CBQT-FM
CBQT-FM is a Canadian radio station. It is the CBC Radio One station in Thunder Bay, Ontario, broadcasting at 88.3 FM, and serves all of Northwestern Ontario through a network of relay transmitters.
History
The station was launched in 1973 on the AM band as CBQ 800. The 800 frequency had been vacated earlier that year by the defunct CJLX. CBQ Radio's inaugural morning broadcast in December 1973 made it the second city in Ontario to get a regional broadcast centre. The call sign CBQ was a last minute choice by station managers since CBL (for Lakehead) or CBT (for Thunder Bay) were taken by the CBC stations in Toronto and Grand Falls, respectively. Instead the letter Q was chosen for Quetico Provincial Park near Atikokan, which is west of Thunder Bay.
Prior to CBQ's launch, CBC Radio programming aired on private affiliate CFPA 1230.
CBQ moved to the FM band as CBQT-FM in 1990. The CBQ-FM call sign was already in use by the CBC Stereo sister station on 101.7 FM. Some of the relay transmitters for CBQT previously rebroadcast CBL in Toronto.

Ka-blamo!

Here we go downtown
Oh boy
Oh, I gotta go all around
You can't stop
Feel the pull
You can't stay, won't stay away
Ka-Blamo!
You just won the lottery - that's ka-blamo!
You kissed Shannen Doherty - that's ka-blamo!
You joined a sorority - that's ka-blamo!
You lied about the lottery - not ka-blamo!
You met Fred Segal at a debutante's ball
You gave him your number, he gave you a call
He told you to meet him at the corner at eight
You met him at nine, that's right, you were late
You stupid idiot, you don't know what you missed
Fred Segal's a star, and you called diss
His pimping-ass, cooling-ass, mack-ass building
With iggidy-ivy on the wall but not around the lettering
You dissed Fred Segal, and everybody knows
Ha ha ha ha ha! You're not ka-blamo!
The doc fixed your artery - that's ka-blamo!
Your mouthwash is gargly - that's ka-blamo!
Your water is watery - that's ka-blamo!
I majored in pottery - not ka-blamo!
You're chillin with your dudes and they stab you in the face
On the way to the hospital you're bleedin all over the place
Your leg is amputated cause you got gangrene
And then you get cancer and you die in your teens
But then this really pretty girl who you always really liked
Shows up to your funeral and that's a real mixed blessing
Your jello is wobbly - that's ka-blamo!
You met Gilbert Gottfried - that's ka-blamo!
You're Harlem Globetrottery - that's ka-blamo!
You wash the disorderlies - not ka-blamo!
When you're mining for coal and you forget what coal is
And you're sure to be fired, because that's your job
When a mole's in your ass and you wonder where the mole is
You're screwed man, a mole is in your ass... job
The meaning of life is revealed to you
And all of the drinks are old English brew
Your whim is the word of the people on earth
But the whole mole-in-the-ass thing is haunting you... earth
When your fluids are bodily
That's ka-blamy!
What happened to ka-blamo?
I mean ka-blamo!
Good, that's better
That's ka-blamy!
Wait, I'm confused...
We said ka-blamo!
