Corus announces CKNW will move to 730

The long rumored move to 730 is official. In an announcement today CKNW will move from 980 to 730. The move becomes official as of February 24, but the 730 signal has been broadcasting 980 since Corus pulled the plug on the All Traffic station that used to live on 730 in June.
Similarly in Edmonton CHED moved from their long time home of 630 to 880 in October. This move in Vancouver has been rumored since June and it makes sense as the 980 signal has a lot of issues in the downtown area and other pockets of the greater Vancouver area.
Going forward the lineup on CKNW will remain the same. There are no plans to change the lineup at this time but there are rumors of a national evening show launching later this spring. We will see what happens with that though as Corus had a national show that was on late night and it was cancelled.
