CHWO is still ND from that same tower out in Hornby. The difference is,
they're processing their audio more aggressively than CBL ever did, so the
signal has a punch that it completely lacked in the CBC days. The only
area where it's really a problem is along the streetcar lines on Queen and
King downtown, where most AM is messy these days.
