CFCN, like practically all Canadian television stations, no longer
uses its call letters or channel number to identify itself, which is a
real shame IMHO. Since the late '00s, CFCN advertises itself as CTV
Calgary. The news is CTV News Calgary and its weather forecasts are
referred to as Skywatch Weather. ``92.1 at 0023, Calgary ads, for -- Coast, mortgages; country CCI;
0025 traffic report about Deerfoot? Trail, ``CJ-92, text 92-92-92;
phone = Calgary (403) 249-CJ92: CJAY-FM 92.1 CALGARY AB CAN ROCK C-JAY
100.0 kW 298.5 m --- 2075 km = 1289 mi`` Deerfoot Trail is correct — it's the city's primary north-south
freeway. 73, Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada``` The Channel 4 reference must then have been CCI about a US station.
The 92.9s elsewhen were in MT and WA. Spokane has a virtual 4, KXLY.
Searching on `Channel 4 Weather Center`` gets nowhere, and then there
is KXLF in Butte, not the 92.9 city but Great Falls. Informal names
for TV weather shops are too generic; and it`s even harder to match up
online which radio stations have deals with which TV stations for
weather info -- often unrelated businesses. This is certainly the case
in OKC, Tulsa. ``Hi Glenn, On 7/24/2022 6:57 PM, 'Glenn Hauser' via WTFDA wrote:

94-5` This one would be "Today's country, Chat (i.e. CHAT), my local, before
Great Falls took over. I experienced the same opening, mostly OK and
TX stations, though also a few from KS, MO, AR, NM. It's been a busy
weekend, so haven't finished going over everything yet. A mixture here
of live listening on the truck radio, and some recording on the ELAD.

at 1801 I had a stand-alone log of CHAT 94.5 Medicine Hat (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EUROPE. 6185.040, July 24 at 1958, pirate Free Radio Service
Holland with publicized broadcast, rock, mentions YouTube, DJ in
Dutch, S7/S8 into UTwente, 1959 English ID, 2000 ``Dave Scott`s Radio
Waves on FRS Holland``. Nominal span was 19-21 UT. ACI from 6180,
German weather station. Unfortunately at 20-22 UT Sundays I like to
listen to `Wind & Rhythm` band music, and `Feminine Fusion`, classical
music composed and/or performed by women, on KUCO in $ tereo. Two other
FRSH frequencies turned out to be flexible as many others reported,
7700 and 5800 up or down to avoid QRM. More such programming planned
next two Sundays, except no 6185 on July 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 13735, July 25 at 1502, marine weather info in French,
S5/S7 into Maryland with deep fades; as another ``Mini-Trans-At``
yacht race is underway from France to Azores, prompting daily
broadcasts via Issoudun at 1500-1530 for the racers. Per HFCC
registrations effective from July 19. Expect there will be a second
leg later, truly T-A, from Azores to Caribbean. Same non-professional announcer switches to English at 1511, citing
conditions as of 12 UTC at certain geo coordinates. At 1520 starts
mixing French and English. It seems to me a visual display, e.g. fax
would be much more usable aboardyachts, but maybe they don`t have
fancy receiving equipment. Chopped off abruptly at 1530* while still
speaking. Also scheduled on 5975, unchecked. Dave Kenny reports to BDXC-UK:
``This transmission is listed in HFCC from 19 July until 16 August:
