The problem with any of these devices is that they have a broad-band amplifier. If you live in TO, it will be hit with all that RF energy from the CN Tower and FCP - yes First Canadian Place. All those FM transmitters add to the total RF the device has to cope with. So will it pick up Buffalo? Sure, if the CNT and FCP + others were off air

New calls for KX 105. The calls are now CKXP.

I think TV Hebdo is still going?

Sure looking forward to seeing this but I will watch it tomorrow night. Why is it starting so late - 9? It’s a 3 hour long show.
Tripping use to start at 7 on a Friday.

Interesting!  The only other ex AM sites I can think that is still standing in the area are CJTN Trenton and CHML. Others?

91.3 at 1.25kW's. When the move takes place, they will close the nested repeater that is at 92.9.

With this decision, this leaves Southwestern Ontario with only 4 AM stations:
CKWW and CKLW Windsor
CFPL London and 
CHOK Sarnia

As long at the 'new liberals' are not just giving them a blank cheque like the previous administration did

What does this mean for TSN 690, 1050 and 1200?

Interesting, and I hope it's true! I like both of my current TVs and have no interest at all in getting another one - or two. 

A sentiment many feel including me. Even though ATSC 1 has problems, it good enough for most and waaaay better than NTSC.

CFLY does not launch until Friday morning [just heard]. All four are just ID'ing as xxx.x FM

I can normally hear traces of them in Peterborough during the day

Voice of America channels fall silent as Trump administration guts agency and cancels contracts.

…………………………….

The Voice of America may not live up to its ambitious name for much longer.

Michael Abramowitz, the director of VOA, said in a Facebook post on Saturday that he was placed on leave, along with “virtually the entire staff” of 1,300. The announcement comes one day after President Trump signed an executive order to gut VOA’s parent agency.

The United States has been funding international news and current affairs coverage intended for global audiences for decades. Both Republican and Democratic leaders have supported the attempts to promote accurate news — and democratic values — in places that are saturated by foreign propaganda.

The agency’s mission statement, codified in law, is to “inform, engage, and connect people around
