no, radio stations are generally pretty secretive with long-term launch dates. This is just a recent story which I gathered this from:
Kent Newson Named Station Manager @ Rawlco Calgary
Ottawa ON from MMU
Kent Newson has resigned as Program Director for Majic 100 and 939 BOB FM in Ottawa.
He has accepted an opportunity with Rawlco to be the Station Manager at their new station in Calgary. He'll remain with CHUM Ottawa until the fall.
rereading this, perhaps a winter launch is more likely.

That aside, my perfence is QR77 or Q107.

Edmonton actually has 3 with CFCW broadcasting from I believe it is Camrose. Calgary also has 2, with classic country on 1060. Unfortunately for Big Earl in Edmontonthey have never had much in the way of ratings since they launched. The listeners of CISN are much like Country 105 here (both Corus stations as well) in that they are pretty loyal and wouldnt be likely to change stations. Newcap might try to flip California to a country station once their initial CRTC licence is up as well.
