Whether this will make any dif- ference to the new Wingham FM radio station remains to be seen. The commission suspended its policy of deletion of foreign FM signals and now will seek public comment on- the matter until December I. The major policy reversal by the CRTC last Thursday may have appeased the public but now has angered the professional broadcasters. The Canadian As- sociation of Broadcasters (CAB) called the CRTC decision unfair, 'A one-sided and said it P" Canadian FM stations at a dis- tinct disadvantage. In a prepared statement, the broadcasters said tho move means Canadian FM stations are subject to tight regulations while their loosely<outt'dled U.S. com- petitors will have free rein. H••, cause of the decision the broad- casters want the entire low of FM regulations to be reviewed. The CAB spokesman in Ottawa ' said it would be unfair 'for' -ft CRTC to continue asking FM stations to make costly. improve- ments in programming H they were to be left unprotected from U.S. 'competitors -. The CRTC backed down on its protection -of Canadian FM stations after being4mmdatedby public protest. Since the re- gulation was announced by the CRTC in July it has been swamped by nearly 800 letters and telephone calls accusing it of infringing on citizens' rights. w r •9�� a � I The Wini ham Advance -Times, September 30, 15176 --Page 3 RECALL 'OPENING OF FORDWICH CHURCH—When service to meet Rev.
