The 2008 JUNO Awards on CTV was the most-watched program of the night on Canadian television with 1.45 million viewers.* Up 56% compared to last year’s broadcast (925,000), it was the second most-watched JUNO Awards ever on CTV, according to BBM Nielsen Media Research, since Shania Twain hosted from Ottawa in 2003**. A detailed audience analysis based on preliminary overnight research indicates that:
- the two-hour awards special was watched in all or in part by 4.3 million Canadians in total.
- the audience peaked at 1.7 million viewers when the legendary Anne Murray took to the stage with Sarah Brightman and Jann Arden.
- it was the most-watched program in primetime in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.
- it delivered more than double the viewers than The Trojan Horse: Part 2 on CBC (579,000).
- from 8-9 p.m., it delivered 73% more viewers than Big Brother on Global/NBC (836,000) and from 9-10 p.m. delivered 86% more viewers than Family Guy on Global (778,000).
Hosted by comic sensation Russell Peters from Calgary’s Pengrowth Saddledome, The 2008 JUNO Awards saw indie darling Leslie Feist take home a total of five JUNO awards, three of which – Single of the Year, Pop Album of the Year and Album of the Year – were delivered to her during the CTV broadcast.
Peters proved to be an edgy and hilarious host, sharing laughs – and wardrobe tips – with Calgary’s own Jann Arden, dancing with Jully Black during Black’s closing number, “Seven Day Fool” and making four wardrobe changes.
Seven awards were handed out over the course of the broadcast. In addition to Feist taking home three trophies, Michael Bublé was the JUNO Fan Choice Award winner (presented by Doritos), Blue Rodeo captured Group of the Year, Paul Brandt won for Country Recording of the Year, and Wintersleep was named New Group of the Year (sponsored by FACTOR and Canada’s Private Radio Broadcasters). Veteran Canadian rock act Triumph was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. A complete list of winners can be found at www.junoawards.ca or www.junos.CTV.ca.
Performance-wise, Alberta’s favourite sons – Aaron Lines, Gord Bramford, Johnny Reid, Paul Brandt and Shane Yellowbird – paid tribute to Calgary and the JUNO host province with “Alberta Bound.” Avril Lavigne, Finger Eleven and Hedley all rocked out, while Measha Brueggergosmon paid tribute to the late Oscar Peterson and Bublé got intimate by crooning “Everything” to the crowd. Musical legend Anne Murray appeared in a special duet with Jann Arden, singing “Somebody’s Always Saying Goodbye,” before Murray teamed with Sarah Brightman for a sentimental version of Murray’s “Snowbird.”
The 2008 JUNO Awards was supported by a comprehensive multi-platform campaign involving on-air, radio, outdoor and online promotions; on-air promos featured numerous JUNO performers and nominees including Anne Murray (with Jann Arden & Sarah Brightman), Avril Lavigne, Feist, Finger Eleven, Hedley, Jully Black and Michael Bublé in eight, distinct 30-second spots on CTV and across CTV Inc. channels; outdoor transit shelter billboards, LRT station posters and LRT train decals in Calgary; 30-second radio ads in Calgary and Toronto; and custom online promotions running across the CTV family of websites, plus on external sites for additional exposure.
The 2009 JUNO Awards, Canada’s Music Awards, will air on CTV on March 29, 2009 from Vancouver, British Columbia. It will be the eighth year in a row that The JUNO Awards will air on CTV, the official broadcast partner of the JUNO Awards. Since 2002, CTV has presented The JUNO Awards from across Canada, bringing a local, electrifying stadium show to millions of Canadian viewers at home.

Congratulations to all of the winners and Feist for taking home 5 Junos and putting on a great performance!
