CBF, RIP

[fybush@world.std.com (Scott D Fybush)]

C'est fin.

Sometime tonight (Thursday night into Friday), Radio-Canada turned
off Premiere Chaine programming on the Montreal 690 transmitter.

There's a repeating 30-second loop on now, which roughly translates as:

"The programming of CBF will no longer be transmitted on frequency
690 AM.  Please tune now to the FM band, in Montreal and the
Monteregie at 95.1 FM, in Trois-Rivieres, the Mauricie, and Central 
Quebec at 88.1 FM, in Sherbrooke and the Estrie at 101.1 FM.  
If you have difficulty hearing it, call 514-597-6000 or 1-877-526-2493."

More info, if you speak French, at www.radio-canada.ca

We'll see how long the loop keeps running.  

March 31 is the target shut-off date for CBM.

Au revoir, CBF!
