As of last season, I believe RCI was only producing one show a week in 
Portuguese, resulting in it being repeated many times. I hope that RCI isn't 
simply repeating the same 30-minute program four times a day for three days. If 
this is so, I say cancel the Portuguese service on SW and reclaim those twelve 
hours of transmitter time (0.5 hour x 4 transmission x 2 freqs x 3 days) for the 
RCI English service, for which there seems to be a lot of demand in the U.S., if 
only for relaying more CBC programs.
