Why not pile in and tell the CRTC (copy to CBC) to stop the
phase out of 690 kHz

What can the CRTC do to prevent a licensee saying, "I do not want that
license any more?" The CBC is one of many broadcasters in Canada who have
changed from AM to FM in Canada in the last decade. The CRTC seems to be
encouraging, by policy and practice, the cleansing of the AM band whereby
eventually the only AMs will be in large markets where a broader range of
programming is perceived to be needed. About 40% of Canadian AMs are now
gone, and more applications and grants for moves to FM come through each
week.

Like many other nations, ranging from Austria to South Africa to Ecuador, AM
station counts in Canada are being minimized.
