Not for QSL. Was hoping for amazing reception. I've had a number of surprises over the years as darkness progresses across the continent. I had CFRB in much earlier. WPMG, then WINS. Hearing 2 news items near the top of the hour about Calgary made me wonder. That's why I was asking. 73,

Also -- not quite -- there are production houses for content at the CBC - a solid majority of news that is broadcast in house originates from CBC studios - but there are lots of exceptions - and there is a lot of "public-private partnerships" in industry that produce news and documentary content.

True. Mother Corp does NOT run any non-originating "newscasts". They used to carry BBC World Service news (radio) decades ago once a day. CBC Overnight stuff is simply shared feature programming, what used to be called transcriptions in days before satellite feeds. Anything mentioning The
