... I had the pleasure of a guided tour of the 740 AM Nfld station you refer to... it's 
CHCM, indeed in Marystown, Nfld.  By day, it is a local country station, at 5pm local 
they switch to the simulcast of VOCM 590 in St. Johns.  In case you wondered, the call 
really IS VOCM.  The "V" in the call has to do with the fact that the station was 
licensed prior to Newfoundland being a part of Canada.  Have any of you out there heard 
either CHCM or VOCM in Boston?  I have very fond memories of my time up there, even some 
coffee cups with the VOCM logo as souveniers with coffee stains!
