Other than City TV does any media outlet use radio anymore? In the world of cell phones and palm pilots I guess it doesnt make sense but.. if the net went down then t he radios could come into importance. Does anyone monitor any of the frequs? I see many listed on various websites and in books but they are never active. Anyone have a list?

In addition to their conventional UHF repeater, CITY uses a trunking system. So does Ch 9 (although they still have the VHF repeater as far as I know). Global uses MIKE radios so you can't hear them. They used to do a talkback to the helicopter camera operator on their UHF frequency but I havnt listend to it for over a year so i'm not sure they still do it that way. I have no idea what the CBC uses. As for Radio, 680 News has their VHF repeater but its used almost totally for traffic but it could be a backup if cell phones go down. Having worked there, I can tell you that 99% of the news comm's are done on cellular. Chum also has the VHF for airplane traffic. Last time they used that for news was in the downtown race riots over 10 years ago. CFRB has a rather complex radio system. Having worked there as well, I can tell you that they have a VHF system for airplane traffic (and in the past, it was used for the summer water / boating reports), and a UHF system with mobile repeaters in the news vehicles for NEWS. However, these days, they too use cellular almost 99% of the time for news. CFRB also has a sat. truck and can do a sat. link to the studio if they are out of range of the UHF link radio (which is separate from the UHF news two way freq). CIUT the U of T station also had a news freq in the UHF band but as far as I know, they never could get the $$$'s together to put in the equipment. Bottom line is, radios are more complicated for news people to figure out so they tend to just go with cell. Too bad as the radios often sounded alot better on air than cell. The freq's for all these are listed in the haruteq and other places and they have not changed for years so they are correct...they're just not used much. If you want more specifics on any of the individual systems, email me offline and I'll explain in more detail how they work... --- Eric <ejb@cogeco.ca> wrote: > Other than City TV does any media outlet use radio > anymore?
