AM Radio Replacement

Hold off on anything. There's been a lot of backlash to what the CEO said in that interview in the Globe and Mail. I suspect that she'll be walking some of her comments back quite soon. In any case she also said that the change could be 10 years away. It was really just a bit of crystal balling that the Globe turned into a fait accompli. Streaming is having its day but it may in the end not be the answer. It is already showing signs of faltering as its downsides become apparent.

Hi:

Thanks for this information.

I'll take your advice. It is most welcome.

After some thought and browsing, the best solution I can come up with is smartphone plus small Bluetooth speakers, maybe one in a static location and maybe one to carry around.

One more thought. There are actually internet radios for sale. They look a lot like traditional countertop radios but operate on WIFI. A few have WIFI plus FM. I've yet to see one with AM too. You can find a fairly decent selection of these devices on Amazon and Amazon.ca. Hope that helps.

.... The CBC radio stations are just Toronto repeaters.

Not completely. Most still do a local programme early in the morning and late in the afternoon. A few also do a lunch hour show. It's not much but it does help to fill in what is happening locally.
