[HCDX]: CBL in Toronto

[Werner Funkenhauser <funk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1999.06.01: Toronto's CBL will likely vacate 740 kHz on June 19!

          This evening at 2120 EDT, I received a telephone call from
fellow ODXA
          member, Wayne Plunkett. According to Wayne, who has it from a
reliable
          source within the CBC's Engineering Group, the date for CBL to
leave the
          AM band will be Saturday June 19. Full details are not yet
known re: time,
          etc. Presumably, shut-down will follow the same pattern as
already used
          when the two CBC Montrealers on 690 and 940 left the air.
Regular
          programming continued there until the target closing date and
time, then a
          continuous tape loop announced the closure and advised
listeners to tune to
          FM. Listen the evening of June 18, just before midnight. If
the plug isn't pulled
          then, June 19. Thank you Wayne for this information.
