Canadian Stations Keep Old
Places on Dial in New Setup

Ottawa, Can., Nov. 10 - (AP) - Radio listeners in the United States will find their favorite Canadian broadcasting stations on the same wavelengths when tho new allocation goes into effect in the United States.
By arrangement with the Canadian radio authorities, six channels are set aside for use by stations in the dominion and broadcasters in this country will not be allowed to use these frequencies. They are 690, 730, 840, 910, 960 and 1,030 kilocycles.
Stations which will use 690 kilocycles are CFAC, Calgary; CFCN, Calgary; CJCH, Calgary; CKCO, Ottawa; CNRO, Ottawa. Stations on 730 kilocycles are CFCF, Montreal; CHYC, Montreal; CKAC, Montreal; CKCD, Vancouver; CKFC, Vancouver: CKMO, Vancouver; CKWX, Vancouver. Stations on 840 kilocycles are CFCA, Toronto; CISC, Toronto; CKLC, Red Deer, Alberta; CNKT, Toronto.

The Canadian National Railways has about a dozen studios which use other stations for transmission of their programs.
In addition to the six exclusive channels, Canadian stations share 12 other channels with stations in the United States. The frequencies are 550, 600, 630, 750, 880, 890, 930, 1,010, 1,120, 1200 and 1210 kilocycles.
In order to prevent interference with the programmes of the Canadian stations the Federal Radio Commission has restricted the power of U.S. stations on these channels which are within 300 miles of the border to 250 watts.

Listeners' Reaction to be Test
of Nov. 11 Wavelength Changes
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE,
(Associated Press Feature Writer.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 ? (AP) - Carrying the engineers' stamp of approval and both praise and condemnation from affected broadcasters, the new setup of radio stations goes into effect Nov. 11, with the verdict up to the millions of American listeners.
Nearly all of the 615 stations in the United States will be on new wave-lengths necessitating the making of new dial markings, an inconvenience which the radio commission says will be amply compensated by the greatly improved reception. The reaction of the public, however, will be the real test of the allocation, the commission says.
The engineers predict that heterodyne interference will be eliminated except on the nine limited service channels and the six local service channels. If such interference should develop on any of the 75 ?heterodyne-free? channels the commission can remove it by reducing a station's power or eliminating one or more stations, says Dr. J. H. Dellinger, chief engineer of the commission.
Stations associated with the networks will continue for some time to broadcast chain programs without restriction. The order of the commission limiting the broadcasting of identical chain programs does not become effective until Jan. 31, and may be modified. This order has brought widespread protest from both station owners and listeners.
The new allocation will go into effect at a time when interest in broadcasting has attained its greatest height.. Radio, which aroused extraordinary interest in the presidential campaign, was in turn stimulated by the battle for ballots via the microphone which brought thousands of recruits to the army of listeners.

The timing of this post couldn't have been better. I was checking the radio station references in a book that came out a few years back "The Hotel Georgia - A Vancouver Tradition" by Sean Rossiter. There was a few mentions of CKWX's studios in the penthouse and a mention somewhere about them being on 730. I knew CKMO had been on 730 at one time, but wasn't aware of WX . Until reading your post, I thought it was a typo in the book.
