TORONTO (March 5, 2024) It’s almost showtime! As we gear up to take centre stage, Citytv reveals the showstopping performers appearing on Canada’s Got Talent’s Million Dollar Season, thanks to Rogers, beginning Tuesday, March 19 at 8 p.m. ET/PT with a two-hour episode on Citytv or stream anytime on Citytv+. The highly anticipated talent competition series spotlights 116 acts on the Canadian stage as they face the #CGT judges – Howie Mandel, Lilly Singh, Trish Stratus, Kardinal Offishall – and compete to win the grand prize.

The winner of Canada’s Got Talent’s Million Dollar Season receives a life-changing prize of $1M – the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history – thanks to Rogers, plus financial advice from CIBC. And that’s not all! Every Golden Buzzer recipient will receive $25,000 (totalling $150,000), courtesy of CIBC, to help realize their ambitions. Orville Redenbacher, Kruger (Scotties Tissues), and Unilever (Dove and Dove Men + Care) join Canada’s Got Talent’s Million Dollar Season as premium sponsors, in addition to returning partners – Rogers, CIBC, and Tim Hortons.

#CGT’s Million Dollar Season is upping the ante with wild and weird acts, world-record breaking stunts, and several contestants who are pursuing their dreams abroad but now coming home to compete on the Canadian stage. Hosted by Lindsay Ell, Canada’s Got Talent culminates in a live two-hour finale on Tuesday, May 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT from OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls.

Together with Canada’s Got Talent, Rogers is committed to investing in premium original Canadian content while fostering homegrown talent. Last year, Rogers contributed approximately $950M to Canadian content and produced over 12,700 hours of unique Canadian programming.
