AS SUMMER DEPARTS, IT SEEMS things are heating up in anticipation of the November 1st CRTC hearings where the future of radio in Canada will be discussed. For now, let's grab whatever rays are left and attempt to shed a little light on the Summer BBM ratings figures released today.
Toronto: CHUM-FM slipped back a bit to 8% share from the spring, but that still puts them at the top of the heap. While always strong in terms of cume, 680 News also showed some impressive gains in terms of hours tuned jumping from a 4.2% to a 5.5% share of A12+.
Vancouver: A re-positioned Z95.3 posted some nice gains, moving from 6.1% to a 7.5% share of A12+ and a very respectable 9.1% share of females 25-54. Jack-FM remained strong with the critical 25-54 segment, delivering a 14.6% share of F25-54 (down from 15.9% in the spring) and a 17.9% share of M25-54 (up from 16.4%).
Winnipeg: After slipping somewhat in recent books, 99.9 BOB-FM posted some gains, bringing home 8.7% share of A12+ (up from 7.6%) and a 14.8% share of F25-54 (up from 10.9%). Power 97 was also looking good with 10% share of A12+ (up from 8.8%).
