AM station gone

Ebensburg, Pennsylvania: 1580KHz:
WRDD license cancelled.

AM station going away (Canada)

St. Boniface/Winnipeg, Manitoba; 1050KHz:
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.

AM station deleted

Vancleve, Kentucky: 730KHz:
WMTC license cancelled at request of licensee.

AM call changes

Just a few this time:

Robertsdale, Alabama   1000 WDXZ  from WBZR
Eminence, Kentucky     1600 WLRS  from WLUE
Greenfield, Wisconsin  1290 WZTI  from WMCS

Next car: no radio?

"AM and FM are being eliminated from the dash of two car companies within two years and will be eliminated from the dash of all cars within five years." Hmmm.

CKGM-690 Montreal: to either remain English or go silent...

The silent 690 frequency in Montreal was recently resurrected with English-language sports talk. The station's owners had applied to sell 690 & convert it to French -- an application which was denied. They've now filed for a different set of changes. The station will remain English, but only if a waiver is granted permitting ownership of two Montreal English AM stations (690 and CJAD-800) along with two English FMs. Ordinarily, they would only be allowed one English AM station. According to Scott Fybush's site, if the waiver is denied, 690 will be taken off the air. (again) (making it the third time this 50,000-watt frequency has gone silent...)
