Radio Gazza - Canadian Radio Update for September 5th, 2008
First week of ratings and I'm sitting at home with a bit of a flu so I'll keep it short this week. Folks are buckling down but it looks like things will normalize over the next few weeks.
Notable:
-XM52 is broadcasting all main-stage performances from Virgin-fest in Toronto this weekend
-Mike Tyler named as new MD/APD at Jack FM Toronto
-Q94 Winnipeg has flipped to "Curve 94.3 - Winnipeg's Pop Alternative". The station's launch media release states "The Pop Alternative format is a result of extensive audience research and consultation with music fans. Winnipeggers told CHUM Radio they wanted a station that played cutting-edge contemporary music without the bubble gum pop or hard rock. Out of that research, CURVE 94.3 was born - a station that will have wide appeal, especially among the target audience of adults aged 25 - 40."
