Pay and specialty TV posts the most impressive numbers in CRTC report

摘要

The CRTC's 2006 Broadcasting Policy Monitoring Report released on Friday June 30 will doubtless add more debate to the policy reviews currently underway for private radio and over-the-air television. On the radio side, listenership had decreased across the board from 1999 to 2005, but most acutely in the teens (aged 12-17) and young adults aged 18-24 and 25-34 categories. The increasing move away from AM-band transmission was also evident, with radio tuning to AM stations decreasing 6.7% for English-language stations and 3.8% for French-language ones between 1997 and 2005.
