CFOS 89.3 testing, I think the date to go live is Aug 1
Think that's what I heard. Weak and mixing with Peterborough. Noted while checking for skip late tonight (there were brief surges into FM but nothing identified).

How long until they have to shut down the AM?

I think it's normally 3 months, if all goes to plan. I think I heard Aug 1. But for all I know it's the first of another month.

They don’t have to leave it on for the amount of time they’ve been given, but in this case they probably should. There are radios rusted on to 560 around there.

Probably one of those models that had only two knobs. CFOS and OFF. My parents had a similar type of radio in the 60's. Its two knobs were CFRB and OFF.

Once retired, my father would frequent the garage and yard sales looking for cheap table radios, the type where you could look through the back and see the tubes glowing. I think he wanted a radio in every room. Many had a pitifully small tuning knob, and he would take a sharp pencil and mark on the knob the stations he favoured.
Brash teenager me: "Why is that radio humming?"
Father: "AC interference. It's old, and it was cheap."
Brash teenager me: "No, it doesn't know the words."

That's so true. I don't believe my mother ever touched the tuning knob on her radio.

August 1 is just the promo buttons being ready. They're hedging their bets on the actual airdate. 😁😉

No longer the "The Oldies You Want, The Info You Need" tag line.
I wonder if they keep the existing format?
