Re: deleting CKAV-2 article and redirecting to the Toronto station

Let's not be too quick to do this - please wait until the station actually goes on-air before making such a major change. Or, at least, discuss it - thanks! --Ckatz^chat_spy 01:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stations with numbers in their call sign are rebroadcasters. The only exception to this in all of Canadian history has been CITE-FM-1 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, which despite its call sign is actually a separate station with different programming from CITE-FM. This actually has to be the other way around — based on the fact that the call sign is assigned as a rebroadcaster, this has to be a redirect to the primary originating station until such time as its programming proves it not to be one, not vice versa. You've also failed to notice that the Toronto station actually changed its call sign from CFIE to CKAV at the same time as the Vancouver transmitter was licensed, which militates even further against the likelihood of this station originating any distinct programming.
