[Swprograms] Another 50 kW CBC AM station to bite the dust...



>From Scott Fybush's "Northeast Radio Watch"


"*Eastern CANADA is losing one of its biggest remaining AM signals in
just a few weeks. The CBC signed on CBAM (106.1 Moncton) in January,
and that set the clock ticking for the end of 50,000-watt,
non-directional CBA (1070 Moncton), which has long been a beacon of
CBC service not only for much of the Maritimes but for the
northeastern U.S. as well.

"We're hearing that CBA will breathe its last on the AM dial early on
the morning of April 7, with the final sign-off coming at 8:30 AM ADT
(7:30 AM EDT)."

Full details at http://www.fybush.com/nerw.html.

Admittedly it isn't shortwave (for the SWPROGRAMS group) but it is yet
another sign of a broadcaster leaving existing frequencies and
services to better serve its target audiences (that term wears on
me...).
