Re: Winter PPM

Did the 640 listing really say "The Hog?" It hasn't been called that since 1995.

No, that's just me being silly since it's the only station Numeris doesn't provide a "name" for

Wow.
Q, Virgin, CHUM FM, NT 1010... yikes.

Today FM... who's in charge there?

Q's probably a bad bounce and will mostly recover. Though they do have an issue of P1s moving out of the demo and attempting to stay younger not working as well as they'd want.

CHUM took an absolute beating from Christmas Music.

Re: Winter PPM

Look at 102.1 The Edge!  What happened?  Now they are a contender again.  Good thing they didn't take my recommendation and go Country!

See Q but the other way around. It'll settle.

Re: Winter PPM

95.3 on 0.9? I did not think that the rebrand in 2019 was going to work. They should have stayed as 95.3 Fresh Radio instead after Tucker and Maura moved on to CFNY 102.1.

Nice numbers, but what are the morning numbers like? It sure would be nice to see higher morning numbers for Edge than Virgin...just to make a point that maybe Virgin never should have let them go?  

I don't know...just sayin'...

Stingray just might be operating on a different perspective that helps them avoid the tax man.
Deliberately have one station that makes all the money and one that does not. 
That way, at tax time they sit UNDER a tax bracket and not (just) over one.

(something like that...)

Newstalk1010 at a paltry 1.1?  How the mighty has fallen.  They must have done the count during 'The Resh'.

Re: Winter PPM

640 and 1010 continuing to realize that majority Fox News, Sun Media, old man, right wing radio programming is just plain stupid in Toronto....

It's only "640 Toronto" now, they got rid of "Global News Radio" a while ago.

I know. Numeris just calls them 640 CFIQ while everyone else gets a name...so jokes.

Re: Winter PPM

I can't believe, 1010 has fallen that far. 640 was always been low, wondering how do the talk station morning shows do ?

1010 looks a lot better if you look beyond 55. Audience is aging and not being replaced.

Re: Winter PPM

It doesn't help that Bell has essentially dismantled the place over the past few years. The audience doesn't have to be into radio to know this old grey mare ain't what she used to be.

There aren't brackets on corporate taxes. Also, that's not how tax brackets work.

So why are they doing something that can't even bring in a share in the Toronto market? 
A Tax write off makes good sense.

Occam's Razor applies here: They screwed up.
