Thanks for the tip George, hope they'll run it on the internet site. Between him and WDIA in Memphis the music scene got changed forever. I went down there a couple weeks ago and did the tour of Sun Studios. Amazin' the sound he got from the equipment they had then. It's all still there too! Five bucks will get you the tour of the museum upstairs and the actual studio downstairs. I even bought a Sun Studios baseball cap to wear while in Memphis so as to disguise the fact that I was a tourist ;~)

Tweed, they DO. What you have to do is locate the regional broadcast site. For instance in the Atlantic Time Zone, go to

http://cbc.ca/audio.html - For other time zones.
