CHMT-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 93.1 FM in Timmins, Ontario. The station, owned by Haliburton Broadcasting Group, broadcasts an Classic Hits format as Moose FM. The Haliburton Broadcasting Group was licensed by the CRTC in February 2001 to open up a new English language commercial FM radio station in Timmins.〔(Decision CRTC 2001-48 )〕 The station originally launched in 2001 as an adult contemporary station branded as Mix 93. Some contemporary hit radio musical selections were dayparted into evening and overnight periods. However, around the same time as CHMT's launch in 2001, Telemedia moved the competing CKGB to FM as well, flipping from a country to an adult contemporary format. Briefly, CHMT responded by playing at least one country song an hour; eventually, amid competition between the two stations for audience share and advertising revenue, CHMT adopted the Moose FM name and a country music format in 2002. In 2005, Haliburton won a license for a new FM station at 106.3 in North Bay, for which they proposed a format based on that of CHMT. The station launched in 2006 under the call letters CFXN. On March 13, 2006, after a day of stunting in which it played entirely Shania Twain music, the station dropped country music for adult hits as "Timmins' best of whatever, The Moose 93.1 FM." On April 5, 2011, Haliburton Broadcasting applied to the CRTC to increase CHMT-FM's signal from 3,600 to 16,400 watts, by increasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 75.8 to 95 metres, and by changing its class from A to B1. This was approved on June 3, 2011.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2011-359 )〕 On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns a number of radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital.〔("Westerkirk Capital Acquires Vista and Haliburton Broadcast Groups" ). ''Broadcaster'', April 26, 2012.〕 The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2012-577 ) Various radio programming undertakings – Acquisition of assets, ''CRTC'', October 19, 2012〕 ==References== 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「CHMT-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
