Spring Radio Ratings Out But Still Awaiting Toronto
Consultant David Bray has a look at various markets from the latest Numeris Spring Radio Ratings, although Toronto isn't one of them. (These are diary only numbers, while the PPMs - including for the GTA - will come out next week.)
Those in Ottawa might be interested in what happened in that market. It's also worth noting that with all the talk about defunding the CBC in the last election, it's still the top station in most of the cities listed in the article.

I still think that the foolish defunding of CBC was a factor in Poilievre losing his Ottawa area seat. CBC head office is in Ottawa, so not a smart move talking about defunding a popular service in a government town and potentially people losing their job. The whole defunding CBC thingy gave the conservatives pretty much zero votes in the election. It was a non issue for 99% of Canadians.

I completely agree and was baffled when they went there. Any polling I’ve seen about CBC makes it clear that that position only appeals to an unmovable portion of the CPC base with almost no appeal beyond.
And I don’t think Quebecers believe him at all that SRC would be spared.
