New Data On Podcasting Growth In Canada

By FYI Staff

Gone are the days when radio, television and one’s collection of music more or less accounted for all of one’s leisure time with media.


Audience’s attention is increasingly fragmented, and it is biting into the mainstream media of old. One of the fastest growing sectors in today's cluttered media landscape is podcasting.

Following up on last year's in-depth study on podcasting in Canada, with The Canadian Podcast Listener 2018, Audience Insights’ Jeff Vidler provides us with a taste of what’s in store with the release of the latest findings that are to be published later this year.

 “We're just out of the field, and we wanted to share some fresh top-line results from an initial survey of 3,118 Canadian adults. It confirms that podcast listening is indeed growing in Canada.

"Most important, while we see modest growth on awareness and sampling, we see even greater growth among Canadians who are digging into podcasting and making it a regular weekly habit."

Plus, Yungblud rides a wave of momentum into Toronto, Charlie Puth brings his pop music prowess to Vancouver and more.

Three Days Grace are gracing the stage for three shows in their home province. The 2000s rock band are hitting a new peak, following their latest album, Alienation. From No. 1 songs to a powerful dual-lead singer lineup, the group is moving into the biggest era of their career yet.

In addition, Yungblud brings his rock magnum opus, Idols, to Toronto while Copenhagen duo Snuggle performs their dreamy debut album in two Canadian cities. City and Colour celebrates 20 years with a handful of intimate shows, and certified pop hitmaker Charlie Puth proves that he’s a “bigger artist,” playing a nearly sold-out show in Vancouver.
