From 10 November 2012, 22:00 to 10 November 2013, 22:00 on 88.0 FM from the radiating point of 45º 31’ 49.7186” N / 73º 36’ 23.8114” W (position error +/- 213’), a signal of 25mW broadcast silence will be transmitted.

This broadcast is in the form of a community service to quieten the FM radio band at this frequency for a period of one year. At present, a naturally occurring broadband noise is saturating this frequency. It is unclear, at this point in time, what the concrete benefits of this action will be other than a quieter FM band. We can only imagine some of the outcomes.
