The remaining curtain antenna faithfully broadcasting the CBC North Quebec relay<\/p><\/div>\n

I just received confirmation that the Sackville, NB transmission site of Radio Canada International will continue broadcasting the CBC North Quebec service on 9,625 kHz until all of the FM relays in North Quebec have been tested and placed into service.<\/p>\n

To be clear, contrary to the implication of the recent\u00a0CRTC ruling<\/a>, the Sackville site may continue broadcasting for a few more days or weeks, depending on progress with the FM relays’ implementation.<\/p>\n

The remaining staff at Sackville have converted the site to run two transmitters and two antennas (for redundancy) for the North Quebec Service on 9,625 kHz via remote operation. Nothing else is being broadcast our of the Sackville site.<\/p>\n

Have you singed our petition to save Sackville from being dismantled<\/a>? Now would be the perfect time:<\/em><\/p>\n
