Same here in Sudbury.
I honestly haven’t regularly used WRC for forecasts in years, but still switch it on a couple times/day to check the volume level of my radio.
Last night, for the first time, noticed a female TTS synthesizer reading a message stating: “The Weather Radio Canada station for this area is scheduled to be discontinued in the next six months. If you have any comments or concerns, email xxxxx or call yyy”.
Then it went on to promote ECCC’s website/mobile app.
I realize the hardware/software they’re using is ancient, and prone to tech glitches/failures, but all that aside, personally know a few people (especially older folks) who still rely on their WX radios for Watch and Warning Alerts.
As both a radio and weather buff, I remember getting my first scanner as an eight-year-old back in 1992 living in Tiverton, leaving it on 162.55 for hours at a time. That’s when a real person (in the London weather office) would disseminate the info.
Farewell old friend; RIP
