CBAM-FM is a radio station broadcasting at 106.1 MHz (FM) from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, and is the local Radio One station of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. CBAM broadcasts with a power of 69,500 watts. ==History== The station went on the air on April 8, 1939 as CBA, a 50,000-watt clear-channel station at 1050 AM. It was the CBC's clear-channel outlet for the Maritime provinces. As a result of the North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement treaty, it moved to 1070 AM on March 29, 1941. The original city of licence was Sackville, the location of the transmitter site. The city of licence was later changed to Moncton in 1968 when the CBA transmitter, one 460-foot tower (140 metres), moved to Dover Road in the rural community of Fox Creek near Moncton. In the 1950s and 1960s, CBA AM studios were located on St George Street in Moncton. In September 1970, CBA and its French-language counterparts CBAF and CBAFT were given approval to relocate their studios and offices in a new complex at 250 Archibald Street today known as Universite Avenue. On January 8, 2007, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved the station's proposed move to 106.1FM.〔() CRTC Decisions 2007-01-08〕 Since Radio 2 had the local call sign of CBA-FM, the Radio One network adopted the CBAM-FM call sign. The engineers were at the 1070 AM transmitter site on Dover Road in Dieppe to say good-bye to the old AM signal that signed off for good on the morning of April 7, 2008 shortly after the 8:30 CBC news. () 〔() NorthEast Radio Watch 2008-03-24〕〔() NorthEast Radio Watch 2008-04-07〕 CBA was the last AM station in eastern New Brunswick, and the CBC wanted to stop a drop in market share. CBAM was a former callsign of a defunct CBC low-power AM transmitter in Edmundston, New Brunswick, which converted to FM as CBAN-FM, an FM rebroadcaster of CBZF-FM. The original CBA transmitter site at the Tantramar Marshes near Sackville continued to broadcast Radio Canada International around the world on shortwave radio as well as relay broadcasts for several foreign shortwave broadcasters. For the purposes of CRTC licensing, the Sackville complex was designated under the call letters CKCX-SW.〔() CRTC Decision CRTC 2001-518 2001-08-24〕 The shortwave site discontinued broadcasts on December 1, 2012, after which its facilities were dismantled.〔http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2012/2012-602-1.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CBAM-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
