When they were CKLG back in the 50s-60s they used to send a good signal into Sacramento and had a nice rock format. When I moved to S.F. in 1973 the signal kept getting worse & worse (thanks in part to KCBS-740)...Now, if I can get them in decently enough I check the traffic in Vancouver just out of nostalgia.. Altho I admit I prefer rock to traffic accidents.
