Special Notes
The rise of Magic with Mo: Mo and his magic arrived on the scene with 370 000 viewers in its premiere week (TAMS
Week 42) and is now reaching between 500,000 and 650,000 viewers a week.
It attracted 538,000 this week (Week 50) and 606,000 viewers in the following week (Week 51). The series high so far: 639,000 viewers in
Week 46 - a whopping increase of 73% from the premiere. Not an easy feat on a Saturday night.
This growth is a good example of a show slowly building by being engaging or entertaining. Well done, Mo.
PS: the finale's coming up this Saturday (9 January) at 19h00.
