivor? Super Bowl? Surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) it was the Opening Ceremonies to the Olympics on CTV. Both ratings and audience numbers are 50% higher than the program coming in second (which is the Super Bowl).
While this blog is not really about tv, I don’t have the final numbers on how many people were tuned in on CTVOlympics.ca to see the beginning of the Opening Ceremonies, but given the tv audience, combined with the Social site following, I’m going to guess that it was among their highest traffic days for sure. CTV.ca saw a jump of 27% and while we won’t have access to the CTVOlympics.ca stats until after the olympics, I’ll post up once I have them. I guess I should ad that the online feed went down before the flame was lit, but the potential for a huge audience was definitely there. The Twitter and Facebook followers for the CTV Olympic groups are both over 17,000 and growing daily.
Political opinions aside, I’m sure proud to be Canadian!
