Edmonton television ratings - Spring 2008

Unlike the Fall 2007 television ratings book that somehow allowed both Global and CTV Edmonton to claim the top spot, there was no mistaking the Spring 2008 numbers – Global's got it!

The local television arm of the Canada.com media empire beat out its longtime competitor in the key supper-hour time slot and for the first time in what seemed like forever, a CTV news director had to deal with being in second place.

Fall 2007 ratings

The "Fall 2007" book measured Edmonton television audiences from October 18th to November 21st. In January 2008 CTV and Global Edmonton both made claims declaring themselves the viewer's favourite choice. What gives?

Unlike the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement's radio ratings, details of television surveys are generally not made public ... unless stations have something good to say about themselves. In the case of the fall ratings, the same set of numbers seemed to be able to serve two masters.

Just as local media observers were absorbing the announcement of the departure of 630 CHED's Gord Whitehead came word that for the first time in over half a century there will not be a Hogle in the CTV Edmonton newsroom.

As of August 2007, third-generation news director Steve Hogle accepted a position as the Alberta Research Council's vice-president of communications and public affairs.

“I love television news and wasn't looking to move, but this brand new challenge came up,” Steve told the Edmonton Journal.

During his thirty years in the business, Steve has seen a lot of change in the media landscape. Concentrated ownership and national re-branding (the local station no longer refers to itself as CFRN) are part of a long list of indictments of how the local news business has been altered » full details »
