Should be interesting to see if this one is approved. The Common Ownership policy reared its head in the recent application by Golden West to flip CKMW 1570 in Winkler to FM. Steinbach is a lot closer to Winnipeg (where Golden West already has 2 FM's) than Winkler. Golden West did put up a good argument stating that an FM Country station in North Dakota had stolen a large chunk of CKMW's listeners over time and that it was time to repatriate these folks back to Canadian radio. The application was approved.
