Taxpayer-funded CBC Radio One continues its grip on Winnipeg’s radio ratings, according to listenership statistics released Thursday by Numeris Inc.

The federally funded radio station posted a 14.2 per cent share of the city’s radio audience members from ages 12 and up, the Numeris spring survey says, which measured the Winnipeg radio audience from Feb. 26 to April 22. CBC Radio One’s share remained unchanged when compared with ratings compiled from fall 2017.

The Numeris spring ratings show that Winnipeg has slowly become a three-station city. At second is 680 CJOB at 10.9 per cent, down from 11.2 in the fall, and country station QX104 was third at 10.3, shooting up from 8.1 per cent in the fall. No other Winnipeg radio station — 16 were measured in the Numeris survey — mustered more than a 5.9 per cent share.
