CHUC is duly notified as a Class A on 1580, 10 kW, DA-1; up from a Class 
B (on a Class C channel), 1450, 8 KW-D, 1 kW-N, DA-2.

CHUC might not be operating, but it is indeed notified, and Canada has 
never abandoned a notified Class A AM allocation, and probably no Class 
Bs, either.

(WLIB is protecting a co-channel Canadian Class B which has not operated 
in decades, and which ceased such operations well before WLIB was granted 
its change from Class D to Class B).
