CRTC Study Tracks the Trends In Canada's Broadcast Sectors

By FYI Staff

A new CRTC study tracks the trends in Canada's broadcast sectors.


Among the findings:
Although radio stations continue to report declining revenues, the rate at which the revenues are shrinking is slowing down. This year, commercial stations reported a -0.5% growth rate, which is lower than the 5-year average rate of -1.6%.

Over 700 commercial radio stations reported revenues of $1,514 million in 2018, compared to $1,521 million in 2017.

Conventional TV stations generated less revenue in 2018 than in 2017 as they continue to feel the effects of weakening advertising sales. This trend is consistent with the overall negative growth of the past 7 years.

Conventional TV stations reported revenues of $1,541 million in 2018, compared to $1,608 million in 2017. The year-over-year decline of -4.2% exceeds the 5-year average of -3.9%.

Quebec's ADISQ Awards is Adding Its First Award for French R&B and Soul

Developed with ADVANCE, the addition marks the first time in its 45-year history that the awards program will officially recognize the genres, and marks a major win for Francophone R&B, soul and gospel artists.

Quebec's ADISQ awards are making a rare major change this year: adding a new prize for Best R&B/Soul album.

The provincial Association of the Record, Show and Video Industry (ADISQ) awards its coveted Félix trophies every year at a series of galas. ADISQ already presents 18 album of the year awards, in categories such as Rock, Folk, Country, Rap, and World Music. This year, the association will present a new award for R&B/Soul album of the year.
