do people know AM still exists?

[Kevin Vahey]

At least WEEI caught a break when CKVL went dark as that station never
went to night pattern and just killed EEI at night.

I don't understand the logic of what Canada is doing as the AM's in
big cities will continue to operate.

Could somebody petition the CRTC to put a new signal on 1070 as was
done in Montreal and Toronto?

I also am amused that Radio-Canada doesn't appear to be vacating 860
in Toronto anytime soon.
