CJLT-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 93.7 FM in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The station is owned by Vista Broadcast Group and broadcasts a christian music format branded as 93.7 Praise FM.

The station originally began broadcasting in 2003 as an LPFM on 99.5 FM,[1] then in 2007 received CRTC approval to move to operate as a high powered station at 93.7 FM.[2] On April 5, 2011, the station applied to the CRTC to change CJLT-FM's frequency from 93.7 MHz to 103.3 MHz, as well as increase their power to 58,000 watts; furthermore, they also requested to rescind their "specialty format" status, which would enable them to switch to a soft adult contemporary format. [3] [4] [5] This application was rejected due to the popularity of the christian format.

On October 4th, 2012, it was announced that Vista Radio had acquired 93.7 FM from Lighthouse Broadcasting Ltd. [6] On October 15th, 2012, at 7am, Vista Radio re-launched Power 93.7 as 93.7 Praise FM, with Jeff Michaels & Warren Affleck on Mornings, Beth Warden and "Today's Family" middays, and Warren Osmond on Afternoon drive.[7]
