The seasons are changing, but many of the country’s top radio stations have seen few shifts of their own. Numeris has unveiled results from the most recent 13-week period, between Feb. 26 to May 25. The numbers show that many of the usual players held the top spots, with few dramatic changes in audience shares.
Toronto:
Bragging rights go to CHFI-FM once again. The station pulled in a 12.2% share of hours tuned in for adults 12+, although that’s down from 14.6% last quarter. BOOM-FM leaped into the number one spot with women 25 to 54, delivering a 15.2% share, nearly doubling from 8.6% last quarter. It overtook CHFI-FM, which pulled in a 14.4% share (down from 17.9%).
BOOM-FM also holds the spot for males 25 to 54, posting an 11.1% share, up from 6.9% in the last 13-week book. CHFI-FM also led the way for the male 18 to 34 crowd with a 10.3% share, followed by BOOM at 10.2%. For women 18 to 34, CHFI-FM held onto the top spot with 23.6%, down slightly from 24.2%.
Vancouver
CBC Radio One held onto its number one spot among adults 12+, with its 15.3% share barely down from 15.7% last quarter. Taking the top spot for women 25 to 54 was QM-FM, posting a 16.5% share, down from 19.6% last quarter. FOX increased its share with men 25 to 54 to 13.8%, up from 11.4%, securing its lead for that demo. It made an even bigger jump with men 18 to 34, grabbing 22% (up from 15.8%). QM-FM took the top spot with millennial women at 16.8%, although that was down from 21.5% last quarter.
Edmonton
Adults 12+ stuck with Now Radio, although its share remained relatively low at 10.5% (up from 9.7%), indicating a significant split among competitors. The station posted higher shares within each of the key individual demographics, which it delivered a clean sweep in. For women 25 to 54, Now Radio delivered a 19.5% share (up from 15.6%). For men 25 to 54, it took 12.5% (down from 12.1%). With men 18 to 34, it delivered 17.6% (down from 22.1%) and it took women 18 to 34 with 14.7%, knocking Sonic out of the lead.
Calgary
The Calgary market’s listener share stayed relatively stable across its various stations from last quarter. CBC Radio One also took this market, after tying for the top spot with Newstalk 1010 last time. CBC increased its share with adults 12+ to 9.1% (up from 8.2%). Women 25 to 54 opted for Country105, which took a 10.5% share (down only slightly from 10.6%). Women 18 to 34 also opted for Country105, which held strong with a 12.3% share among that group. Men 25 to 54 stuck with X92.9, with an 11% share (up from 10.9%). The station also won with millennial males at 12.1% (down from 12.7%).
Montreal (all languages)
CHMP 98.5 held strong with Francophone adults 12+, taking an 18.3% share (barely down from 18.5%). Francophone women 25 to 54 chose CFGL-FM, which upped its share to 19.3% from 18.4%. Men 25 to 54 in the Francophone demo chose CHMP 98.5FM with a 17.8% share (down from 20.5%).
