  1. I noticed 104.3 breeze fm is playing its regular tunes outright, while it’s edmonton and Halifax equivalents are both still playing christmas tunes. Could be a sign of something coming, like a format flip…. To boom fm or country or maybe a simulcast of cknw or spice radio….

  2. I noticed that CBC Radio was no longer part of the Vancouver ratings. However, it was leading the ratings in Calgary. Rather interesting.

  3. Also interesting that our breeze fm is completely at its regular format and not the christmas format like in Halifax and edmonton. Could flip to boom or xl or country or sports after Christmas.
