CBU 690 in Michigan??

L

Lawppy

During a nocturnal episode early this morning, I tuned my GE Superadio to 690 to hear a poor, but steady signal with acoustic music. The kind you might expect to hear in a coffeehouse setting. I was able to hear very faint English speaking before this mystery station faded back into the two-headed WLW I-BLOC never to return to a decipherable state.

I automatically suspected much-wanted CBU Vancouver. I even went to my FM radio to try for 89.9 in Windsor (also a Radio One affiliate) to see if the programming matched. The FM is so deadband right now that even 100,000 watt CBE was MIA from 100 miles distant, so no luck there! My computer was turned off. I didn't feel like turning it on just to wait for the internet to load up to find the CBC Radio One webstream.

Radio One's program schedule shows what appears to be a non-music show at this same time period (4:45 AM EST-- 1:45 AM PST). Is there a chance that CBC would decide to preempt a scheduled program in favor of a different one? I couldn't ID anything, as the signal was gone for good before I heard any ID'able information!

Tried my other Vancouver targets and heard nothing. 730 was nothing but static and 1130 was WBBR along with KWKH and a Spanish station (probably Atlanta or Nashville)
 
89.9 in Windsor is Radio Two, not Radio One (R1 is on CBEW 97.5, and I think still on CBE 1550 for a little while longer.)

In any event, R1 Windsor usually won't be // to R1 Vancouver, at least not during the CBC's own programming hours, when most programming outside of hourly newscasts is delayed three hours for the Pacific time zone. I'm not sure how they handle delay for the "CBC Radio Overnight" programming that airs from 1-5 AM local time.

Best bet for a parallel if you think you have CBU again would be the webstream at vancouver.cbc.ca, I think.
