CJRT Backup Question
Yesterday I was combing through the ISED database after we got talking about it on another thread last week. I noticed that CJRT-FM-AX1 is listed as being at 143 Alexandra Blvd in Toronto. That would be fine and normal for a backup/auxiliary Tx site, except that it's just a random neighbourhood full of detached homes. No tower or tall buildings in sight.
Anyone know what the situation is with that? I assume it's either an error in the filing, or they plan on erecting some temporary cherry picker if they had to?

Adding strength to what you're saying, here's what Google Maps shows:

Re: CJRT Backup Question
Interesting observation. Judging by this neighborhood it could be the owner of the station's address (just guessing). That's such a jazz type of clientele neighborhood.

Emergency backup studio?
A fair guess, but keystroke error is also possible.
Lytton Sunken Gardens (park) is close by & North Toronto Lawn bowling club.

Re: CJRT Backup Question
Doing some deep Googling I saw that the address was once the house of a lawyer who served on several boards as a corporate director. No sign of directly linking the address to CJRT though.

Perhaps this lawyer was their regulatory representative who was out of his depth on CRTC & ISED filings?

Sounds like someone filled in the wrong address in the wrong space on the wrong document.
