CBN provides the results of its research to the public and businesses on its website at www.citybeatnews.com at no charge, reporting on its findings to consumers and business owners on a rolling annual basis. The assessment of performance over a longer time period leads to a more balanced and reliable indicator of expected future performance than rating systems that gyrate with daily new reports or claims.

"The Spectrum Award winners have earned our highest ratings and are posted on our website with their own Star Page highlighting further information."
