CKTB Heading To HD From Hamilton's CKLH
In addition to putting the now online-only signal of CJYE on HD, longtime St. Catharines yakker CKTB will join it.
The signal will be piggybacked on 102.9 FM, aka CKLH, The Legend. CJYE should appear there by June 1st.
CKTB joins it digitially on July 2nd.
I couldn't really care less about CJYE, but CKTB is a great addition to the HD dial, presuming it comes in here in the GTA, which it should. If not, it will remain on 610 as well.
And what of the other Whiteoaks station, CJMR, which also opted for online only? Its fate is expected to be revealed soon.

CKLH comes in great through much of the GTA, especially since they made upgrades last week. The HD will have less power than the analog signal, but it should be reliable in cars.

For me, signal strength where I am in Toronto seems about the same. Haven't detected the HD sidebands yet. CKLH HD will need to protect adjacent East FM in Scarborough and to a lesser extent, CFMX. With that, I can't see them being able to send much power towards the east. The HD signal may need to be fed to a separate, directional antenna.

I heard the HD signal at 3 this morning, with all three sources (CKLH, CKTB, CJYE) online.

Yes, it's there now. I heard the HD "hash" this morning over East FM. East no longer has a useable signal where I am. I tried CKLH on an HD table radio (Sangean HDR-18 with whip antenna) and it's marginal - it barely locks. I was able to see the 3 HD programmes on the display. HD2 has nothing and HD3 has JOY.
