We are thrilled to announce that FPinfomart.ca now offers a complete Broadcast Monitoring solution, with the addition of radio monitoring to our already-robust television monitoring product.

About our radio content

Our radio content includes access to ongoing summary notes from 30 Canadian radio stations. These 30 stations represent a diverse geographic sample of Canadian regions, and include the most prominent (by authority and audience size) stations in each region. Please see the end of this page for a complete list of the 30 stations we are monitoring.

A summary note is a short description of a particular segment of a radio broadcast. It includes the program name, the station name, one or two sentences describing what the segment was about, the time at which the segment aired, the name of the speaker (usually the radio host), and a list of additional keywords describing the segment. These keywords usually include any companies names, people named or interviewed, and any other topics not mentioned in the text description of the segment.

Radio is monitored from 6am to midnight, Monday to Friday and from 8am to 5pm on weekends.

There are three ways you can access radio content:

1. Personal Profiles
2. Browse Radio
3. Search Radio

1. Radio content in Personal Profiles

Each radio station is a separate "source" in FPinfomart.ca, which allows you to add any or all radio stations to any or all of your Personal Profiles. Radio results will be intermingled with your other Profile results. For the purposes of the free trial, ALL radio stations have been automatically added to your Personal Profiles, IF you had selected the either All Sources, or if the "Broadcast and Transcripts" source category was part of your source selection for a Profile.

2. Browse Radio

Clicking the "Browse Radio" button under the Broadcast Monitoring section of the left-side navigation menu will bring you to a screen which lists all 30 stations we monitor. Just like with all of our Browse Latest News functions, you may click the name of a station to view all of the current day's content. You'll be able to use the date navigator to view any day's content within the last 14 days.

3. Search Radio

Click the "Search Radio" button under the Broadcast Monitoring section of the left-side navigation menu to bring up a Quick Search form which allows you to search the day's radio content by keyword or phrase. Just like Quick Search in other areas of the site, the keyword or phrase you enter will be searched exactly as you type it. By default, all radio stations are searched, though you can drop down the source selection menu to choose an individual radio station.

As well, we show you the current day's results by default, however you may use the date navigator to view any day within the last 14.

Ordering full transcripts or audio clips

If you would like to order the full transcript of any segment, or its associated audio clip, please contact Cynthia Benaicha directly by e-mail at cbenaicha@canwest.com. There is an additional charge for transcripts and audio clips.
