CIGM-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts in Sudbury, Ontario. As of August 25, 2009, the station airs a contemporary hit radio format at 93.5 MHz on the FM dial with the branding Hot 93.5. The station is owned and operated by Newcap Broadcasting. ==History== The station first aired at 92.7 FM in 1965, with the call letters CKSO-FM, airing a more extensive schedule of CBC Radio programming than its AM sister station CKSO.〔("Sudbury Radio History Highlights" ). ''Sudbury Living'', July 23, 2013.〕 It adopted the CIGM calls and a country music format in 1978, after CBC Radio was granted a license for its own O&O station, CBCS-FM.〔 CIGM and CKSO were owned by Cambrian Broadcasting.〔 As part of Cambrian's sale of CKSO-TV to Mid-Canada Communications in 1979-80, the company's shareholders dissolved Cambrian and reincorporated themselves as a new company, called United Broadcasting, which retained ownership of the radio stations.〔 In 1986, United Broadcasting sold CKSO and CIGM to Telemedia.〔(Decision CRTC 86-862 )〕 On March 16, 1990, the CRTC approved Telemedia Communications Ontario Inc.'s application to amend the Promise of Performance for CIGM-FM Sudbury by changing the music format from Group III (Country and Country-Oriented) to Group IV (40% Pop and Rock-Softer; 60% Pop and Rock-Harder). 〔(Decision CRTC 90-246 ), Promise of Performance for CIGM-FM Sudbury, ''CRTC'', March 16, 1990〕 Two months later on May 18, 1990, CKSO and CIGM swapped frequencies. CIGM moved to CKSO's 790 slot on the AM dial, and CKSO took on the new call letters CJRQ and CIGM's 92.7 FM frequency. After the 1990 swap, the CKSO call sign no longer existed in the Sudbury area until an unrelated Christian music radio station (as CKSO-FM) began test transmissions in late 2002. In 2002, Telemedia was purchased by Standard Broadcasting. Shortly afterward, Standard sold CJRQ, CIGM and CJMX to Rogers Radio. In fall 2005, CIGM and sister station CKAT in North Bay underwent a format change, with country music cut back — although not entirely eliminated — in favour of increased news and sports programming. After the change, both stations used slogans such as "Today's Country", "News Leader" and "Sports Leader". 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「CIGM-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
