Re: [IRCA] BC Radio History

Hi, Here in Manitoba, colleges and universities have courses in broadcasting 
and these institutions also have their own radio stations; but they are all 
on FM. There is no interest in AM. Also quite a few small towns have their 
own low power FM stations. Of course I like it this way as it frees up AM 
frequencies every time an AM station moves to FM.
