Darned good question, Saul.  I've heard from two different people at CBC 
Windsor that CBE 1550 will definitely be shut down at midnight tonight, and 
they should know.  I seem to recall that the extension was requested because 
the Windsor FM transmitter was experiencing some interference issues, 
possibly related to IBOC from a Detroit station.  I can only surmise that the 
issues were resolved somehow, so that the extension beyond September 30 is no 
longer needed.  We'll find out for sure tonight, I guess!
