CBME-FM is an English-language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec. Owned and operated by the (government-owned) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, it broadcasts on 88.5 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 11,510 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 25,000 watts (class B) from a transmitter atop Mount Royal. Its studios are located at Maison Radio-Canada at 1400 Rene-Levesque Boulevard East in Montreal. The station has a commercial-free news/talk format and is part of the CBC Radio One network which operates across Canada. Like all CBC Radio One stations, but unlike most FM stations, it broadcasts in mono. Its studios, along with those of CBC Radio 2 sister station CBM-FM, are located at Maison Radio-Canada in Montreal; master control is at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto. ==History== The station was launched in 1933 on AM 1050 and was originally known as CRCM, operated by the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. When ownership was transferred to the CBC in 1937, the station call sign became CBM and the frequency was changed to 960. On March 29, 1941, like most radio stations in North America, CBM moved to a new frequency - 940. Originally 5000 watts, the station's power was increased to 50,000 watts. Prior to 1978 CBM broadcast from a transmitter site near Marieville. In 1978 the CBC consolidated its two AM transmitters for Montreal at a site in Brossard, on the south shore of Montreal. The AM transmitter allowed CBM to be heard across most of the eastern half of North America at night—including almost three-fourths of Canada. However, it was all but unlistenable in parts of Montreal during the day. To solve the problem, CBM got permission to move to FM band on July 4, 1997.〔(Decision CRTC 97-294 )〕 The FM transmitter went on the air in 1998, and the AM transmitter was shut down in May 1999—four months after French-language sister station CBF, which got permission to move to FM at the same time and which shared CBM's transmitter site in Brossard, shut down its own AM transmitter on 690 kHz. The call sign change to CBME-FM occurred in order to distinguish the station from sister station CBM-FM. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CBME-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
