| SOWNY » CKTB Heading To HD From Hamilton's CKLH » June 2, 2026 3:42 pm |
Eastern North York (Don Mills) CKLH all 3 HD's first time just now but not stable.
(CING 95.3 is HD is consistent, but power is higher
CHKX 94.7 HD's are sometimes yes and sometimes no)
CIDC 103.5 HD is always there).
Sangean HDR 16 portable.

Very similar to WNED 94.5 in which the Classical programming will soon move to 88.7 and not be receivable because of CIRV HD's on 88.9.
WNED was getting iffy due to CHKX 94.7 HD but when I asked WNED about a booster in Youngstown they were not that interested.
Oh well ...to on-line we go.

CFBK Huntsville and CBC repeater in Whitney are just listenable.
Yes there is minimal cell service but.......

Unfortunate.
Classical music on 94.5 was getting unlistenable but 88.7 won't be heard in Toronto at all.
| SOWNY » Another Huge U.S. Clear Channel Station Moving To FM » January 14, 2026 5:38 pm |
WBT 1110 Charlotte NC had a loop with (stale) music last night redirecting to 107.9.
wbt.com lists only 107.9

Clear ID for WJAS 1320 Pittsburgh and into Fox News
1250 has conservative talk ?WPGP “The Answer”

Repeating message on both CJMR and CJYE saying they are leaving AM and will be providing the same programmes digitally.
Will the frequencies go dark?
| SOWNY » Christmas is over HD gone » January 11, 2026 3:41 pm |
CKFM 99.9 HD4 back to “Pure Country” and CHUM 104.5 HD2 is gone. No more i-Heart Christmas
| SOWNY » World Radio Map Lists All T.O.& Buffalo AM/FM/HD Stns. & Tx. Locations » March 5, 2025 1:11 pm |
Indeed the transmitter locations (and pictures!) are nifty.
Still not fully up to date:
-Yes shows CHFI HD2
but
CIND 88.1 now has only HD1
CIDC 103.5 has only HD1
CFMS 105.9 has an HD4
CHAM 820 is not on the list but CKOC is
CHIN AM 1540 transmitter is now with CHLO in Hornby instead of the Islands.
Very interesting is VFU545, a CHIM repeater on 101.7 located at "Lansdowne and Bloor" Anyone heard this? WLOF Catholic radio near Buffalo sometimes reaches North York. CHIM FM: Canada's Good News Network lists a translator in Hamilton on 104.9 but nothing in Toronto.

The HD2 signal is lousy! Sounds like its in a tin can with echoing!
HD1 (Classical) much better.
I brought this to their attention (complained) before but then got no responses.

Makes sense to not do HD-2 or 3 or 4 if it costs that much and few people are listening.
How come Z103.5 has only an HD-1? Nice tower up in the Caledon Hills...That tower and escarpment view almost has if not better than CN Tower coverage.
In terms of land area, yes. In terms of population covered, no. They went HD to improve reception in Toronto.
True for Z-103.5 improving downtown reception, but could Evanov's other programming not be on HD? "Lite 88.5" maybe??.

Will the 3 CING HD’s get to Toronto as well after the move??
| SOWNY » CFXJ 93.5 HD2 “Pure Country” gone » October 2, 2023 10:07 pm |
Stingray’s “Pure Country” no longer on 93.5’s HD2. Wasn’t aligned with feed from any Stingray “Pure Country” stations…
Oh well.
| SOWNY » CFXJ 93.5 HD2 “Toronto’s New Country” » August 10, 2023 7:37 pm |
Update by e-mail that nothing's going to happen:"We are testing the HD technology and using our company’s New Country format to do so, since isn’t something available elsewhere in Toronto. At this point we have no plans beyond testing this technology on a temporary basis. And there are no plans to change what we’re offering on Today Radio. Sorry for the delay in my reply. I hope this speaks to any concerns you may have. Crosby McWilliam Program Director
| SOWNY » CFXJ 93.5 HD2 “Toronto’s New Country” » August 10, 2023 3:44 pm |
93.5 HD2 still "New Country" ID and music.
E-mailed asking if Country was moving to the main 93.5 and "Paul Harper-Morning Show Host" replied:
"Exactly- I hope you like what you hear."
| SOWNY » CFXJ 93.5 HD2 “Toronto’s New Country” » August 7, 2023 6:07 pm |
Monday afternoon. Sounding good, one song after another.
To what might this be leading?
| SOWNY » AM 740 Goes HD » July 10, 2023 12:02 pm |
HD2 sound quality (Zoomer Radio) not nearly as good as the HD1 (Classical).
HD2 like inside a rattling tin can ...Is that the best that can be from the original source?
| SOWNY » What Happens To AM Radio If Daylight Saving Time Becomes Permanent? » March 13, 2023 10:03 pm |
Two day-timers in Buffalo 1120 and 1080 but both feed translators so when they get on air is of no consequence.
Sunrise will be nearly 9 so that would impact those with day/night patterns like 680 1010 or 1050 or..
| SOWNY » What Is DX-ing Like In Hawaii? » March 10, 2023 1:44 pm |
I'm a yearly visitor to Hilton Head SC and 740 and 860 are sometimes audible but usually part of a big messy mix. Cuban stations fill up many NA Clear Channels.
Link from "turkey top" is indeed night. From a fascinating web site.
| SOWNY » Another Big Change In B.C. - Station Leaves FM For HD Only » January 13, 2023 1:09 pm |
Durham's CJKX (95.9) and CHKX (94.7) have unique programing on HD2 and HD3. HD2 (relay CIWV Vancouver) and HD3 (Oldies CKDO or CHTG) which are not listenable on regular Toronto FM...
....Are there any listeners? Do they show up in ratings?
| SOWNY » CFXJ 93.5 HD2?????? » October 5, 2022 5:37 pm |
93.5 HD 2 still there 5:30 pm Weds. Sounds similar to Stingray Classical on Rogers but not same pieces.
| SOWNY » CFXJ 93.5 HD2?????? » October 4, 2022 10:11 pm |
What’s on 93.5 HD2??? Classical, have not heard an announcer. Not // 96.3
| SOWNY » HD Radio Slowly Gains Ground In Canada » June 29, 2022 8:43 pm |
Why is Evanov's 103.5 not using HD-2 for Proud FM and maybe HD-3 for CHLO or CKDX (88.5)? (CKFM has 4 HD signals...)
Where did CJKX's (95.9) HD-3 go that used to have CKDO (1580?)
CIND (88.1)'s HD-3 is gone (North X Northeast)
Many 2nd/3rd language broadcasts on 88.9 101.3 and 105.9 that add to choices.
Sangean HDR-16 portable radio gives a good rich sound for Ici Musique (90.3), CBC-2 (HD-2 on 99.1) and CFMZ (96.3)
| SOWNY » More HD Radio in Toronto. » June 8, 2022 9:29 pm |
CBC 99.1 HD2 now with CBC Music (10 sec delay?)
CIND 88.1 HD3 now with "North by North East" (NXNE) very alternative music...
