Шаблон:Infobox radio station

CKGN-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 89.7 FM in Kapuskasing, Ontario and 94.7 FM in Smooth Rock Falls. Owned and operated by Radio communautaire KapNord cooperative, it is a non-profit community radio station for the region's franco-ontarian community.

The station is a member of the Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada.

History

The station originally dates back to 1990 when Radio Communautaire Kapnord Inc. received an approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on September 28, 1990 to operate a low-power short-term French language community events radio station at Kapuskasing on the frequency of 91.5 MHz with 33 watts.[1] Two more licences were granted before the station officially signed on in 1993.[2]

On January 26, 1993, Kapnord received CRTC approval to operate a new French language community radio station on the frequency of 89.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts.[3] The station officially signed on the air on October 20 later that same year with the CKGN-FM callsign.

Rebroadcasters

In 2000, the station was authorized to add a transmitter at Smooth Rock Falls to operate on the frequency 94.7 FM.[4] The transmitter signed on as CKGN-FM-1 in 2002.

Notes

History of the CKGN call letters

CKGN is a former callsign from a television station in North Bay, Ontario from 1955 to 1962, known today as CKNY-DT and CKGN was again used for a television station (Global Television) in Toronto, Ontario from 1974 to 1984. The call letters remained unused until the launch of CKGN-FM in the early 1990s.
