On April 29, 2011, Centre Wellington Community Radio Inc. received Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approval to operate a community FM radio station at 92.9 MHz in Centre Wellington, Ontario. [1] On September 12, 2011, Central Wellington Community Radio applied for a technical amendment - contours. [2] [3] On October 28, 2011, the CRTC approved Centre Wellington Community Radio Inc.'s application to decrease the average effective radiated power from 85 to 46 watts, decrease the maximum ERP from 200 to 150 watts, decrease the antenna's effective height above average terrain from 54.2 to 49.1 metres and relocate the antenna and transmitter site.
