Best of MTL 2019: Media

CJLO radio show Pancake Party and its host Dave Tone have ascended their respective categories straight to the top this year, proving that Montrealers are still tuning in to hear live performances by their favourite locals (and that the popularity of indie pop persists). In the Best TV Personality category, Québécois comic Jay du Temple (#2) and CTV reporter/podcaster Julian McKenzie (#3) enter the Top 5 for the first time, while Mike Ward’s Sous Écoute podcast rises to #1 from last year’s #3 ranking. Tranna Wintour and Fuck No Montreal retain their holds on Best Twitter and Best Instagram, and we must again thank our readers for making us the #1 Best Magazine, Newspaper and Website. With fewer and fewer publications in print, it’s encouraging to see so many votes for so many different papers and glossies across both categories.
