  1. A smart move. The same power of 50k; however, a directional antenna night only at 880 as opposed to a directional antenna night and day at the 630 frequency. Could CKNW be planning a similar move to 730 now that the traffic station has gone?

  2. Sigh, yet another nail in Alberta/Edmonton broadcasting history. A crime what has happened to the former Moffat empire, how long before 630 goes to dead air… bah
