Barry, wasn't there a Radio Enfant (CJEU I think) already on in Gatineau on 1670 kHz?
CIRA are the call letters used here in Montreal by a French Catholic religious organization called Radio Ville-Marie. I think this new station on 1350 is their new outlet based on the following info on a Wikipedia page about CIRA "CIRA-5: Ottawa-Gatineau (1350 AM) - received CRTC approval on September 23, 2009 to add an AM transmitter on the frequency 1350 kHz to rebroadcast the programming of CIRA-FM in Montreal.[5] The 1350 AM frequency was a former frequency that was used by CHVR in Pembroke, Ontario, until it moved to FM in 1996."

I have no idea what their programming or schedule will be in the long run, but they currently are running talk and singing (in French) by young kids, with occasional mentions of "Radio Enfant". Also noteworthy is the fact that they are way off frequency, currently on 1350.077, which may help to pick them out on the channel. Power is 1000 W days and 180 W nights, but I'm not sure about their pattern. Who will be first outside the Ottawa-Gatineau area to log this one?
