I dunno, but KMTT's morning show truly needs a complete overhaul...
Fisher and West are sounding too tired - becoming conceited, provoking and envying each other...
..and Lee Callahan's 'fingernails clawing down on a chalkboard' voice at times
just drives many listeners to outright screeching!

My guess is that since Canada is mostly concerned with interference within its borders, the Tacoma station was not considered a threat. KISM used to put a pretty good signal into the Vancouver area. They must be thrilled!

Pretty much distance. You can get both stations clearly with few problems in Mount Vernon in spite of being .2 MHz apart. Many FM stations there come in that way. In fact, you can sometimes get 2 stations on the same FM frequencies (KMWS/KNWP 90.1, CBUX/KVTI 90.9, CHKG/KXXO 96.1, CKCL/KFNK 104.9, etc.), which makes Mount Vernon a Northwest radio lover's paradise.

I was driving through an area about 5-10 miles north east of Bellingham yesterday and low and behold I heard the new 93.1 from Vancouver coming in loud and clear, but with some bleeding from KISM.I would imagine that KISM is not receivable in downtown Vancouver anymore.

RED FM 93.1

I'm sure it is, you just have to head for the hills. Anywhere in or south of Bellingham, 92.9 absolutely kills it.
But check it out here:

They play mostly Bollywood and Bhangra, sort of a South Asian AC format.

Actually the CRTC has nothing to do with that, it's up to the Department of Communications to decide whether a given frequency can be used at a given power at a given location. Once the Department decides whether a facility is technically acceptable, then the CRTC decides which applicant will make the best use of that facility. It's as if the FCC were split into two agencies, with the engineering folks going one way and the lawyers going another.
Anyway, when considering interference, officially broadcast signals don't cross the border. (of course, we know that from a technical standpoint that's bunk!) If the new Vancouver 93.1 station causes interference to KISM in Canada, the Department doesn't care -- from an official standpoint, KISM cannot be received north of the border. Likewise, if KISM causes interference to CKYE in the U.S., the FCC doesn't care since officially, CKYE cannot be received south of the border.
I'm sure this doesn't make KISM's sales department's jobs any easier though!
