Where is Energy?

It's the one that says "Energy."

Quoted from binzer

It's the one that says "Energy."

It wasn't on there before.  Smarty pants

Where is CHQR?

what about A25-54?

Wow was my earlier prediction off.  Who knew CBC would take this one?  And how about QR dropping 3 points since last time around?  Wonder if heads will roll on that morning show change right before the last book came out?

Thanks for posting CHQR.

WOW!! CBC wins Calgary ratings. This has to be a first!

What about cume? That's all that really matters for QR and 660.

Quoted from Red

CBC wins Calgary ratings. This has to be a first!

So the AM and FM are not counted as one in ratings?  1010 is 99.1, so together, they make 14!  And I don't think that includes the power boost CBR-FM recently did-so maybe even higher numbers on the way?

CBR FM is Radio 2.

CBR "AM" is Radio 1 total, regardless of frequency.

The CBC "win" looks more like a statistical blip to me than anything.  (7.3 to a 9.8 is a big jump for any station... never mind one that was a 6.7 just one book ago.)  The simple answer for CHQR (IMHO) is that the folks who got books this time around that listen to information and talk were CBC listeners rather than CHQR ones... It's the great beauty of the imperfection of BBM.

To me, the bigger stories in this rating appear to be the slow decline of CJAY (8.9/198k/239k to a 7.3/157k/190k S1 to S1), the seeming backwards progression of Energy (3.7/79k at launch in S2 to 2.6/74k in S1), and the softening of Country 105 (10.9/161k/204k to a 9.5/148k/172k S1 to S1).

Yes, it looks like the big dawg is starting a slow choke.

Right!  oops.  Forgot about 102.1.

CJAY and Q107 both took a hit.  Maybe it was simply not a kind sample of diaries for rock stations.  The jack station here also took a bit of a hit.

While a stodgy. rambling, gas-filled, non-V/T'ed CBC picks up the chaff and runs off with it, the rest cling to their contemporary, corporate formats and falter.... noticeably.
