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."

Tory Lanez Announces New Tour Despite Being In Prison

The multi-city Not on "Tor" tour will feature DJs, special guests and music from the rapper's catalogue and make stops in Toronto and Montreal. The rapper will not be there himself, as he continues to a ten-year prison sentence on felony charges stemming from a 2020 shooting incident involving rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Tory Lanez is hitting the road from behind bars.

The Brampton-born rapper and singer has announced his Not On "Tor" tour, a multi-city experience that will bring his music into a live setting and connect fans to his catalogue while he continues to serve his ten-year prison sentence on felony assault charges. Kicking off on Sept. 25 with five dates across the U.S., the trek will also make two Canadian stops in Montreal and Toronto, whose details have been saved for a forthcoming special announcement.
