CJCS is a Canadian radio station in Stratford, Ontario with an oldies format at AM 1240 kHz.
The station, known as "10AK" began broadcasting in 1928 as an amateur station at 250 metres. In 1933, the station changed to 1200 kHz, moved to 1210 kHz in 1936 and then moved to its present frequency at 1240 kHz on March 29, 1941. 10AK switched to its present callsign CJCS in 1935.
CJCS was owned by Raedio Inc. and opened up a new FM sister station CHGK-FM on September 2, 2003.
Lloyd Robertson, Bob Bratina and Tony Parsons all started their respective broadcasting careers at this station.
In September 2010, Raedio Inc. announced a tentative deal, pending CRTC approval, to sell the station to Haliburton Broadcasting Group which received CRTC approval on February 21, 2011 .[1] [2]
There are possibilities CJCS will be converted to the FM dial in the future.
