That's true. However, the programming on KRPI-1550 targets Vancouver,
and apparently originates from Vancouver. While KRPI is owned by a
Washington state corporation, one of its two officers has a Canadian
address. It would be perfectly plausible for Canadians associated with
the station to apply for 600, and if awarded the license, move the KRPI
programming to 600. 1550 would then either go up for sale or go dark.
From a practical standpoint, this would be the same thing as moving the
station across the border, even though the station wouldn't be
relicensed to Vancouver. I have no idea if KRPI's owners are
interested, but it's a possibility. I probably should have been a bit
more clear in my earlier e-mail.

The FCC and CRTC are entirely different orgainzations in different countries
and it would never happen.... 1550 and 1600 simple TARGET the Vancouver area
because of their signals.. but it would take an act of God, Congress &
Parliment to relicense a US station in Canada!

Another possibility would involve either of the Bellingham area stations on
1550 or 1600 moving north of the border. Both now program for south Asian
audiences in Vancouver.

CJWW and KGEZ are both common here to the East. That is the reason I
feel that 600 will not be that great of a channel. Yes, something like
CHMB 1320 may want to move to 600 as the freq is better. CJVB gets out
pretty well already.
