I doubt tha...I'm rather unhappy about this one too. I doubt that the call sign will be reassigned - unless CTV decides to start a radio station for some obscure reason - simply because of the potential for confusion with the TV station. The same thing happened after CFCF in Montreal was sold away from the TV station. Still the call sign has a truly amazing history as a radio call sign.<BR/><BR/>One of the things I find really frustrating is that there are no <I>good</I> histories of Canadian radio from the beginning until say about 1960. Knowlton Nash's books are great of course but they're focused on the CBC, while books about private broadcasting either attack the private broadcasters or (in a few cases written by shills for the Canadian Association of Broadcasters) are focussed on running down the CBC. There's nothing that tells me what shows were on, what private broadcasters were producing on their own, or even presenting an unbiased view of the politics of private radio in Canada.Brent McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883838112004433045noreply@blogger.com
