History

On September 8, 2004, V.R. Garbutt, on behalf of a not for profit corporation to be incorporated (Valley Heritage Radio) received an approved licensed from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate an English-language FM Type B community radio station in Renfrew. The proposed station would operate at 98.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 14,000 watts (maximum of 27,000 watts). Antenna height would be 106.3 metres. [1] On October 27, 2006, CJHR was authorized to decrease effective radiated power from 14,000 watts (27,000 maximum) to 13,000 watts (20,000 maximum), and decrease antenna height from 106.3 metres to 105.3 metres. There would also be a change in the proposed antenna site. [2]

CJHR began on-air testing at 98.7 MHz on December 11, 2006, and officially signed on on January 15, 2007. [3] The first song ever played on CJHR-FM was Vic Garbutt's Waltz, by Calvin Vollrath.

Notes

The 98.7 frequency was once occupied by CBOF-FM-8 in Renfrew, but was deleted in the early 1990s after the former CBOF on the AM band moved to 90.7 FM in Ottawa. [4]
