1410 French : CFMB or CJWI, pls ?

[Steve Green NEPA]

Pretty loud atop the frequency for long intervals the other night, 7PM, were two fellows talking in French.

And the station faded out at ID time. Go figure.

It was mixing with WDOV DE and a sports station (maybe Hartford). The one fellow sounded French Canadian and the other European French, although maybe from southern France, not Paris. I don't think it was Haitian. The mix of the other stations made translation difficult. All I culled was that the two talked for nearly an hour with no break I heard.
The station had that 'short wave' or NPR sound to it, notable by some innocuous music bed at the top of the hour (no doubt taken off a CD called 'Greatest Top 20 Anonymous Public Radio Music Pads').

Radio-Locator lists two stations on 1410, both for Montreal! CFMB is listed as 'International Radio' when you open the page for their C/M, while CJWI is 'unknown format'. Both seem to have the same essential nighttime pattern, but from different transmitter sites.

Any assistance w/this ? Do I send up the Fybush Signal,

Fybush is getting tired of the refrain that "Radio-Locator is useless for Canada." Actually beyond useless, since it is a consistent source of outdated misinformation.

CFMB moved to 1280 two decades ago.

The site you want is here: http://topazdesigns.com/ambc/

(At which point you'll find that the current 1410 in Montreal is CJWI, which is not a French-language station. It's Haitian.)

Thanks much, Scott.
Grandparents from both sides of the family spoke French (one European ; one Canadian). Not much was passed down to our FOLKS, though, let alone to me and my sister, let alone Haitian French. Yet, as a DXer I can tell some of the differences.
Sometimes.

So I'm *counting* CJWI, darn it !

And thanks for the Topaz Designs site, Scott.

I use Topaz Designs for all logs nowadays. Radio Locator is useless to me, and has been for years.
