Default CBW 990 AM good in the am.


The amusing thing is that here in Montreal, when CBC AM (now renamed
"CBC Radio One" moved to FM, there were complaints about reception problems
in some areas, so they took over another frequency for a secondary
transmitter. So much for the vaunted "better coverage" that they moved to
FM in the first place for. Meanwhile, I can get a non-local CBC Radio One
station on yet another frequency.

San Francisco has somewhat better AM ratings and worse FM ratings than
most areas and this is frequently blamed on the hills. A few FM
stations have transmitters near both San Francisco and San Jose.

Of course, Montreal certainly has hills, most notably the hill after
which it;s named.
