Winnipeg radio listeners love their country music.
That’s the big takeaway from the latest spring ratings radio book released on Thursday. The Jim Pattison-owned station came in with a 9.0 share for the #1 FM-only station in the city, and the third-most listened to overall.
CBC Radio One continues to dominate the AM dial ahead of longtime leader 680 CJOB. CBC’s 13.8 share includes the station’s AM and FM frequency combined.
Lower down the chart saw the drop of 94.3 The Drive after its rebranding from FAB 94.3 earlier this year. The Drive is QX 104’s sister station located on Lombard Avenue.
The data measured the period from February 29 to April 24, 2016.
