So what would've changed in the Tofino case (has FM even started yet in
Ucluelet?)?
How has Mother Corp 'serviced' outlier tx's in the past, say on
Vancouver Island before there was even a local originating studio in
Victoria?
As for 6160, both CKZU and CKZN danced around the frequency for a couple
of years, though the Newfoundland tx was the worse of the two. When I
phoned CBC Vancouver a number of years ago on the subject, I had a
tussle to get beyond switchboard, and eventually gave up when having to
deal with a PR person who insisted that all shortwave activities were
the responsibility of RCI in Montreal. <sigh>
A late-morning off-air has to be a first? No overtime.. but, hang on,
it's Saturday.

This is an important event! Not sure on what level, but it would allow
us crystal clear reception of whatever else is on 690khz.
And now for a slight exaggeration: When there is a technical failure of
virtually any AM or FM transmitter in B.C. (and likely in any other
Province...)
resources for our stately CBC are so stripped down and cut to the quick
that there are few technicians to respond to any issue.
Recently there were some hardware issues in Ucluelet / Tofino with
the FM transmitters - they had to send someone from Vancouver B.C. -
as one of the few techs that still work for Canada's mother network radio.
Issues like the current flakey behaviour of CBC 6160 Khz on the West Coast
will likely continue for some time as there are simply no staff resources to
look after the trouble.

I just caught part of the announcement -- it seems that next Sunday 15th
(or Saturday 14th), CBU-690 will be off the air from 0910 to 1210 PST. I
was distracted and could not focus on the whole of it, but think I have it
right. Their other signal (88.1) will remain on
FWIW
