CJLF-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting a Contemporary Christian music format on 100.3 FM in Barrie, Ontario. Using the on-air brand name Life 100.3, the station was founded by Scott Jackson in August 1999 and is owned by Trust Communications.[1]

On August 27, 2006, CJLF-FM increased its power from 1.8 kW to 18.7 kW.[2] This move was supported by many motorists who lost reception of the station while commuting to and from Toronto along Highway 400. As well, since there are no FM Christian stations in Toronto, it also serves the northern part of the Greater Toronto Area. The power was further increased to 40 kW in January 2007.

Programming

In addition to locally-oriented programming, the station produces the nationally syndicated CT-20 countdown of Christian music hits.

Expansion

Trust Communications applied for a transmitter to serve the Inuit residents of Iqaluit, Nunavut with the first Christian station in the territory (which would rebroadcast CJLF-FM); however, this application was rejected.[3] Trust also applied twice for a new station in Kitchener-Waterloo with its own schedule and studios, but these applications were rejected in favour of CJTW.[4][5] In 2011 Trust Communications announced plans to apply for a new station in Toronto.[6]

On September 28, 2011, the CRTC denied Trust's application to increase CJLF-FM-1's power in Owen Sound. [7]
