The first season of Canada's Got Talent, a reality television series, premièred on March 4, 2012 and ended on May 14, 2012 on City. Unlike America's Got Talent, the show only had the audition round, top 37, semi-finals, and then the finale. The premiere episode, which aired March 4, 2012, took in a viewership of 2 million on average throughout the night, a record for Citytv.
