This is good news! A smart move by PBS to reassure its Southern Ontario connection plus our neighbours will learn a bit about a Canadian broadcasting legend!

CFNY is also fairly well known internationally. It has appeared from time to time as one the world's most popular internet radio stations according to Arbitron. In 2002 the station reached the top 10.

It’s a shame. I grew up listening to this station and its current iteration is unlistenable.
Not even in the top 10 in Toronto. Such a fall.

The film's producer and radio host Alan Cross notes that the PBS deal is for the full 90 minutes of the documentary - and not the edited one hour version seen on TVO earlier this year. So those who saw it earlier may want to watch it again.

I like these two comments at the end of the article:
Trump hates PBS enough already. Airing a doc about a Canadian radio station will blow his mind.
It’s OK, they’ll put a viewing tariff on it eh?
Cool Airchecks and More:

You would have to think that WNED(sorry, BTPM NPR)would promote the HELL out of this documentary.
