History

On May 9, 2008, Larche Communications received approval from the CRTC to operate a new FM radio station at 92.3 MHz in Owen Sound. [1] The CJOS call sign formerly belonged to a religious station in Caronport, Saskatchewan, which ceased broadcasting in 2006.

On June 9, 2010, CJOS received CRTC approval to decrease their effective radiated power from 20,000 watts to 9,400 watts. [2] The station officially signed on the air with a mix of rock music and classic hits as 92.3 The Dock - The Greatest Hits of All Time on July 26, 2010. [3]

On August 9, 2017, Bell Media announced that it would acquire CJOS from Larche Communications. [4] Bell Media received approval from the CRTC on February 14, 2018. [5]
