CBC programs

[justin@harry.CRIM.CA (Justin Bur)]

Here is some more information to supplement what Michael Hui
and others have already posted about Jane Siberry and Kate
Bush being featured on CBC programs this weekend.

Information is from _Radio Guide_, the CBC Radio and Stereo
monthly program guide available in Canadian magazine stores.
Note that the 4:08 time for Swinging on a Star is not for
Toronto as Michael posted, but for the Radio rather than the
Stereo network (see below).

Saturday 11 November
11:05 am (11:35 Newfoundland), CBC Stereo
4:08 pm (5:08 Atlantic, 5:38 Newfoundland), CBC Radio
    Swinging on a Star (host: Murray McLauchlan)
    features Jane Siberry and Eric Bogle (from Australia)

Sunday 12 November
2:25 pm (2:55 Newfoundland), CBC Stereo
    The Entertainers (host: Karen Gordon)
    features Billy Bragg in concert
    Kate Bush announced (though not in Radio Guide);
    probably on the `International Disc' segment towards
    the end of the show (it lasts till 5).

CBC Radio is the original CBC radio network, on AM in many
cities and mono FM everywhere else.  I don't feel like typing
in the list of frequencies: there are close to 100, not including
low power relay transmitters.

CBC Stereo is the FM stereo service, the one with Brave New Waves
all night long and mostly classical music and jazz the rest of
the day.  Here is the list of transmitters from Radio Guide:

    St John's, Newfoundland	106.9
    Sydney, Nova Scotia		105.1
    Halifax, Nova Scotia	102.7
    Middleton, Nova Scotia	 93.3
    Moncton, New Brunswick	 95.5
    Fredericton/Saint John, NB	101.5
    Montreal, Quebec		 93.5
    Ottawa, Ontario		103.3
    Kingston, Ontario		 92.9
    Peterborough, Ontario	103.9
    Toronto, Ontario		 94.1
    London, Ontario		100.5
    Windsor, Ontario	 	 89.9
    Thunder Bay, Ontario	101.7
    Winnipeg, Manitoba		 98.3
    Brandon, Manitoba		 92.7
    Regina, Saskatchewan	 96.9
    Saskatoon, Saskatchewan	105.5
    Edmonton, Alberta		 90.9
    Calgary, Alberta		102.1
    Lethbridge, Alberta		 91.7
    Vancouver, British Colombia	105.7

A note mentions that `CBC Stereo is also heard on many cable systems'.

Sorry, no information on whether either show is carried on
Radio Canada International.  Maybe later...
