So stations like CKNX in Wingham and CFOS in Owen Sound could be gone as a result of this. Maybe the rules should be changed so that each company can operate up to three FM stations in a market instead of just two. The limit would still be four stations per market (AM 1 station, FM 3 stations). Righ...

How do you find out about out of town listening? In Sarnia both WGRT and WSAQ from Port Huron have a good number of listeners. WIndsor residents often listen to Detroit radio.

In Sarnia there have always been the regulars from Detroit, Windsor, and London. Locally we had the CBC (106.3 first ; now 90.3), 99.9 FM and 107.1 WSAQ from Port Huron for years. There also 95.1 from Chatham which used to be CKSY and with tropo we heard Cleveland, Toledo, Grand Rapids, Lansing and ...

To answer the HD Radio question I checked all the FM stations from Sarnia and Port Huron on a HD Radio and not one of them is broadcasting in HD.

And both sides of the border will get it. Expect power outages.

As far as the music goes on CHOK it has been like this. 1988 - 1992 : Adult Contemporary or MOR (not sure which one) 1992 - 2007 : Oldies 2007 - 2013 : Country 2013 - 2019 : AC Gold and Classic Hits I can remember hearing quite a bit of Country on CHOK up until 1988. The reason they stopped playing ...

Liberal Minority Government with the Conservatives in a very close second place. The NDP will do better than what some people expected, but will still be in third place.

Q 107, Y 108, and 97-7 HTZ FM are all Rock. If you are far enough East there is also 94.9 FM from Oshawa. For years I though that 97-7 HTZ FM was better than most Rock stations, but perhaps that has changed. For those who are curious here is the dial. FM 88.1 CIND-FM, Indie 88 : similar to an Altern...

One problem with AM HD broadcasts is that they are 500 watts or less. There is one exception though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWFD This one particular station is 100% digital. Based on what I read it sounds like it gets out quite well. The hybrid digital mode is less than impressive on FM and a...

Could channels 2-6 (54-88 MHz) be used for ATSC broadcasts at first?

It was like this : 1983 - WHND (AM) was the only Oldies station in Detroit. WCZY or WABX could have went Oldies but one went Top 40 and the other became Class FM (WCLS). 1984 - WKSG 102.7 became the first FM Oldies station in quite awhile. 1986 - Both 93.9 CKLW-FM and WKSG were FM Oldies stations. 1...

Is there a lot of viewers still using broadcast antenna TV in those areas ?

In both Sarnia and Lambton County there are still many TV antennas around.

On AM it was 1150 CKOC from Hamilton, ON received in Fort McMurray, AB On FM I heard 99.1 KDZR / Z Rock from Denton, Texas in 1993 (E-Skip). I received that one near Brantford, ON. The Toronto 99.1 FM signal was not active back then. On VHF TV I've seen E-Skip from Wyoming and Texas in the 1990's. O...
