NUMERIS Overview: PPM Ratings - Sep 2020
In a world badly shaken up by the events of 2020, it’s time to see how the latest PPM radio ratings released today have fallen out. The new PPM release from Numeris completes the fourteen-week period covering May 25, 2020 to August 30, 2020. Of course, this period includes listening that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, sometimes yielding unusual results.
Let’s look at the five PPM markets.
Toronto: Bragging rights at the top of the ratings heap go to CBC Radio One delivering a 15.9 % share for A12+ (down from 17.9 %). Here is a result worth taking note of. Taking the #1 spot with females 25-54 is Q107 (yes, Q107) delivering a 10.9 % share (up from 8.2%). Q107 also holds the #1 spot for males 25-54, posting a 12.1% share (up from 9.7 % in the last 13-week book). CBC Radio One leads the way for M18-34 with a 13.3%. closely followed by Q107 at 13.0%. Oh boy, no that should be oh girl……... for F18-34, Q107 leads posting a 17.3%. Congratulations to the Q.
Vancouver: CKNW grabs the #1 spot for A12+ with a 13.5% share of hours tuned (down from 15.8%). Listen to this one.

The FOX is out in front for M18-34 with a 19.5 % share of hrs. tuned (down from 21.6%. These are unusual times, but I’m getting used to it……. when it comes to Females 18-34 ROCK 101 leads with a 17.4% share followed by the FOX at 14.4%.
