Here is some more information to supplement what Michael Hui
and others have already posted about Jane Siberry and Kate
Bush being featured on CBC programs this weekend.
Information is from _Radio Guide_, the CBC Radio and Stereo
monthly program guide available in Canadian magazine stores.
Note that the 4:08 time for Swinging on a Star is not for
Toronto as Michael posted, but for the Radio rather than the
Stereo network (see below).
Saturday 11 November
11:05 am (11:35 Newfoundland), CBC Stereo
4:08 pm (5:08 Atlantic, 5:38 Newfoundland), CBC Radio
Swinging on a Star (host: Murray McLauchlan)
features Jane Siberry and Eric Bogle (from Australia)
Sunday 12 November
2:25 pm (2:55 Newfoundland), CBC Stereo
The Entertainers (host: Karen Gordon)
features Billy Bragg in concert
Kate Bush announced (though not in Radio Guide);
probably on the `International Disc' segment towards
the end of the show (it lasts till 5).
CBC Radio is the original CBC radio network, on AM in many
cities and mono FM everywhere else. I don't feel like typing
in the list of frequencies: there are close to 100, not including
low power relay transmitters.
CBC Stereo is the FM stereo service, the one with Brave New Waves
all night long and mostly classical music and jazz the rest of
the day. Here is the list of transmitters from Radio Guide:
St John's, Newfoundland 106.9
Sydney, Nova Scotia 105.1
Halifax, Nova Scotia 102.7
Middleton, Nova Scotia 93.3
Moncton, New Brunswick 95.5
Fredericton/Saint John, NB 101.5
Montreal, Quebec 93.5
Ottawa, Ontario 103.3
Kingston, Ontario 92.9
Peterborough, Ontario 103.9
Toronto, Ontario 94.1
London, Ontario 100.5
Windsor, Ontario 89.9
Thunder Bay, Ontario 101.7
Winnipeg, Manitoba 98.3
Brandon, Manitoba 92.7
Regina, Saskatchewan 96.9
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan 105.5
Edmonton, Alberta 90.9
Calgary, Alberta 102.1
Lethbridge, Alberta 91.7
Vancouver, British Colombia 105.7
A note mentions that `CBC Stereo is also heard on many cable systems'.
Sorry, no information on whether either show is carried on
Radio Canada International. Maybe later...

Maybe later... Two important notes: While RCI (Radio Canada International) may not carry it, one can be sure that the CBC Northern Service almost certainly would. CBC Northern Service on shortwave is heard worldwide almost as clearly as RCI in many parts. (But no match for the ubiquitous BBC, VOA, and Radio Moscow! :-) The second point is that the CBC can be heard in excellent stereo throught North America and probably into Central America and the Carribean! I have listened to it here in Florida, only 90 miles from the Bahamas and also at a point only 90 miles from Havana Cuba. How? Visit a satellite TV store. A system installed for about $2,000 will do the trick. Since I live in an apartment, I do not have one, but I have been known to drop in on a dealer in order to listen to CFNY Toronto. [I have been told that they are no longer as progressive as about 5 years ago, when I last listened.] A bar in Key West was known to use them as background music according to the DJ I spoke with, but he could not remember the bar, and I never found it when I visited Key West several years ago. :-( John M.
