Re: [IRCA] License of CHSC-1220 St Catharines ON NOT renewed by CRTC, will go silent

[Mike Hawkins <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

With what seems to be the Canadian government's goal of keeping anyone thats
not in a metropolitan area from hearing radio stations, I wonder how long it
will be before they ban AC power and force everyone to use batteries.  There
is no way that all populated areas of the country can be served by FM only,
and I really wonder why they are shutting down AM broadcasting piece by
piece.
