CBA Moncton

[Dan.Strassberg]

Where've you been? As most readers of this list are aware, CBA will be
going dark in the near future. I don't think the exact date has yet
been announced, though; within the last couple of weeks, the CTRC
straightened out a hassle with assigning a new frequency to the FM
that that stood in the way of CBA's move to FM. And while the CBC
always says beforehand that it has figured out where it needs
translators to reach listeners who will no longer be able to hear the
AM signal, my impression is that that is rarely, if ever, the case. So
moves of CBC AMs to FM often seem to wind up with grace periods (AM-FM
simulcasts) longer than the usual 90 days. The extra time, which the
CRTC grants only after the CBC discovers that it has screwed up yet
again, allows for allocating and constructing the several low-power
FMs that are inevitably required.
