News Flash (Get it?)

Flashpoint is a ratings winner, according to overnight (US) Nielsen figures. The audience for its Friday premiere epi peaked at 8.23 million viewers, numbers that made CBS, its American broadcaster, the night’s winner (with a 1.5/6 share). No word yet (from CTV) on Canadian audience numbers. Incidentally, Numb3rs, which aired an hour earlier at 9 PM, peaked at 6.75 million viewers.

To put the stats into context, one of the summer’s biggest winners - CBS’s Greatest American Dog (with a killer Thursday 8 pm timeslot) - posted almost 10 million total viewers. Bet they’re barking happy at Television City.
