	No, CBC already has their own sw transmitters,
	they just need to boost the power and add some
	new directional antennas.
	
	They don't need the RCI transmitters.

	Portuguese is important to the large Lusophone
	community of Brazil, Cape Verde, Africa, and 
	the Azores.

	There are a couple of newspapers recently 
	opened up in Portugese/English as the community
	flourishes beyond the Portugal and Azorean 
	foundings to include the Macanese, and the 
	Brazilians (biggest country, but not Spanish,
	in Latin America)
