A short newspaper article. The text reads: “We hear that renovations are in order for the aging equipment at Radio Station CBY . . . the changes probably will take place next year at which time some transmission parts which date almost back to Marconi will be modernized . . . We welcome this forward step at the Corner Brook station . . . and plead with the C.B.C. to do something about the location of the transmitters while they’re making the changes . . . that transmitter should be at least three miles outside Corner Brook, so the Roamer can get some other stations once in a while, and not have CBY come in at five different places on his dial.”
