CFRM-FM is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts at 100.7 FM in Little Current, Ontario, serving Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands. The station, a community radio outlet owned by Manitoulin Radio Communication, broadcasts a country music format branded as The Island. ==History== The station originally began operating in 2001 on 101.1 FM,〔(CRTC Decision 2001-578 ), New developmental community radio station, ''CRTC'', September 12, 2001〕 as Manitoulin's first local community radio station with a rock format including a mix of various formats such as oldies, classic hits, retro music with some current music branded as Rock'n the Rock. One of CFRM's mottos were ''"rock'n the rock"'' and ''"when the lights go out we stay on the air because we're powered by rock and roll"''. CFRM-FM received approval from the CRTC to increase its power from 1.4 watts to 5 watts on July 12, 2002 〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2002-186 ), CFRM-FM Little Current - Technical amendment, ''CRTC'', July 12, 2002〕 and received approval again on September 20, 2005 to increase power from 5 watts to 45 watts.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-470 ), CFRM-FM Little Current - Technical change, ''CRTC'', September 20, 2005〕 On October 23, 2006, CFRM-FM changes formats to its current country music format. On March 19, 2007, CFRM-FM moved from 101.1 FM to its current frequency at 100.7 FM with 1,830 watts.〔(CRTC Decision 2006-376 ), CFRM-FM Little Current - Technical change, ''CRTC'', August 16, 2006〕 In 2008, the station applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to add a rebroadcaster in Sudbury, citing that this "would allow Sudbury residents who own property on Manitoulin Island to stay connected by providing them with important information relating to local weather, marine and road reports and events specific to Manitoulin." That application was denied by the CRTC on April 29, 2008.〔(CRTC Decision 2008-90 ), CFRM-FM Little Current - New transmitter in Sudbury, ''CRTC'', April 29, 2008〕 On January 20, 2009, the station applied to change its authorized transmission contours by increasing the average effective radiated power from 1,830 watts to 27,500 watts, by decreasing the effective antenna height above average terrain from 164.5 metres to 155 metres. This would change the station's transmitter class from A to B.〔(Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2009-20 )〕 This application to change the ERP received approval on March 19, 2009.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2009-149 ), CFRM-FM Little Current - Technical change, ''CRTC'', March 19, 2009〕 In 2010 100.7 The Island FM won Radio Station of the Year in a Secondary Market at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards. 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「CFRM-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
