CJPE-FM

CJPE-FM, to be nicknamed 99.3 County FM, is a new English-language community radio station which will broadcast at 99.3 MHz/FM in Picton, located in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. The station will be owned and operated by the Prince Edward County Radio Corporation. The station was approved to broadcast by the CRTC on January 21, 2014.

When CJPE-FM begins broadcasting, it will broadcast with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 1,688 watts (maximum ERP of 3,000 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 71 metres).[1]

The station was officially launched on October 15, 2014. Sometime in late 2014, the tourist information radio station CIQW-FM in nearby Quinte West was shutdown due to interference from the new CJPE-FM which also operates on 99.3 FM. Instant Information Services (CIQW-FM) plans to apply for a new frequency. [2]
