I find it interesting that Ottawa is considered a Medium Market.

Berman has always done that during the Monday Night game.

I love my internet radios.  My main one is a Mondo plus, hooked hp to my Bose stereo and my battery operated one is in my bedroom.  
I had a Sanyo, but it passed on after 14 years.

People impersonating Rogers reps have been phoning me for a year asking me to switch providers.  When I ask specific questions regarding channels, they have no idea about their product.  Scamming is everywhere.

Does anyone remember when some Leafs games were NOT televised.

I was at Olympic Stadium when Rose got his 4,000th hit.  He was playing for the Expos.   You can probably find it on YouTube.

In all of the independent surveys I see, the Jays tv play-by-play crew always rate higher than the YES crew.

That is truly in interesting fact.  RadioActive, your attention to detail is exemplary.

There was a network set up in the early 60's for Sunday night Leaf games.  CFRA Ottawa was in the network for awhile.

The original US channels in Ottawa were WPTZ Plattsburgh (NBC) , WWNY Watertown (all three networks at that time,but mostly CBS), and I believe the west end may have had a Syracuse channel.
WPTZ was unwatchable most of the time.  WWNY had a sales office in Ottawa that did quite well, especially with Sunday afternoon hockey.  In the mid 70s WPBS was added from the Norwood, NY transmitter and WUTR, Utica was also added from a rebroadcaster in Northern NY, perhaps Massens.  It was an ABC affiliate.
They were later replaced by three Rochester channels that were brought in by microwave,  When FOX got the NFC rights there was a FOX channel available but I can't remember if it was from Rochester or Buffalo.  They were later replaced by Detroit, however WPBS Watertown is still the primary PBS station.  During pledge drives they have a graphic that says Canadian funds at par.
Years ago I heard that 60 per cent of their funds came from Canada with 40 per cent of that number from Ottawa.
 

W-C-B-S is the station I listen to every night before going to sleep.  It is was happening in the world W-C-B-S
had it.
I can't get WINS as C-F-R-B is the same frequency.  I may switch to W-B-Z.

C-B-C Morning in Ottawa has been replaced by Metro Morning out of Toronto.

Yes, mace that is correct.  It happens when the Lions are playing as we get the Detroit channels.  However, the announcers always warn viewers of the N-F-L rule before switching the game,

Remember it was over a year ago that Rogers handed the licence for 1310CityNews back to the Commission.
Now, the only big players in Ottawa for information are C-F-R-A and C-B-C.
Yes, Ottawa is very underserved when it comes to English-language news.
The C-R-T-C is to blame for allowing Global and City to establish just transmitters.  C-H-C-H has a low power transmitter in Ottawa.
As I have mentioned, there are many Sundays when there is no early news show.
Pretty dismal for a market this size, and the capital of Canada.

Unfortunately for myself, there are no more old radio shows scheduled.  I liked to listen to them while doing other work.  I phoned CHIN today and was told that programming is no more and would not be moving to another of their frequencies.
So, goodbye to Sgt. Preston, Miss Brooks, Joe Friday, Matt Dillon, Johnny Dollar, and Jack Benny among others.
