 Though not the highest-rated show on CBC Radio One ("The Current" and "As It Happens" hold that distinction), "Q" is the highest rated show in its timeslot in CBC history, surpassing even Peter Gzowski who previously hosted the second hour of "Morningside" during the slot.The show is also regarded as standing out in CBC Radio One's schedule through attracting a younger, more social-media-adept audience than other CBC Radio programming.
