Vancouver – The Fall radio ratings period is now in full swing. Numeris, who does the radio ratings for Canada has released its “summer book”. News/Talk stations like CBC, CKNW and News 1130 remained steady. Music radio usually takes a summer hit as people are out and about, although COVID has played with the ratings this go round. Sports radio was simply awful as they scrambled for content.

Fraser Valley stations only have two ratings periods, Sping and Fall. KiSS radio is licensed as an (oddity) Chilliwack-Vancouver spill station.
