I presume that you are referring to CJBC-FM-1 on 103.9 MHz, which
carries the second CBC French service Espace Musique. There has been
an ongoing project over the past few years to expland this service, and
also the secocd English service, Radio 2, across Canada. Both
networks have always been FM only.

I know of no plans for CBEF-540 (the Premiere Chaine station) nor
CBE-1550, the Radio 1 station, to move to FM. I think the probe is
a lack of FM frequencies in the Detroit-Windsor area, otherwise like
almost all CBC AM stations in eastern Canada they would have moved
some years ago.
