Friday's episode of Canadian drama Flashpoint managed to bring back about 85% of the audience for round two and was the most-watched program of the night on both sides of the border. (The decline could be attributed to the Joker Effect, as ratings for Friday were depressed compared to the previous week, while 10 million people took in the newest Batman film.) In a sign of confidence, CTV and CBS, which broadcast Flashpoint in the States, have been replaying the show on Sundays to boost exposure. The tactic was one way to counterbalance Flashpoint's so-called "dead zone" timeslot of Friday at 10 p.m. (Although if eight to nine million viewers can find a show at the time, is it the slot that is the problem or the lack of involving programming?)
