CFMO-FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CFMO-FM is a new radio station which will broadcast a classical music format on 102.9 MHz/FM in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. The station will be owned by ZoomerMedia, through licensee MZ Media Inc. This format will be similar to ZoomerMedia's CFMZ-FM 96.3 in Toronto.

History

On February 29, 2012, ZoomerMedia received a license from the CRTC. ^[1] In that same decision, a competing application by Evanov Communications for a soft adult contemporary station on 102.9 was denied. The station was originally to operate at 104.9 MHz; however, Bayshore Broadcasting was approved to use the 104.9 frequency in Shelburne, forcing CFMO-FM to find an alternate frequency.

On March 15, 2013, the CRTC approved CFMO-FM's application to operate on 102.9 MHz.^[2] The 102.9 MHz frequency for CFMO-FM is first adjacent to CFGI-FM 102.7 MHz in Georgina Island, operated by a local First Nations group, causing potential interference between the two stations. In response to this, ZoomerMedia entered into an agreement with Georgina Island First Nations, in which ZoomerMedia agreed to supply CFGI-FM with new transmitting equipment, refurbish its transmitting antenna and cover the costs related to preparing applications for the CRTC. The relocation of CFGI-FM from 102.7 to its new frequency, 92.3 MHz, was approved by the CRTC on March 15, 2013.^[3]

Notes

The call letters CFMO and CFMO-FM was originally used by a radio station in the Ottawa area which now known as CKKL-FM in Ottawa.
