According to this article<\/a> (see clipping below) the CRTC “mistakenly” listed the end date<\/a> of RCI Sackville’s (call sign CKCX-SW) shortwave service to North Quebec as November 1, 2012. The CRTC has now amended the decision with an end date of December 1st, 2012.<\/p>\n

[T]he official revocation of the license of the CBC’s shortwave CKCX-SW\/SACKVILLE, NB has been amended to DECEMBER 1st.\u00a0 In an initial ruling on the requested revocation, the CRTC mistakenly listed the end date as NOVEMBER 1st.\u00a0 The station is being shut down because of the grant of low-power repeaters for CBC RADIO ONE station CFFB\/IQUALUIT, NUNAVUT at PURVIRNITUQ, KUUJJUARAPIK, INUKJUAK, SALLUIT, and KUUJJUAQ, NUNAVIT, all on 103.5 FM with 50 watts each.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
