Astral’s stranglehold continues in Montreal. News/Talk CJAD keeps humming along in 1st with just under a 25 share. Their sister-station, Virgin (CJFM-FM) did drop a share, but remain comfortably in 2nd. After changing to a Hot AC/Rhythmic AC in September of last year, Cogeco’s 9-2-5 The Beat is struggling to gain traction. They dropped from 16.3 to 14.9, but managed to hold onto their 3rd place ranking. CHOM softened slightly, but they were also able to maintain their position. The CBC (CBME-FM) was virtually flat book to book. The remainder of the stations stayed in the lower single digits.
