so where does XWA Montreal fit into it?

[Dan.Strassberg]

This suggests that I am wrong about the 730 Mexican IA channel having
been dropped in by NARBA. 730 must have been assigned to Mexico (with
use permitted by Canadian Class IIs) before NARBA. Very likely, this
is also true of the channels that, with the advent of NARBA, became
900, 1050, and 1220. I should have realized that NARBA could not have
been responsible for the Mexican 730 assignment because I know that
the 740 Canadian IA channel WAS dropped in by NARBA. Since I was a New
Yorker at the time of NARBA, I distinctly remember NARBA moving WJZ
(today's WABC) up 10 kc (from 760 to 770), whereas WMCA, WEAF (today's
WFAN), and WOR did not move and WABC (today's WCBS) moved by 20 kc
(from 860 to 880).

But my conclusion about the role of language politics in the
assignment of AM channels in Montreal still seems reasonable to
me--unless you can point to evidence to the contrary.
