CKO was the only
AM outlet of the defunct CKO All-News Network, which bought the station
in late 1977. All of the other stations in the CKO network across
the country were on FM. Before CKO was bought by the network, it
was licensed as CFOX. CKO left the air at the same time the
entire
CKO network closed down for good, during the noon newscast (Eastern
Time)
on Nov. 10, 1989. The problems leading to the closing of the
network
were due to poor ratings and a breakdown in the negotiations concerning
the ongoing sale of the operation. The network never returned to
the air, and many of the original FM frequencies used by the CKO
stations
in major cities have since been awarded to other licensees. The
Montreal
AM frequency used by CKO has never been reactivated.

CFRC
Kingston, Ontario
1490
.1 ND
ON AIR:
OCT 27 23
Although CFRC, with
only 100 watts, is the least powerful station on this list, it is also
one of the oldest. Not only was CFRC one of the earliest radio
stations
in Canada, its sister station, CFRC-FM, was one of the earliest FM
stations
in Canada. CFRC began operation in 1923 as 9BT, after which it
was
issued
a commercial broadcast license. Although owned by Queen's
University,
CFRC operated as a commercial radio station until Aug. 31, 1942 when
CKWS
Kingston signed on. CFRC has been deleted, but CFRC-FM, which
began
operation as experimental station VE9BH on Apr. 3, 1944, remains
active.
CFRC was Canada's first university-operated radio station.
Queen's
University owned CFRC until 1981, at which time ownership changed to an
independent body, Radio Queen's University. CFRC-FM underwent the
same ownership change in 1985. The experimental license for VE9BH
was renewed annually from 1944 until Mar. 31, 1953, at which time the
station
was issued an FM broadcast license with the call sign CFRC-FM.
CFRC-FM
was a simulcast operation until January 1970, at which time programming
was made independent of CFRC. CFRC-FM operated at 91.9 with 1,270
watts from 1954 to 1990. On Feb. 3, 1990, power was increased to
to 3,000 watts, the frequency was changed to 101.9, and CFRC went dark.

using
the Motorola C-Quam system. In early 1991, CJFT moved to FM at
101.1
with 8,670 watts. The call sign changed from CJFT-FM to CKEY-FM
in
late 1991. The CKEY call had been previously used by 590 (and
earlier
580) in Toronto. A power increase to 19,700 watts was approved On
Aug. 21, 1996. After CJFT vacated 530, CIAO in Brampton moved to

ON AIR:
OCT 25 34
Aug. 30, 1992 was a sad day in radio
history
for Sault Ste. Marie since the city lost both of its AM stations on
that
day. CFYN and CKCY were owned by different companies, but the two
owners persuaded the CRTC to allow them to close their AM stations
because
they could no longer compete in the market. Both companies
already
had FM stations operating in the market, and the CBC had entered the
market
as well. To make matters worse, there were four competing
stations
in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. CFYN is survived by sister station
CHAS-FM, at 100.5 with 14 KW. CKCY is survived by sister station
CJQM-FM, at 104.3 with 100 KW. Both FM stations have been operating
since

ON AIR:
FEB 19 55
Replaced by CHYR-FM, on air Jul. 23, 1993
at 96.7 with 21,200 watts.
CHYR was an unusual AM operation.
It began as a 250 watt directional daytime station on 710 in
1955.
Power increased in 1960 to 1 KW, still as a directional daytimer.
In Aug. 1967, daytime power was increased to 10 KW directional.
Night
service began in 1968 with 250 watts directional, but on 730, while the
daytime signal remained on 710. The station call during the day
on
710 remained CHYR, while the night call sign on 730 was
CHIR.
Night power on 730 increased to 500 watts in 1974, and the call sign
changed
from CHIR to CHYR-7. Night power on 730 increased to 1 KW in
1980.
Permission was granted on Feb. 11, 1993 for CHYR to move from 710 and
730
to 96.7 FM. While the FM tower was being constructed at the AM
site,
all but one of the towers in the AM directional system had to be
removed,
so CHYR began to operate on 710 only during the day and night at
reduced
power. Night operation on 730 ceased in March 1993. CHYR-FM
began tesing in early July, with full operation beginning Jul. 23,
1993.
CHYR ceased operation on 710 on Sep. 10, 1993.

