CKDO

i was reading on the CRTC website that oldies 1350 in oshawa wants to move from 1350 to 1580....they put in an application today...it also mentions that they want to increase their nightime power from 5000 watts to 10,000 watts...am 1350 can be heard really well in scarborough and markham and the beaches...if this goes through, does mean that the station will have better coverage in Toronto?

Um, CKDO would probably dump oldies so far. Cobourg/Peterborough AC station CHUC-AM 1450 started to apply to move to 1450, but they're moving to 107.9 instead to put Peterborough AC Y92 outta business. Y92 went outta business already, and defected to adult hits "Bob."

Where do you get your Garbage from?
Lindsay's AM 910 CKLY moved to FM 92 to become Y92, then CHUM group bought them.
A few years later, they then decided, regardless of who runs what format and where, that BOB FM is a good idea for their current market plan. No one is going "out of business".
In the highly unlikely event that a station goes dark, someone else will perhaps just try another format.

...as you'll see from my post on the Canada board, they have indeed moved to 1580 (on 8/13/06 acc.to
Wikipedia) and I'm picking up their oldies in Mass.

Thank-you AND they're still oldies. If they want to go with another format, I wish them all the best, but so far, they're still oldies.

As far as I know they're staying oldies. I posted this in the Canada thread but I'll post the link here that has info on a DX test they're going to be doing. Scroll down a touch and there it is

I think this may be a lot of fun to listen to. They come in fairly well in Ottawa as we're beyond the sky/groundwave cancellation point (still some fading but eh....no biggie, I don't mind the fading)
