CRTC update:

Well, that was a bit anticlimactic. The CRTC hearing, where our CRTC radio application was to be brought forward on March 30th, turned out to be just the start of the processing phase.

After talking to Michael Craig of the CRTC, I now understand that it could still be another month or so before we know if our application is approved. Sigh.
