[Swprograms] Re: CBC programs and audibility

["rmonty23" <rmonty23@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:
I for one miss the weekday broadcasts of CBC.  I usually have to wait till
the weekend to hear any of CBC here near Philly.  I sure wish they would
adjust the freq as it was this past summer.  Seems Sackville does really
well with the relays to this area but their own CBC is lost somewhere.

I get the idea they might be trying to drive me to listen over the internet.
Forget it.  I have no interest what so ever in listening via the computer.
Poor programs or not, it sure would be nice to hear as it happens in the
early evening as it was.
