[IRCA] CFOK-1370 Westlock AB applies to CRTC to move to FM

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CFOK-1370 Westlock AB has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (97.9  
MHz, 27 kW, 93.7 meters).
If this trend continues soon AM in Alberta will be limited to the  
Edmonton and
Calgary markets....in fact the signal of CFOK in Edmonton is  
reasonably good at
present, at least during the day. Coverage of Edmonton will be pretty  
well lost
with this conversion.
