AM rebroadcaster

A transmitter for Canada's National Capital Region, CIRA-5 (1350 AM) in Gatineau, was on the air from 2012 to 2015. That transmitter received CRTC approval on September 23, 2009. [5] In 2011, the 1350 AM transmitter began on-air testing, simulcasting the programming of CJEU 1670 AM temporarily [6] [7] [8] until CIRA-FM officially launched its programs on 1350 AM as CIRA-5 in 2012. [9] In 2015, CIRA-5 was shut down due to lack of money to keep that transmitter going.[ citation needed ] CIRA's FM transmitters remain unaffected with CIRA-5's shutdown. The 1350 AM frequency was a former frequency that was used by CHVR in Pembroke, Ontario, until it moved to FM in 1996. In 2018, CHFO in Gatineau occupied the AM 1350 frequency until it left the air in 2019.
