The first five of those are just evolutionary progressions to something much better. The last two are extinctions that are a tragic loss.
 
Two 50,000 watt AM stations in Vancouver, Canada's #3 city, will sign off at the same time. Not even an ethnic or religious buyer apparently wanted 1040 or 1410.

I believe CFRX is funded by the Ontario DX Association
