I found the radio coverage contours for 630 and 880 for a comparison of the two.

Very interesting.
Thanks for posting that. It looks like (based on these screenshots) that 880 has similar coverage during the day and better coverage at night.

The ONLY way that is possible is if they increased the output of the exisiting towers for 880 or increased the total amount of the broadcast towers.

All that being said...how come when I dirve into Southern Alberta during the day I can pick up 630 but I cant get 880?
