CFOK-1370 Westlock AB has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (97.9
MHz, 27 kW, 93.7 meters).
If this trend continues soon AM in Alberta will be limited to the
Edmonton and
Calgary marketsin fact the signal of CFOK in Edmonton is
reasonably good at
present, at least during the day. Coverage of Edmonton will be pretty
well lost
with this conversion.
