If that's the case, we may be end up with Hindi or Chinese programming on 690. All of the Vancouver stations have lots of power, but I'm not sure which ones have pattern challenges. I would think one of theVancouver's ethnic stations (1200 1320 1470) would be potential suitors for 690, but I'll defer to one of my friends to the north
There are a couple of AM stations on the US side of the border that broadcast South Asian programming to Vancouver. Perhaps one of them might try to maneuver its way across the 49th parallel? I can think of at least one possible precedent from the late 60s or early 70s (?) where a TV station licensed to Pembina ND relicensed to Winnipeg, in order to be closer to its target audience.
