Note that the associated AM stations with their extensive
coverage areas will remain on the air. The FM stations will have limited
coverage and are intended to serve the areas of the cities in
question that are having problems receiving the AM signal due to
electrical
noise and so forth.

In the application the CBC indicated that replacing the present AM
transmitters
(four of which are 50 kW clear channel stations) with the required
multiple
FM transmitters was pretty much a no-go:) Only took the CBC about 25
years to
admit this:)
