Radio moguls do the courtship dance

Article Abstract:

Radio station owners and media professionals believe that the impending ownership shakeup for the Canadian radio industry, which will place many stations under few owners, will not result in high ad rates. Toronto, Canada, Radio Station President Maureen Bulley even believes that the shakeup will effect economies of scale that will not justify any rate hikes. Meanwhile, radio station operators remain vague about the shakeup, saying they are dancing or are under a courtship-like ritual that precedes any business deal.

YTV pitches pre-teen radio concept

Article Abstract:

YTV Canada Inc has unveiled a proposal to launch a radio station for children using the 740 AM signal in Toronto, Ontario. The format of the radio station will be 80% music and 20% comedy and storytelling. YTV decided to focus on the children's market, specifically the six to 11 year-olds, because that segment is not well represented in Canada. In contrast, children's radio is established in the US.
