If we haven’t heard from anyone at your operation, and you’ve got a story to tell, please send it to me at howard@broadcastdialogue.com. <br /><br />Meanwhile, here’s a sampling... Corus Calgary’s Eau Claire location, which includes AM770 CHQR, saw the flooding eliminate power to all of its studios. But as the situation relates specifically to AM770, Corus Senior Engineering Manager-Western Canada Greg Landgraf said that given the station’s compromised <br />state, “connection of our CHQR transmitter site to our sister station CHED Edmonton was the best <br />option available.” <br /><br />Further, he said, it had the capacity and capability to process and disseminate the information. <br /><br />Alternatives in Calgary, according to Landgraf, were either lacking or had poor or unreliable connections. <br />As well, he said, there were limited means to process the data.Howard Christensenhttp://www.broadcastdialogue.comnoreply@blogger.com
