Toronto -- CBC Radio One reached 2.4 million listeners, or 25 per cent fewer, over the course of September and October compared with the same time last year, the broadcaster said, citing new ratings numbers from BBM Canada. The main blow to Radio One was the lockout, although listeners quickly began returning as regular programming aired again, the CBC said. Radio Two, meanwhile, remained largely stable, reaching 1.1 million during the fall ratings period.
