RADIO-RELATED STUFF: PLAYING WITH THE CAR RADIO IN KINGSTON

The CBC transmitter from Peterborough on 98.7 sounded a bit fuzzy yesterday and today.

WTAM needs to get new episodes of their features.

Took a trip to Kingston yesterday and found CFRC on the radio as we got into Kingston. Listened to the end of one program and the first few minutes of "Biotech Beat." Listened to program featuring Spanish music as well as news on the return trip. Signal was lost completely as we got past Napanee.

Speaking of car radios, are there any still made that allow you to navigate frequency by frequency? The one in the car I was travelling in only picked up the frequencies with strong enough signals to be heard; not an empty or fuzzy one to be found.

Also yesterday in the car picked up an NPR classical music station and another NPR station with a program talking about anorexia and the obesity epidemic while I was looking for CFRC.
