CKTR-FM is a radio station broadcasting at 104.9 FM in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. The station operates a tourist information format with community radio programming.
History
On July 16, 1999, 1311831 Ontario Limited received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to operate a new English language FM tourist information radio station to serve North Bay at 104.9 MHz.[1] The station either signed on later the same year or in 2000.
On May 25, 2005, 1311831 Ontario Limited received CRTC approval to increase CKTR-FM's effective radiated power from 31 watts to 50 watts and to relocate the transmitter.[2]
Originally a tourist information station, the station later evolved toward a community radio format, airing programs produced by a variety of commercial and community groups, including the local chamber of commerce, real estate and financial planning agents, health and wellness consultants, sports and recreational clubs and students from Nipissing University.
The station is currently off the air.
