Legends Mark Triumphant Debut on Warner TV January 26, 2016
Rating wins for DC's Legends of Tomorrow' mark beginning of huge year for superheroes
HONG KONG - Superhero fans around Asia tuned in en masse to catch the premiere of DC's Legends of Tomorrow on Warner TV last Friday, January 22. In Singapore, it ranked No. 1 in its timeslot, generating a 78% share among the 13 English Entertainment Channels for the Cable 20-44 demographic and led the nearest competitive channel by more than four times*.
In the Philippines, it was Warner TV's No. 1 transmission for 2016 YTD in the key 20-44 demo**. Its encore airing on Saturday night primetime was the No. 1 transmission across English entertainment channels for the entire week of January 17-23, 2016 for both Cable 2+ and Cable 20-44***. It generated 1.18 TVRs for Cable 20-44, leading the nearest competitive channel by more than 2 times****.
Marianne Lee, Vice President of General Entertainment Content at Turner International Asia Pacific, said: Warner TV has recently been really successful in attracting younger audiences, in particular amassing a sizeable fan base for our DC Comics-inspired shows. Viewers who already tune in for iZombie, ARROW, Gotham and The Flash are rubbing their hands with excitement at DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The show builds on the best of all of these - delivering a hugely impressive cast, a big-budget feel and a legendary storyline.
This 16-part show is really the springboard for DC this year on both small and big screens. On Warner TV, in addition to all our returning series, there is also Supergirl flying in later this year. High-profile Warner Bros. theatrical releases from the DC universe in 2016/7 include Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, The Justice League Part One and Wonder Woman.
The impressive start for DC's Legends of Tomorrow mirrored the show's performance on The CW in the U.S. just hours before the Asia debut. It premiered to 3.14 million total viewers and a 1.2 rating, resulting in the network's most watched Thursday in more than three years, and achieved its best demo number in the timeslot for two years.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow features an all-star cast playing an ensemble of the most legendary (but also ragtag) characters in comic book history as they battle against a diabolical threat against the world. It brings in characters from sister-series The Flash and ARROW. New episodes air every Friday, the same day as the US, on Warner TV at 9pm.
