TORONTO, June 22, 2015 /CNW/ - Starting June 24, Global's homegrown hit
Rookie Blue moves to an all new timeslot on
Wednesday nights at 9pm ET/PT.
The nation's top Canadian drama of 2015 (A18-49, A25-54) had
an explosive premiere this spring, and is averaging over 1.5
million weekly viewers (2+) with no intention of slowing
down.
This Wednesday's all-new episode starts with a bang after a
community-outreach baseball game erupts in a drive-by shooting and
Gail's relationship with her brother, Steve
Peck, is put to the test in the search for the shooter.
Meanwhile, Sam plans a getaway with Andy up to Oliver's cabin,
which goes off the rails in every possible way – except one.
The sixth season of Rookie Blue has been
chock-full of dramatic, edge-of-your-seat moments anchoring the
series as Global's #1 Canadian series of 2015. For additional data
highlights, please see below.
