Editing CFRB (section)

=== Changing frequencies and studios ===
CFRB and [[CJBC (AM)|CJBC]], owned by the CBC, made a frequency switch on September 1, 1948. CFRB moved to 1010 while CJBC took over the [[List of North American broadcast station classes|Class I-A]] clear-channel frequency at 860, previously used by CFRB.<ref>[http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1948/1948-08-23-BC.pdf Broadcasting Magazine August 23, 1948, p. 32. Retrieved 14-3-2018]</ref> The CBC wanted its stations in major cities to be on Class I-A frequencies. But CFRB, which had been running at 20,000 watts, was boosted to 50,000 [[watt]]s, giving it wide coverage over [[Southern Ontario]].

Beginning in 1948, through until the early 1970s, CFRB made several unsuccessful bids for a licence to operate a television station in Toronto.

In 1965, CFRB moved its studios from 37 Bloor Street West to 2 St. Clair Avenue West (at Yonge Street). At around the same time, Standard Radio Limited was renamed Standard Broadcasting.<ref name=rogers />

A long-lasting show, ''Calling All Britons'' featuring news, sports scores and music from Britain, began in 1965. It was hosted by [[Ray Sonin]] until his death in 1991.
