Much Music Fall Season Press Release!

On September 22, 2012 By Erin Comments Off

Much Music released their press release today for the fall season. While the press release did contain some info we already knew about (e.g. Chaz Bono will be making an appearance), it also include some new spoilers as well.

We now know that Canadian rock band Hedley will be making a guest appearance AND Degrassi will be moving back to it’s 9 p.m. ET timeslot (instead of 10 p.m. in the summer).

“Chaz Bono and Canada’s rock royalty Hedley are among the exciting guest appearances on DEGRASSI, when the iconic series returns Friday, Oct. 12 at 9 p.m. ET, exclusively on Much. The second half of Season 12 is jam-packed with dramatic storylines and challenging topics, tackling issues such as bullying, depression, and gender identity struggles. Full episodes of DEGRASSI are available on muchmusic.com, following the broadcast premiere.

When fans last saw the students of DEGRASSI, Eli’s school play, Romeo and Jules, had a successful opening night, and Clare made a decision to get even with Asher by going to the police. When DEGRASSI kicks off the second half of this season with “Building a Mystery” (Part 1), Becky begins to fall for Adam and worries about how her conservative parents will react. Meanwhile, Bianca urges Drew to reconnect with his mom. At a loss for film ideas, Eli is desperate for creative inspiration.

The mid-season finale of Season 12 in August was the #1 specialty program in its timeslot in its key demographic of viewers 12-17, as well as the #1 non-sports specialty program, with viewers 12-34.”

Degrassi Pulls in Big Ratings for CTV

On October 20, 2009 By Erin Comments Off

Degrassi pulled in 608 000 viewers on CTV last Sunday! That’s the kind of numbers we were seeing for Degrassi back in season 6!! Hopefully Degrassi can keep this up, and maybe even jump higher in the ratings when CTV airs the much anticipated Riley episode in 2 weeks.

No word yet on the exact ratings for Degrassi on TeenNick, but we have heard that the show is doing very well and its ratings are very high.

Ratings: Degrassi Does Alright!

On October 5, 2009 By Erin 4 Comments

Degrassi pulled in 471, 000 viewers on CTV last night! That’s about 100, 000 more than the season 8 premiere. Considering the lack of promotion (at least from what I saw), I’d say that’s pretty good for Degrassi! It’s not nearly as high as Degrassi’s Canadian ratings in season 4/5, but it’s still much better than season 8. Perhaps the new characters are starting to catch on with Canadian audiences? Either that or the Vampire Diaries fans tuned in for Nina Dobrev.

Hopefully Degrassi does well when it premieres on TeenNick this Friday!

A new press release from CTV reveals that Degrassi is its the third highest rated TV series online. While Degrassi’s TV ratings have decreased in Canada over the past 2 years, fans seem to be getting their Degrassi fix online instead. Degrassi is the highest rated Canadian show online (beating out popular shows like Flashpoint and Corner Gas which exceed Degrassi in terms of television ratings). Overall, Degrassi trails only Gossip Girl and Greys Anatomy to sit in third spot. Other shows rounding out the top 10 include Desperate Housewives, Private Practice, and Lost.
