    Is CBC Radio Back On In Kitchener-Waterloo?

    Just noticed this warning from Saturday morning. I presume they've fixed it by now, but I can't help but wonder what the cause was. These kind of blackouts rarely happen.

    I don't know when it came on but CBC radio is back on the air in K/W.

    Just out of curiosity, can you get 99.1 from Toronto in Kitchener?

    So then I'm guessing the outage wasn't that big a deal.

    For me (Belmont Village area) it's nothing but static, even when outside with an MP3/FM player.

    99.1 is transmitting from First Canadian Place not CN Tower so range is less.AM 740 Zoomer the old CBC signal  covers KW just fine.

    In the car yes, not as good generally in the house off air.  Depends on the atmosphere.

    CKWR 98.5 in Kitchener has been having issues this weekend too.
    An annoying buzz on their signal which they have been advising is an issue with their Bell line to the transmitter.  (Their online feed is fine.)
    Wonder if Bell is having issues in the KW area.