When Telemedia
Communications
and Radiomutual merged their AM operations in Quebec on Sep. 30, 1994
because
they could no longer afford to compete with other, they closed CJMS
(Montréal),
CJRP (Québec), CJMT (Chicoutimi), CJRS
(Sherbrooke),
CJTR (Trois-Rivières), and CKCH (Hull). (See other
stations
below). All six stations left the air on this date and the
licenses
were turned in to the CRTC. The merger produced a new company
known
as RadioMedia, but the two companies still run their FM stations
separately.
NOTE: CFMB (Montréal)
operating
at 10 KW on 1410 was permitted on Feb. 21, 1997 to move to 1280 with 50

CKCK closed

at midnight on October 1, 2001. This was part of of complicated
sale
arrangement between CKCK, CKRM, and CJME, along with the FM stations
owned
by CKCK and CKRM. Essentially, CKRM bought CKCK and moved the
CKRM
signal from 980 to 620. While the CKCK call sign was actually
transferred
to 980 st that time, the actual operations of CKCK came to a
close.
The signal on 980 was simply a simulcast of the new CKRM operation on
620.
Meanwhile, CJME Regina on 1300 will acquire the 980 frequency and move
their CJME operation from 1300 to 980. The CJME call sign will
move
to 980 and the CKCK call sign will disappear. To add to the
complication,
the original CJME station on 1300 has been granted a conversion to FM,
so the 1300 frequency will go dark.

CKOT has been
granted
permission to move to FM, but a new frequency must be chosen by the
applicant.
CKOT's application specified 104.7 with 2,300 watts, but it was decided
that 104.7 would be best used by a new station in Woodstock to avoid
interference
with CHUM-FM on 104.5. CKOT has six months from the approval date
of 25 August 2005 to choose another frequency that will be acceptable
to
the CRTC and the Department of Industry. CKOT already operates
CKOT-FM
on 101.3 with 50,000 watts. CKOT-FM began operation Oct. 1, 1965.
NOTE:
CKOT applied to move to FM in 1999 when 102.3 was available in

denied

CJVI

ON AIR:
APR 2 23
CJVI applied to
move to 107.3, but their application was denied. The 107.3
frequency
was awarded to CFAX (1070) Victoria, but as an additional FM station,
not
as a replacement for CFAX. In the decision to deny 107.3 to
CJVI, it was noted that 89.9 will be available when hearings are held,
so CJVI will undoubtedly apply for it.
NOTE: Instead of applying
for 89.9, CJVI arranged to swap frequencies with non-commercial CKMO-FM
Victoria at 103.1. Under the terms of the arrangement, CJVI-FM
began
operation on 103.1 with 9,400 watts on September 1, 2000. At the
same time, CKMO-FM left 103.1 and became CKMO on 900 with the former
facilities
of CJVI. Rogers Broadcasting Limited, owner of CJVI, is leasing
the
AM transmitter facilities to CKMO for $1 per year for 10 years.
Rogers
has a commitment to spend $400,000 over the 10 year period to operate
and
maintain the transmitter facilities on behalf of CKMO. While
CKMO-FM
operated on 103.1 with only 50 watts, Rogers is authorized to operate
CHTT-FM
(the replacement for CJVI) on 103.1 with 9,400 watts.

NOTE: The application for
CKSL to move to FM was denied Oct. 28, 1999. The frequency was
awarded
to the CHUM Radio Group for construction of a new FM station.
CKSL
will continue to operate. Another applicant for this FM frequency
was CKOT Tillsonburg, which already operates an FM station in that
community.
The CRTC felt that the CHUM Group offered the best proposed use
of
the frequency.

CJRC applied to

CKST applied to
move to 94.5 with 38,000 watts. The CRTC received the application
on Jul. 28, 1992, but denied the application on Feb. 23, 1993.
The
application was made only about four months after CKST moved from their
original frequency of 800 in Langley with 25 KW to the more powerful
1040
frequency of the former CIMA Vancouver with 50 KW. (CIMA began
operation
in 1986 as CIOF, and was later CKXY until finally changing to
CIMA.)
CKST bought the facilities of CIMA in a sale approved by the CRTC on
Jan.
30, 1992. CIMA went off the air on Feb. 4, 1992, and then
returned
to the air on Mar. 9, 1992 as CKST, at which time the former CKST 800
in
Langley was deleted.

N/A
CHOR

CHOR applied to
move to 94.5 with 5000 watts. The CRTC received the application
on
December 23, 2003, but denied the application on April 23, 2004.
The reason for the denial was that the increased coverage area proposed
for the FM service would have increased the population served by it by
489% over the current AM service. The CRTC concluded that any FM
station designed to replace CHOR should have a coverage area that more
closely duplicates the current CHOR signal.
CHOR made a second
application to move to 98.5 with 250 watts in 2004, but it was denied
by
the CRTC on August 3, 2005 for the same reason as the first
application.
Although the amount of power specified in the second application was
substantially
less than in the first application, the CRTC reaffirmed its original
decision
that an FM designed to replace CHOR should have a coverage area that
more
closely duplicates the current CHOR signal.
