Nevertheless...thanks to a now-forgotten treaty...back in 1976, when I was
planning
my move to Canada...I had access to CBL (CBC;s "flagship" station...?!) to
learn more
about my new "homeland"...! Apparently, in current condirtions, it is
assumed that
EVERYBODY can access FM radio...?! so that our "clear channel" of 740KHz can
be
ressigned (I HOPE upon payment...?!) to any/every fundamental orifice who
has a
personal idea (backed by potential income...?!) of what radio should become
in
the 21st century...?! It is admittedly difficult to fall below the handful
of formats
to which we have been forced to hear (say an all Led Zeppelin channel?!)
Nevertheless, there MUST be a better way to use our "clear channel" than any
of the current (CBC or other?!) participants do9...?!
