My reply to the blog:

"Colin here, editor and creator of dxer.ca - Canada?s original website for the radio dxer (dx being distance) and dxing being the hobby of listening to radio stations far, far away.
It is all well and good to put CBC 690 onto FM for the benefit of you scrubbed city dwellers. But what of those country people and travelers that depend on the far-reaching voice of CBC 690? In Europe they use long-wave for penetration into the countryside. Yes, it is not hi-fi. If you want that, buy a satellite radio for your car or home - I did that so I could pick up the CBC where their AM signal faltered.

Why not do both? CBC on AM and FM? In Victoria we have Radio-1 on 90.5, which is essentially CBU 690 with some local content and a fresher signal.
Just saying,"
