Seems to me there was a 530 besides CJFT operating somewhere in Ontario. But isn't CJFT the former 790, CHIC, Brampton?

Didn't CJFT go to FM and then CIAO came on later? I have them both QSL'd, but I think there was a gap between them.

That would seem to indicate that greater Toronto and Fort Erie are far enough apart that CIAO could be counted as an entirely different allocation, despite the relative closeness of Brampton and Fort Erie. That was my rationale for counting CIAO in 1991, something I'd ordinarily never do with cities that near to each other. In other words, if, by licensing that airport station and CJFT simultaneously, the CRTC was saying "Fort Erie and Toronto are two entirely different places!", who am I to differ?

And, in fact, I only count frequency changes as new stations IF a new station comes on the old station's previous frequency and I manage to hear both (example: me hearing KIDZ-1510 Independence, MO and KCCV-760 Overland Park, KS in 1991, after having previously logged KCCV on 1510 three years prior -- in my logbook I make this notation under KCCV-760: "Originally heard on 1510 on 4/9/1988").

WPOK-1080 in Pontiac, IL went silent, and WNWI-1080 in Valparaiso, IN moved its CoL to Oak Lawn, IL, about 75 miles to north of Pontiac (the difference being, of course, that there wasn't a frequency chance involved, like WKPR moving from 1420 to 1440). In my Iowa City logbook, I have WPOK and WNWI listed as two separate loggings since they were separate entities to begin with.

Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with that, since I was lucky enough to get CIAO on its previous 790 frequency in early 1991, just months before it moved to 530.

According to Michguide.com, Kalamazoo Broadcasting (aka Kuiper Broadcasting), owner of WKPR AM 1420 Kalamazoo, is paying $80,000 to Langford Broadcasting as part of an agreement that would take WDOW off the air permanently and have WKPR move to AM 1440 and increase power in November 2010. On March 24, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission cancelled WDOW's license and deleted the call sign from its database.
