CIOO-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 100.1 FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The station uses the on-air brand name C100. It was owned by Toronto based CHUM Limited until that company's buy-out by CTVglobemedia in 2007, and then Bell Media in 2011. CIOO's studios are located at the intersection of Russell and Agricola Streets in Halifax (right behind TV sister CJCH), with its transmitter located on Washmill Lake Drive in Clayton Park. C100 competes with CFLT-FM. ==History== In 1976, Radio 920, Ltd., a division of CHUM Limited, applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for a new FM radio station broadcasting at 100,000 watts with a dial position of 100.1 MHz. This would be the third FM radio station in Halifax after FM stations CBC Stereo (CBH-FM) and CHFX-FM. Radio 920, Ltd. also owned CTV affiliate CJCH-TV and CJCH (AM). The CRTC subsequently approved the application. On November 1, 1977, C100 began broadcasting as an easy listening station (elevator music). As a new decade approached, C100 changed its programming format to album rock. This gave the listeners an opportunity to hear more than just the top 40 hits from a particular artist, such as other songs not yet on AM radio. In 1983, CHUM Limited tested a simulcast project. A new TV station, ASN, had aired in the province. Together with C100, they would air "Atlantic Canada's Choice" - a radio/TV program, hosted by Geoff Banks, counting down the week's best albums from 20 to 1. This lasted until spring 1985, where the station again reformatted its programming. The spring of 1985 saw the station take on another programming angle, Top 40 along with oldies, such as the Beach Boys among others. This format was phased out not long after, when the station moved towards AC. The station ran such slogans as "Lite Rock...Less Talk", "Great Light Rock Hits" and "...Even More Lite Rock Hits". CIOO moved to its current Hot AC format in 1993. Like most Hot AC stations in Canada, C100 leans rhythmic, though not as heavy as sister station CHUM-FM/Toronto. With sister station CJCH-FM adopting a Rhythmic/Dance Top 40 presentation, CIOO has modified towards a conventional Adult Top 40 direction. 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「CIOO-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
