Puget Sound Radio

102.3 NOW! Radio dominates the demo breakouts for Edmonton.

QM/FM and The FOX are dominant in the demo breakout charts for Vancouver radio.

X92.9 wins the battle for male listener leadership in both demo charts, while KISS 95.9 and Country 105 divide up the women.

It was a March 9th (some 9-and-a-half decades ago) when Seattle’s KJR began radio broadcasting… when Edward R. Murrow on CBS-TV’s ‘See It Now’ exposed Senator Joseph McCarthy for the bullying fraud that he was… when New York’s WNBT broadcast the first local TV commercials in colour… when the Grand Old Opry aired its final Saturday night brodcast from the Ryman Auditorium … and when Dan Rather took over as CBS-TV anchorman, replacing Walter Cronkite. Specifics, and ALL the milestones for the date INSIDE.

It was March 8th when ”Transit Through Fire: An Odyssey of 1942,” the first opera commissioned by the CBC, was aired on radio coast-to-coast. When CBS-TV’s General Electric Theatre featured the only joint television appearance by The Marx Brothers in an almost-silent 30-minute episode called “The Incredible Jewel Robbery.” When the UK’s Dave Clark 5 made their first appearance on CBS TV’s “Ed Sullivan Show,” performing “Glad All Over.” And when the last original episode of “The Brady Bunch” was televised on ABC. Details and many more milestones for the date INSIDE.

The only significant change in the top 5 stations on the 12+ chart was KiSS FM, which soared into 5th spot from 12th.

Now takes the lead again in Edmonton, followed by 630 CHED. Nice jump for Fresh. Virgin is up! so is up! up!
