I agree with Colin. There are big swaths of the Province that has no CBC (or any radio for that matter) coverage, and 690 is well heard during the dark hours, at least. On top of that, I was very pleased to hear 690 all along the Oregon and WA coasts during a recent holiday. That would all be history if they left. Another option, of course, is 6160 which is also especially well heard in the north, and all day long too. There is talk of this also going off the air if the AM transmitter is shut down. Let's hope not! ..............Walt.
