Top 5 Debut for Celebrity Treasure Island

TVNZ Sales reports Celebrity Treasure Island was the fourth most-watched show of the week among viewers aged 18-54, a demographic that straddles the key audiences for TVNZ 1 and TVNZ 2.

It was beaten by only 1 News at Six, Seven Sharp and 1 Breaking News because of the extraordinary interest in lockdown developments and the spread of the delta variant.

Notable takeaways of CTI’s first week include:

• Having the second-highest reach and the fourth-highest streams of any series on TVNZ OnDemand.
