This must happen on a regular basis, but the mike was on for this one.

It looks like the work is in progress.

I'd guess that any big changes to the radio stations will be made sometime in April.

In Ontario, clouds blowing in from Lake Erie could ruin it. A worst-case scenario would be to have a major low come into the southern Great Lakes region that day.

I'm thinking of going to Fort Erie, ON. It's right across the river from Buffalo.

The latest Bell Media cuts are all over the news in Canada. There are going to be 4,800 layoffs. I also found a link from last year. In the past eight months there have been a total of 6100 layoffs from Bell Media (including the latest ones), and nine radio stations went off the air altogether. http...

The HTZ-FM online stream could use some help when it comes to sound quality. A Hamilton Spectator article says that some name changes to some of the radio stations are coming, but the formats will remain for now. https://www.thespec.com/news/bell-media-cuts-mean-ownership-change-looms-at-hamiltons-b...

"Not a viable business anymore" At least not to them. Too bad the London and Windsor radio stations are being held onto. That headline got my hopes up. https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/business/not-a-viable-business-anymore-bell-media-selling-45-radio-stations-amid-layoffs/article_41d0268e-b07f-5...

92.5 WVKS and 93.5 WRQN from Toledo are clear tonight. I have the HD signal from WIOT coming in and WIOT-HD-2 is a Sports station known as "The Gambler". The same broadcast is on 1230 AM in Toledo which is WCWA. I'm also hearing 89.7 WNOC from Bowling Green which is just 5300 watts. Equipment: Sange...

It all comes down to the company behind the radio station. I HEART does some formats right including Talk, A.C. ,CHR, Urban, and even Sports sometimes. Rock is not one of there strengths. Even winners like Beasley have what I would call a corporate playlist on WCSX, but it’s working out for them.

When CHKS-FM became Cool 106.3 I found it to be a little bit better than the final years of K 106.3. From the 1999 sign on up until about the mid 2010s, K 106.3 was at its best. I also like the music on 98.1 CKLO from London a little bit better than what is on 95.1/100.7 and 106.3 right now. I don't...

It might be Oldies at first, but I can see him gradually phasing in Ethnic Programming as time goes by. The Southern Ontario board has been discussing the future of the radio stations.

The meeting is in nine days. The deadline for comments and interventions was December 18 2023.

Under Bell Media's ownership both CKWW and CKLW are inferior in terms of signal strength than what they used to be. CKLW is now about even with WJR on a signal strength meter where I live. Their directional pattern was good at sending a higher power my way compared to the non-directional signal from...

Right now, it says that the resolution on 50.5 is 1080i, making WKBD the second television station in the market to have dual 1080i's after Detroit Public TV (56). If something is going to be upgraded, I would expect it to be Comet. Although Nosey might be added somewhere, why broadcast it in HD?

You're right. I always thought that two 1080i's wouldn't work over ATSC 1.0

My TV set indicates that channel 50.5 is also in 1080i. Right now, there is a test pattern that reads CBS TV DETROIT on it.
