If CBC Sold 89.9 FM

Post by Deleted User 14803 » Wed Nov 14, 2018 2:57 pm

A few years there was the possibility that CBC was in a bad financial situation and word had it that they would be considering selling CBC Radio 2 if that were to happen today what kind of station would work on that frequency or who that is existing would go to the 89.9 spot on the dial?

The Canadian Government mandates for both CBC TV and Radio how much of the content must be Canadian sourced programs.

It would only make sense if a private entity were to be allowed to emulate the RKO General CKLW Era, and the Canadian Government would not let that happen. I sat over there in the basement in Novi, and all the old CKLW people were saying that was the only way that the unregulated, unmitigated success of CKLW could happen with CIMX or CIDR again.

I'd buy it and make it 24 hours of Gregorian chants.

Sundays would feature the best of Croatian polka.
