CKOC audio has been bad for two days
Audio on the web sounds fine, but over the air it's terrible.

Re: CKOC audio has been bad for two days
It's been bad since music returned. Over compressed (as in some of the soft passages are actually louder than loud ones), there is no bass definition or sense of "punch". That should have been fixed within days. When CKOC was in its heyday, the overall soundd was pretty good as far as AM goes. And believe me, there were record scratches, cue burn and surface noise you could drive a truck through ... and it STILL sounded better.
Cheers,

I imagine CKOC's audio processor from the 60's and 70's is probably long gone. What's there now might have been optimized for voice, since they were a talk station under Bell's ownership.

Fixing the audio issues is one thing. It looks like they're also having trouble keeping some radio people.
The morning show is still in place, but where is Scott Penfold? (Afternoon drive)

This optimization of operation for talk radio could be true.
I listened in the car this afternoon and it wasn't very fulsome sounding by many means.
