AM 740's coverage is pretty good.  Their sales department did a job of selling the coverage, lots of ads.
Citynews 680 one of the first to declare John Tory's victory.  

It's the same commercial inventory that would be airing any evening.



 

Guess they scheduled them different.  Last time I listened to Robbie Lane's evening show they didn't seem to have as many ads or long commercial breaks. 

Inventory in the market is tight right now. When the top stations sell-out, the other tiers get the overflow.

Jim Richards is covering it on 1010.

I'm enjoying the 640 coverage. Nothing special but well and constantly updated. They put morning man Greg Brady in Vaughan for the mayor's race, the one contest that's so close, it may go late into the night. He may as well not as even go home and just report straight to work for the morning shift!

Ooops! AM 640 decided to go to a commercial break just as John Tory was giving his victory speech. Great moments in bad timing.

In the '90s, Barrie's CKVR had produced municipal election coverage for the city and surrounding areas, and the CTV2 Barrie website has a couple of throwback photos from those productions. First is from 1994, and the other is likely from '98, during the "New VR" era, featuring former Barrie mayor Janice Laking at the roundtable.
