AM station going away (Canada)
CKSB moving to FM.
CKSB-1050 has been granted permission to move to 88.1 FM. Technically, the "city of license" will change from St. Boniface to Winnipeg, although St. Boniface has been a ward of Winnipeg since 1971.
FM relay station CKSB-10-FM on 90.5 will also be deleted. Its coverage area will be completely enclosed by that of the new 88.1 station.
