   It is interesting to note the dominance that "Frosty" Forst  had on CKNW 's ratings 24 years ago.  You will also notice the increases  for the FM stations: CFMI, CFOX and QMFM while many AM stations dropped.  FM was starting to seriously challenge in the ratings race in the early 80's.  When you read the "Rise and Fall" article on CJOR you will see the sudden decrease in its ratings.
