Re: [Swprograms] DX Listening Digest 5-148; WOR Extra 60

Regarding:

** CANADA. Re CBC overnight programming now? I could only check the
local R. 1 (90.5 FM) and Moncton 1070. Both were on at 3 a.m. local
time with // soft-rock/pop music, no announcements between songs (Jean
Burnell, NS, Aug 27, MWC via DXLD)

No announcements between songs, but recorded announcements on the hour 
explaining the absence of the hourly news, accompanied with obligatory apology 
or regrets.

Opposite to the lack of radio news, it appears the CBC is ploughing its 
resources into providing a round-the-clock TV news service. One-minute newscasts 
on CBC Newsworld (all-news cable channel) continue as usual during late nights 
and overnights, and a ten-minute management-produced news program preceeds 30 
minutes of BBC News at 10 p.m. local time.
