History
On May 19, 2011, an application was made by the Gabriola Radio Society (GRS) to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new english-language community FM radio station to serve Gabriola Island on the frequency 98.7 MHz (channel 254A1) with an effective radiated power of 60 watts (non-directional antenna with a height above average terrain of 178 metres).[1] The CRTC approved Gabriola Radio Society's application on November 2, 2011.[2]
