CIGM 790 left the airwaves at 0000 EDT with a brief farewell, thanking
its listeners for their support since 1967 and promising that "the
memories will last forever."
The transmitter is still on the air at 0058, with nothing but a tone. So
if you're hearing a mysterious tone on 790...well, that's it.
This is part of an interesting station swap: CIGM owner Rogers couldn't
move the station to FM because it already owned two FMs in Sudbury, the
legal limit. So it traded CIGM to Newcap for CFDR 780 Dartmouth NS,
which Newcap couldn't move to FM because it already had two FMs in the
Halifax market.
CFDR went to FM a few weeks ago, becoming CKLT 92.9 under Rogers. The
new Newcap-owned CIGM-FM 93.5 is on the air testing and will make its
official debut soon.
