Now host of "The World at Six" on CBC radio 1 and 2, half hour of news. Rebroadcast on RCI. You can try MW 540 from Watrous (transmitter, produced in Regina), Saskatchewan. CBC used to call Radio 1 "AM" and Radio 2 "FM". Then they started switching the AM to FM, and renamed them 1 and 2. 540 likely won't switch any time soon.

What is called "Radio One" now was simply called CBC Radio, and what is now called "Radio Two" was CBC Stereo, going back to at least the early 1970's (as far back as I remember). All CBC Stereo stations were on FM, for obvious reasons, but CBC Radio was on AM in some place and FM in others (for example, CBC One in the Nation's Capital, Ottawa, has been on FM for decades). CBC Radio was and Radio One continues to be the normal, everyday CBC, mostly news and talk-type shows (high quality though, not like talk radio at all). CBC Stereo was and Radio Two continues to be more music, mostly classical, but with other musical programs as well, at various times. Radio Canada International rebroadcasts many of CBC Radio One's programs. Pete Pete |
