Wow...another Canadian AMer going to FM with conserably worse coverage. Is 
no one listening to AM in Canada or to CKKW on AM ?

73 KAZ wondering why they'd want to do this ??

The CRTC has approved the application of CKKW-1090 Kitchener ON to
move to FM (99.5 MHz, 2.1 kW).  With only 2.1 kW on FM their service
area
will be small compared to what it presently is ( I am very familiar with
this station as I lived in the Kitchener-Waterloo area for several
years)

<http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2008/db2008-277.htm>

CKKW Kitchener – Conversion to FM band
1.
The Commission approves the application by CTV Limited (CTV) for a
broadcasting
licence to operate a new English-language commercial FM radio
programming undertaking
in Kitchener, Ontario, to replace its AM station CKKW. The terms and
conditions of
licence are set out in the appendix to this decision.
2.
The Commission received numerous interventions in support of this
application.
3.
The proposed FM station will continue to broadcast an Oldies music
format targeting
adults between the ages of 40 and 64. Approximately 124 hours per
broadcast week
will be devoted to local programming. The station will broadcast
seven hours and
50 minutes of spoken word programming per broadcast week, including
one hour and
39 minutes of news.
6.
As set out in the appendix to this decision, the licensee is
authorized to simulcast
the programming of the new FM station on CKKW for a transition period
of three months
following the commencement of operations of the FM station. Pursuant
to sections
9(1)(e) and 24(1) of the Broadcasting Act, and consistent with the
licensee’s request,
the Commission revokes the licence for CKKW effective at the end of
the simulcast period.

The station will operate at 99.5 MHz (channel 258B1) with an average
effective
radiated power of 2,100 watts.

73,

Deane McIntyre VE6BPO_______________________________________________
