Radio ratings no longer available to the public
A staple of ChrisD.ca‘s media coverage over the years has been the analysis and reporting of Winnipeg’s radio ratings.
This data is no longer being released publicly by Numeris, the Canadian company that measures audience radio listenership.
Such ratings data can be requested from an individual broadcaster, but couldn’t be deemed accurate or neutral for reporting purposes.
When asked, a Numeris spokesperson couldn’t say why this data is no longer being released on their website and referred ChrisD.ca to the broadcasters.
