The method for measuring audience has since changed because of the introduction of the Portable People Meter, but the market share is the same - 1.5% of the anglo market.

Also interesting is that CBC-Radio 2 is less listened to by anglophones than CJPX, a francophone station with a similar music repertoire. Any word on how CINW 940's ratings changed since they switched from news/talk format to oldies?

In a related story, a tree fell in the forest today and it didn't make a sound. Virgin Radio is one year old today.
