History

On July 16, 1999, 1311831 Ontario Limited received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to operate a new English language FM tourist information radio station to serve North Bay at 104.9 MHz. [1] The station either signed on later the same year or in 2000.

On August 8, 2000, 1311831 Ontario Limited was granted a licence amendment to allow CKTR-FM to offer 10 hours of live broadcasting each week. [2]

In 2004, the CRTC approved a change in ownership and effective control of 1311831 Ontario Limited. The company was now equally owned by Christopher Thompson, Steven M. Dreany and Timothy Bertrand. [3]

On May 25, 2005, 1311831 Ontario Limited received CRTC approval to increase CKTR-FM's effective radiated power from 31 watts to 50 watts and to relocate the transmitter. [4]

On June 5, 2006, the CRTC renewed CKTR-FM's licence from September 1, 2006 to August 31, 2013. [5] The station is currently off the air. A new Facebook page for North Bay Radio - FM 104.9 was launched in January 2010 but hasn't been updated since March of that same year. [6] As well the station's website is offline.
