Andy Clarke, it was discovered, had already done is stuff, starting at nine o‘clock instead of ten as usual There is no doubt about it, the new hour is not nearly as popular as the old. Why the change was made is hard to say. Two Toronto CBC stations, CBL and CBY, carry Andy‘s program, and it would not be difficult to arrange things so that at least CBL carries it at ten. CBL has a much greater coverage than CBY. Both CBL and CBY, during the hours between ten and ten thirty on Sunday mornâ€" "Neighbourly News‘" broadcast from nine to nineâ€" fifteen.
