Was picking up a Canadian talk station on 990 kHz at about 9:30pm EST in Vermilion, OH. R/L shows a 990 in Montreal with a sports format. Anyone know what other 990s in Canada would be talk or maybe CBC/Public Radio in Ontario? Didn't hear it long enough to ID it.

Canadian Talk/Public Radio Station on 990 kHz??
- Thread starter Buckeyes2001
- Start date
No doubt CBW which does make it into Ohio
The other 990 (aside from Winnipeg and Montreal) is CBY Corner Brook.
I used to hear the Montreal 990 when they were top 40 in the late 80s from Ft. Wayne
CBW is a frequent visitor here in eastern Ontario, at times topping out over (the much closer) CIGM. CBY has made the occasional visit and could possibly slip into Ohio, but with the 2 hour time zone difference, it should be easy enough to separate the two, using the streams on the CBC site.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like it was CBW indeed. I'll have to check this one out more.

Saturday morning (Jan 21) I was scouting around the AM band and for my first time I came across 990 CBW (been trying for a long while). I listened for a half-hour, 7:00 to 7:30 am...faded in and out most of the time but it was my first catch of that station! I was listening on my Tecsun PL-390.

When I was growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 70's, CBW was a regular late at night, my most reliable Canadian signal. I would have to null out the Wichita Falls station, IIRC.
