Looks like a CBC AM and Team gain at NW's expense - CKNW weak in two pillars - hockey and talk.  Thoughts ?  NW was a 14.4 this time last year.

How about the morning show numbers.  I'm curious to see if the 2nd coming of Fred & Kathy was all it was cracked up to be!  

Does anyone have any of the other breakdowns...dayparts, demos etc?

CKBD without Rafe Mair dropped from 4.3 to 3.2

      NW is clearly eroding, but you have to give it to em, they're still number 1,even minus puck and pigskin.Team
gains are obviously significant, but there are those of us who hoped for even more, perhaps
a 4 share to pass WX and AM 600, not quite though.  Still doubling to 3.2 shouldn't be
sneezed at.  JR deserves a tip of the cowboy hat, and Jack continues to be strong,
as do CHQM and CFMI.  Not a great C-FOX book, as for AM 730, my unsolicited advice that
will go unheeded, is for them to say NOTHING about it, just" no comment," no spin, no false
promises..  Won't happen though.   That ole Mother Corp still puts up some
good #'s don't they?  Dealing with 12+ is still somewhat folly IMO, but we'll see how the other
demos and day parts breakdown, complete probably with the usual requisite spin and claims
from all corners.  (Including ours)..

They don't publish how the numbers break down hour by hour, do they?  Only the stations get that information, correct?

Hey leep... nice to see comments from someone who's currently employed, bright and knows his/her stuff.  Well reported and said.

One small correction:  CJJR hasn't been identified as "JRCountry" in over a decade.  It's JRfm   And thanks...

    JR FM, got er, they do play country though right pardner?

can someone in the know maybe make a fake name and post some basic break downs?  Top morning shows for key demos... don't need numbers, maybe just rankings would be fun to see instead of 12 +.

Also, do media companies read this site?  Would be good to read their editorials on the ratings and their perceptions.

Is 18-54 a new money demo created by another brilliant ratings mind on PS? What radio station targets 18-54 as a core audience?

Quoted from Seerteac

What radio station targets 18-54 as a core audience?

Maybe so, but what a great core it would be to have... AM or FM!
