Taxpayer-funded CBC Radio One has maintained its lead in Winnipeg’s radio ratings race.

The federally supported broadcaster picked up a 14.2 per cent share of Winnipeg’s 12-and-older audience, according to survey statistics compiled by Numeris between Sept. 4 and Oct. 29 and released on Thursday.

Corus Entertainment-owned 680 CJOB was second in the ratings list, with an 11.2 share and country music channel QX 104 was third with 8.1 per cent.

CBC Radio One shed 0.3 per cent of its share while CJOB’s rose by the same 0.3 per cent compared with Numeris’s spring 2017 ratings.

The big mover in the fall ratings was 94.3 The Drive, which rose to fifth place from seventh in the spring-rating period. The Jim Pattison Group station scooped up a 6.6 per cent share of listeners, a full percentage point better than it did in the spring.

Non-reporting stations accounted for 13.9 per cent of listeners. 

Here is the full fall 12-and-older audience ratings list, with the spring 2017 numbers:

A Life's Story: Musician made great contributions, advocated for fellow artists

Conrad Sweatman 7 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

When a University of Manitoba dean came to inform Victor Davies that he was booted from pre-med in the late 1950s, it was — to permit a cliché — music to his ears.

“In his mind, what he heard was much more encouraging. He heard, ‘Follow your own dream. Listen to your own melody. Speak with your own voice,’” says Davies’s daughter, Heather.

Davies, who died at 87 from pancreatic cancer and PLS in late September, was nevertheless about to take a major gamble, one that would eventually earn him an honorary doctorate from the University of Manitoba and a nomination to the Order of Canada.

Few careers are as uncertain as music, and at a time when the composition departments were saying au revoir to tonality, embracing the heavily dissonant styles of France and Germany, Davies was about to go against the grain. He would soon find a new home across the border in Bloomington, Ind., where for four years he studied at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.

Instead of canola on Friday, there was sod.

But in two years’ time, by current estimates, the bare plot of land in a St. Boniface industrial park will hold canola samples and seeds for testing.

Bayer Canada officially broke ground on a 60,000-square-foot research and development facility Friday morning.

“It’s about bringing new and better innovation to farmers,” said Kacy Perry, Bayer Crop Science Canada’s country division head.

Movie theatre reopening generates excitement in Selkirk

Gabrielle Piché 2 minute read Yesterday at 6:51 PM CDT

Selkirk got an extra dose of lights, cameras and action this weekend.

And ribbon cutting — for the grand reopening of the city’s sole theatre.

“It’s fantastic,” Mayor Larry Johannson said. “The sky’s the limit.”

The Garry Theatre now operates under a non-profit charity. It’s been closed since 2021, when Landmark Cinemas left the city.

Deaths, injuries as fire hits Alberta military base: McGuinty

Fakiha Baig, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Updated: 2:17 AM CDT

WAINWRIGHT - Defence Minister David McGuinty says there have been deaths and injuries after a fire broke out Saturday at a military base in Alberta.

Fire crews scrambled late into the night as fierce winds whipped flames beyond CFB Wainwright, a massive military training base located 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.

McGuinty, speaking to reporters in Ottawa, confirmed the casualties but had no other details to share, including numbers or what happened.

"I cannot recall such an incident in my short time for sure as a minister, but I cannot recall an incident like this in recent memory,” McGuinty said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Cut yourself some slack, because it’s a bit lacklustre due to the moon alert. Cope as best you can. Socialize in a low-key way. Focus on hobbies and creative self-expression. Baby steps.
