New Ratings, Same Old Leaders: CBC, CHFI & Boom

CHFI and Boom continue to top the list of the #1 stations in Toronto, according to the latest Numeris PPMs released for the period from August to November of last year. But if you look at just 12+, CBC Radio One is in first place. While those numbers still give CFRB a huge lead over 640, the breakdown of men and women in the key demos puts them much closer, with 640 actually leading in Men 25-54 by a slight margin.

And, as always, almost no one is listening to TSN 1050.

See all the numbers that have been released here.

Not listed.

But they didn't start regular programming until late in the year. I'm sure they'll be near the top of the list in the next book.

If that book is the phone book.

(Do they still publish those anymore?)

These appear to be summer ratings, not winter 2018/19 ratings...

You may be right. I may have accidentally linked to the wrong page.

The actual numbers - from Nov. 2018 to Feb. 2019 - are here.

Sorry. I was a bit distracted because of a phone call informing me of an elderly family member who fainted this morning and may have to go to the hospital. So my whole day has turned upside down as I wait for word. 

As it turns out, the numbers still give CHFI and CBC their usual leads, with Boom not far behind. 

And as before, no one is listening to TSN 1050! 

The real numbers

GNR 640 is also in what is essentially a statistical tie with 1010 in women 25-54...

We should have been aware that there was an erosion of trust

Good for BOOM. 973.   A great, fun, nostalgic station.  CHFI is great also for its variety so I totally agree with this.

I guess the chick's at CHUM FM running that whole station and their drop of the "FM" in thier name change last summer didnt do much.

Virgin 99.9 (CKFM) too a real hit this quarter. Wonder if that has anything to do with Tucker In The Morning being zapped. The new morning show with Adam Wylde and TJ did not start until January and more recently Jax from Kiss has become part of it. They sound pretty good and should catch on, but that is to be determined.
