Bray and Partners president David Bray delvesinto the latest Numeris PPMs to provide analyses on who made the most significant gains and losses in Canada's top radio markets.


In a world badly shaken up by the events of 2020, it’s time to see how the latest PPM radio ratings released Sept. 10 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 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 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.

Drake Calls Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Defamatory In Updated UMG Lawsuit

Drake's lawyers say the halftime show aimed to "assassinate the character of another artist," but UMG calls the updated case the latest "absurd" move by the superstar.

Drake has filed an updated version of his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” claiming the rival’s Super Bowl halftime show was intended to “assassinate the character of another artist.”

In an amended complaint filed late Wednesday, Drake’s attorneys say the Super Bowl show, watched by 133 million people and “million of children”, “revitalized the public’s attention” to lyrics calling Drake a “certified pedophile” – a diss that the Canadian superstar claims is false and defamatory.
