CKNW 730

Post by stuffradio »

CKNW is switching from 980 and moving over to 730. It sounds like 980 will cease to exist.

I figured they would move to that frequency Houndpaws much less interference on that frequency.
980 is such an iconic frequency growing up. The times sure have changed for the worse over the years. But it doesn't matter living in Chilliwack l just stream everything radio reception sucks in the central valley. Long gone are the days of 1 local AM home town station like CHWK Chilliwack that carried the Lions and Canucks games.
The 7th annual snowfall contest is canceled due to no snow this winter.

I used to listen to Canucks games back in the 1990s in CKNW 98. I could pick up the sign at night in the Chilcotin. Of course, I could also pick stations from California even better for some odd reason. Art Bell and the Kingdom of Nye or whatever his show was called. Dreamland or Coast to Coast AM. RIP ART Bell.

I would also sometimes listen to the late night sports segments on 980.

Art Bell Coast to Coast Glace now it's George Noory it's still good but the same callers night after night but the guests he has on are awesome usually.
