The numbers, released by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission yesterday, show total profits before interest and taxes for Canada's 628 AM and FM stations rose 12% to $335-million from $299-million in 2007.
Overall revenue is also up, by about 5%, to $1.58-billion from $1.5-billion. The CRTC credits higher ad revenues, up $60-million in the past year, for radio's strong performance.
