[BC] Can traditional AM and IBOC co-exist?

I presume you mean WINS.

The Canadians snuck in a Class A on 1010 in Toronto.

The Calgary 1010 is a Class I-A, and its DA-1 has its pattern minimum 
(about 20 kW) pointed right at WINS, although WINS is a Class II-B.

I guess that makes CBR a Class I-A in name only, much as CFRB is a Class 
I-B in name only.

The Toronto Class A doesn't have to protect WINS as an A, of course, but 
it doesn't send much into the U.S., anyway, except to New England.

However, WINS' revised patterns (four tower, parallelogram array) would 
have had to protect Toronto as an A, and it certainly appears to do so.

Therefore, it is not surprising that WINS is not a flame-thrower compared 
to its old array (four tower in-line, protecting only CBR, Calgary).
