CKWW sounds like hot garbage
CKWW sounds like hot garbage
Horrendous hum and poor modulation currently on 580. CKLW meanwhile is fine.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
The modulation doesn't seem unusual (it's the same mediocre strength it's been for a long time), but I can definitely hear the hum, especially during non-music content.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
I noticed the same. Thought it was my radio or some interference in the house, so I switched radios and relocated. Still a hum.

Same experience regarding a hum.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
As the hum continues, the sound reminds me of my stereo system in the 1970's. If the turntable wasn't grounded, a hum occurred. Perhaps something at CKWW isn't grounded?

How much longer before the format is changed?

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
That high pitched hum is definitely not a ground wire.
I'm not sure what it is, but the CE should be able to pinpoint it (assuming there's still one on the payroll)

Listen online. No buzzing and digital quality.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
I would think they know by now. It's either a major issue or they just don't care since a sale is pending.
Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
Earlier today it was a mix of the hum and dead air. It it was dead air for longer periods I would say Ray has taken over and moving equipment but there's no record to my knowledge of the sale being approved by the CRTC.

Have heard the hum for a few days. This afternoon it is half buried under noise like a very distant station.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
The audio level seems to jump up and down. No hum though. Hopefully it’s it’s fixed and not choked off so The Big 8 doesn’t die an undignified death… again.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
I agree - I like CKWW's playlist that sounds so much like early 70s CKLW, CanCon and all. My go-to station when working in the garage or doing yardwork, grilling, etc.ZenithCKLW wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 7:49 pmThe audio level seems to jump up and down. No hum though.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage
For those who would like the current CKWW to stick around a little longer, this might be a good year. Some interventions were filed in response to the Hamilton stations trying to get into the Toronto radio market. There are twelve documents. The CRTC decision will be made after they are considered. They also are required to release the decisions in both English and French.
