CFGM-FM was a Canadian radio station, which aired at 102.7 MHz (FM) in [[Caledon, Ontario]. Originally licensed in 2007 to broadcast a tourist information format, it expanded into a commercial adult contemporary music station in 2009, but was discontinued in 2015 when its owner merged its operations with nearby sister station CJFB-FM.

History

In 2007, Rick Sargent submitted two applications to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission for low-power stations in Caledon and Bolton; the Bolton station, CJFB-FM, would offer a music format, while the Caledon station, CFGM-FM, would broadcast tourist information. Both licenses were approved on October 15, 2007. [1] After just a few months in operation, however, Sargent applied to convert CFGM-FM into a rebroadcaster of CJFB-FM. That application was denied on July 31, 2008. [2]

On January 29, 2009, Sargent applied for a licence to convert CFGM into a music station, which would offer an adult contemporary format. [3] The station received CRTC approval on June 17, 2009. [4] In August 2009, the station was rebranded as The View.

On March 14, 2012, the CRTC approved an application by Haliburton Broadcasting Group to acquire the stations. [5] On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns a number of radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital. [6] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012. [7]

On May 4, 2015, Vista received approval from the CRTC to change the frequency of CJFB-FM from 105.5 to 102.7 MHz, along with an adjustment of authorized contours and transmitter power. [8] As an adjunct to that station's changes, Vista submitted a separate application to revoke the licence for CFGM-FM.

The CRTC approved Vista Radio's application to revoke CFGM-FM's broadcasting license on April 10, 2024. [9]
