History

Rick Sargent, the owner of the station, was given approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on October 15, 2007 to broadcast on the frequency 105.5 FM at Bolton. [1] The new station will offer an eclectic adult contemporary music format that will feature pop, rock, country, folk, blues, jazz and classical music including local, Canadian, and emerging artists. CJFB-FM was also a community radio/tourist information station.

The station was branded as B105.5 or The B.

On April 9, 2008, the station submitted an application to convert CFGM-FM 102.7 in Caledon to a rebroadcaster of CJFB-FM. [2] That application was denied on July 31, 2008. [3]

On March 14, 2012, the CRTC approved the application by Haliburton Broadcasting Group Inc. for authority to acquire from Rick Sargent the assets of CJFB-FM and CFGM-FM, and for broadcasting licenses to continue the operation of the stations. [4]

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. [5] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012. [6]

On May 4, 2015, Vista received approval from the CRTC to change the frequency of CJFB-FM to 102.7 MHz. The CRTC also approved a change the station's authorized contours by increasing the average effective radiated power (ERP) from 50 to 1,565 watts (maximum ERP from 50 to 4,000 watts), changing the antenna's radiation pattern from non-directional to directional and decreasing its effective height above average terrain (EHAAT) from 15.7 to -22 metres. [7] Vista has also submitted a separate application to revoke the licence for CFGM-FM 102.7 MHz.

Vista Radio received extensions from the CRTC to April 15, 2020 and was given a third, and final, extension to October 15, 2020 to relocate CFJB-FM from 105.5 MHz to 102.7 MHz, and increase power from 50 to 1,100 watts.

In August 2021, Vista announced that CJFB-FM will be relaunching the station at 102.7 MHz with a new format and branding the following month. [8] On September 3, at 11:00 a.m., Vista relaunched the radio station as Moose FM , with a classic hits/variety hits format which will feature a high energy mix from some of the greatest music performers from the 1960s to the present. The first song played on "102.7 Moose FM" was "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones. [9] [10]
