from my understanding there is 2 AM HD radio stations in Canada. CHLO for many years, and last year one in Quebec came online!

how will local radio respond? all my generators are topped up, UPS units all relatively new. 
so on the engineering front? some blankets and a cup of tea! ( oh god i hope)

i tried to respond last night but i guess you cant respond on mobile? anyway i checked at 11:10pm and they are very much on air and at that moment playing country interestingly 

tip toe around the CRTC? have you read a technical brief, or a reply to a CRTC response! plenty of engineers, legal council and well versed station managers have subtlety discovered 101 ways to tell the CRTC to GFYS and  every time i read one it makes me smile! 

great! ill just deploy my collection of vintage FM exciters that's taking up storage space lol! 

if there is one thing that drives me crazy, its trying to get onto the roof tops of some of these buildings downtown, it is harder to get clearance from their internal management, then it is for the CN tower, 

so deploying a vast network of little synced FMs is not a exciting prospect for this guy.

maybe if you only look after 1 FM you might have the time?

anyway besides that i don't think "this is it" "the regulation to save radio" that US broadcasters keep asking the FCC for! and as for the CRTC... last i checked they were still "out of the office" 

MERRY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!

damn my mom had so much cityline stuff i just tossed out a bunch of books! i do have some episodes on VHS tho

btw, defund is not close shop!
cbc seems to be beloved across the nation i am sure they can drum up ad revenue like the rest of us... worst case they can follow the PBS model!

once we cut them loose, if they fail its on them, and if they site that "operating TV and Radio in the modern era is not sustainable" then we should all in unison turn and look at the CRTC

who would also apparently be on the chopping block

i was giving 1150 a listen and its all my kind of music, but why would i listen to it on AM when i got 107.1 and 91.7 for all my classic rock? in my opinion as one under 30, the only way AM works today, is for talk and news... and sometimes sports! 

at the very least you can always find the sold off overstock of radio shack components in various mom & pop electronics shops around!

The National Archives of Canada has an extensive collection of broadcast material dating back to the 1920s, including some sound material from the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Corporation, which was the forerunner of the CBC.
 

My question is when we have the national archives, why is the broadcasting museum keeping antique records on file. Maybe it’s because I’m a gear head but I would expect to see room full of massive AM and TV transmitters and vintage CBC branded pocket radios, reel to reels, old mixers and maybe a early mobile broadcast van! 

Like what ever happened to the CBC shortwave transmitter, that sort of thing should be on display, or first FM transmitter placed on the CN tower!

Even the old combiner that I’m sure they will start to tear up is a contender for a monumental part of Canadian broadcasting history!

Like when I go to the aerospace museum, I wanna see the planes, not the flight logs… unless they are posted in front  of said plane!

looking at their plan options, it would be nice if they had a cheap plan like all access app only but instead car only, I never used it online or the app, and i have no desire.

would be even nicer if i can build my own plan, pick 50 or 30 stations, car only, for like a Toonie a month. I might consider returning then
