Quebec plans to launch traffic radio stations on AM

Quebec’s Transport Department will be subsidizing two all-traffic stations on the AM dial this fall. The stations will broadcast what roads to avoid, possible detours and any problems with public transit. One will be in French at 690 AM and one in English at 940 AM, pending approval by the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission.

Transport Quebec has struck a three-year deal with broadcaster Cogeco, at a cost of $3 million a year to the government.
