Re: [IRCA] WGN IBOC off

["Kenneth Nawalkowski" <kennethnaw@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
    I can do that but it probably won't help as when WGN started running 
IBOC at night I contacted CKDM, industry Canada and WGN about it. CKDM was 
grateful to me for informing them about the loss of reception in my area; 
Industry Canada said that it's beyond their jurisdiction and control since 
the offending station is outside Canada and WGN apologized for their 
interference but also stated that they are authorized to use it at night and 
they also pointed out that I live just outside CKDM's nighttime licensed 
coverage area (because of their null to the south to protect XEX and I live 
straight south of CKDM) . It is a tragedy since this station was always 
popular in this area ever since they started broadcasting and now listeners 
are being denied this. I suspect that most of CKDM's listeners around here 
are now turning to CKLQ 880 which has now become the most popular AM station 
in southwestern Manitoba and has a nice strong signal here.
   Kenneth
