1010: new Canadian clear

WINS of course protects CFRB but the reality is in upstate NY you
seldom get either ( yet even with the lousy night signal WINS beats
WCBS in the ratings )

800: new Canadian clear

CKLW was moved to 800 but it seems like their signal was designed to
allow CJAD Montreal to be born after the war ended.

I would also like to know the story on how CFCF got hosed completly.
They certainly deserved better than the horrible 600 signal they had.
