Station Group Search

The main Station Group Search page is divided into two steps

Step 1

Group Search:

• If you are searching for a specific station to determine what group it is in simply fill in the province and city information and click submit.
• To select a province, click on the arrow and select a value from the drop-down list.
• For the city, you can start typing the name of the city, or click on the icon next to this box to open a pick list on which you can search.

City Tips

• A minimum of 3 characters must be used for a city search
• If there are multiple cites that contain the characters entered then they are all displayed and you must pick the correct one
• If the province/state is not filled in but the city is and that city is unique then the province state will automatically be filled in, if the city is not unique you pick the correct one and the province/state and city will be filled in

Station Search:

• If you are trying to determine what cities exist in a given group simply type in the station name and click submit.
• For the group search, you can start typing the name of the group, or click on the icon next to this box to open a pick list on which you can search.
• A minimum of 3 characters must be used for a station search

Step 2

• If you want to search for groups and stations by specific date simply fill in step one and specify your date in step 2 and click submit
• Note if you are searching from within the publication the default date is the publication date which you can change at any time
