Both of these stations go back to the 1920's, CKBD was CJOR for  
several decades and CBU
started in 1925 or so as CNRV (operated by the Canadian National  
Railways) becoming CRCV
when the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC)  took the  
station over in 1932-33, then CBR
when the CBC took over the CRBC and finally CBU.
