The new PPM figures from Numeris have been released, giving buyers a look at audience patterns over the 13-week period covering Nov. 26th, 2018 to Feb. 24, 2019. In Toronto and Vancouver, holiday music strategies paid off for two radio stations, while most markets’ results showed a clear gender divide in the top stations.
Toronto: Although last quarter’s bragging rights for A12+ went to CBC Radio One, it was once again overtaken by contemporary station CHFI, which took a 13.7% (up from 11% last quarter). CHFI, as usual, benefited from its all-Christmas-music December strategy. The Rogers Media-owned station also took the number-one spot with women 25 to 54, delivering a 17.7% share (up from 15.3%). It also dominated with women 18 to 34, posting a 24.2 % (up from 20.6%).
For men, classic rock station BOOM-FM grabbed the top spot for 25 to 54, posting a 12.6% share (up from 12.4 % in the last 13 week book). CHFI-FM led the way for men 18 to 34 with a 12.9% share.
Vancouver: Radio One also lost the top spot in the Vancouver market; contemporary station QMFM grabbed the top spot for A12+, taking a 14.3% share of hours tuned (up from 10.9%). Like CHFI, QM benefited from its usual all-Christmas-music month. It grabbed the top spot for women 25 to 54, posting a 21.9% share (up from 17.9% last time out), and with women 18 to 34, posting a 16.9% share.
CBC Radio One still took the lead for male listeners 25 to 54, delivering a 12.2% share, followed by classic rock station The Fox at 11.6%. The Fox won for men 18 to 34 with a 17.3 % share of hours tuned (up from 15.9 %).
Edmonton: Talk station 630 CHED and adult contemporary station Now Radio tied for the top spot with A12+, each posting a 7.6 % share of hours tuned. Now dominated for women 25 to 54, delivering a 20.9% share (down from 21.2 %). Now also led with women 18 to 34 delivering a 17.1% (up from 17.0%)
Adult hits station CRUZ-FM topped the list for men 25 to 54 with a 10.3 % share (up from 7.7%). For men 18 to 34, Now led the charge, posting a 10.7% followed closely by Sonic at 10.6%.
Calgary: Oldies station XL103 led the way for A12+ with a 9.7% (up from 7.8 % last time out). Country 105 remains popular with female audiences, taking #1 spot for women 25 to 54 and delivering a 13.9% share (although that’s down from 16.5%). It grew its market share with women 18 to 34, which it led with 30.3% (up significantly from 21.7%).
Alternative rock station X92.9 topped men in both key age demos, with 10.9% for 25 to 54 (down from 11.8%) and 8.7% for 18 to 34 (down from 10.8%).
Montreal: In the Francophone market, talk station CHMP 98.5FM posted top numbers for A12+with an 18.9% share (down from 20.1%). Adult contemporary station CITE-FM took the top spot in the women 25 to 54 demo, delivering a 25.4% share (up from 21.0%). For men 25 to 54, CHMP 98.5FM came out on top at a 16.2% share (down from 19.9 %).
For Anglophone listeners, talk station CJAD 800 took the top for A12+ with a 27.1% (down from 28.7%). For women 25 to 54, contemporary station The Beat 92.5 held the top spot with a 30.0% share (up from 29.9%). For men 25 to 54, The Beat also took the top at 20.6 %, followed by rock station CHOM-FM at 18.3%.
