Montreal PPM Results

Astral continues to dominate the Montreal market with the #1 and #2 stations. News/Talk CJAD controls almost ¼ of the audience. Virgin hangs onto #2 but drops 1.9%. It is still the #1 cumed station in the market, though, as lots of people are sampling it. The rebranded station that used to be known as Q became The Beat under the new ownership of Cogeco and scores a #3 position (no change), but this is impressive since they blew up the brand and launched a younger appealing product. TSN (CKGM) picked up 3 positions to # 6 while Rythme FM (CFGL) looks to be losing its way dropping 3 positions to 9th.
