History
In 1988, Trent Valley Broadcasting Inc. was denied a license to operate a new community FM radio station on the frequency of 98.7 MHz with 50 watts of power [1] and was denied again in 1990 to operate at 98.7 MHz with 1,000 watts.[2]
On June 12, 1992, Campbellford Area Radio Association received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to broadcast community-oriented programming and local events during the tourist season in the months of July and August 1992 at 98.7 MHz with 50 watts.[3] Trent Valley also received approval on November 30, 1992, to operate fulltime on the frequency FM 98.7 MHz.[4]
In 1999, the station moved from its original 98.7 MHz frequency to 93.5 MHz.[5] The 98.7 FM frequency is currently being occupied by CBCP-FM out of Peterborough, Ontario.
On July 25, 2000, Campbellford Area Radio Association submitted an application to increase CKOL-FM's power from 50 watts to 1,038 watts on its 93.5 MHz frequency.[6][7] The station later withdrew its application.[8]
In 2001, CKOL-FM moved from 93.5 to 93.7 FM increasing their effective radiated power from 50 to 500 watts.[9]
In July, 2006, the station was given approval by the CRTC to operate a low-power transmitter at Madoc on 100.7 FM with an ERP of 49.3 watts. [10] The station set up a studio above Wilson's of Madoc to offer local programming developed by local volunteers in Madoc separate from CKOL-FM Campbellford. The transmitter and antenna were on the Madoc water tower.
In 2017, the Campbellford community radio station celebrated its 25 years of broadcasting.[11]
