Radio Gazza - Canadian Radio Update for September 12th, 2008

Things are starting to shake back to normal this week as stations are now fully launched into ratings mode. The theme of most promotions this year seems to be 'give away more cash than the other guy'. Which, frankly I think listeners are fine with. Also, this weekend the Yankees open their final home-stand at the legendary "house That Ruth Built", Yankee Stadium. Sadly it won't mean anything in terms of a playoff run, but there's always next year. Mark this as the date that I officially jump on the Milwaukee Brewers bandwagon.

Notable:

-Mediabase Reporting Panel Changes took effect as of Sunday evening:
-Curve 94.3 (formerly Q94) Winnipeg has been removed from the HOT AC reporting panel during this transition stage of their new format.

Canadian AC
