1CFDR had previously been licensed to move to 88.9 FM, however the subsequent purchase of CKUL by parent company Newcap Broadcasting made this conversion impossible due to concentration of media ownership rules. Sale to Rogers Communications was approved by the CRTC on November 24, 2008, and the station has moved to FM 92.9 and started up August 7, 2009 at 12:00 pm AST. CFDR's format is changed to "LITE 92.9" soft adult contemporary.

Canwest had been licensed to launch an FM station at 105.1 MHz (to be CHAL-FM, "The Breeze" adult contemporary) in November 2004. The station did not launch, and Canwest's authority to launch the station has now expired. Evanov, the owners of Z103.5 are applied to start a radio station at the 105.1 MHz frequency. It was approved on October 7, 2009 and is adopting a Modern Rock format.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:

    “A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)

    “from above, thin squeaks of radio static,
    The captured fume of space foams in our ears—”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
