two Montreal AM stations die the same day
Info 690 (French language all news) and AM 940 (earlier English
language all news, but lately a old hits music station) were both shut
down by parent company Corus News this morning at 10 AM EST,
both are currently sending a loop stating that the company was closing
the stations due to poor economic conditions, with operations to
continue on two existing FM outlets.
Final transmitter shutdown is scheduled for 7 PM tonight. These
two stations had been operating since around 1999 on two frequencies
earlier used by the CBC. I don't think these two spots will be taken
over by any Canadian broadcasters anytime soon!
