CJDL-FM is an FM radio station licensed to Tillsonburg, Ontario which broadcasts at 107.3 FM. ==History== The station was originally licensed on April 26, 1955 and aired four days later at 1510 kHz on the AM dial. The station was owned by John B. Lamers, Sr., Ken Orton, and four other shareholders under the name of Tillsonburg Broadcasting Company, Limited. The transmitter and two high towers were located in Lot 16, Concession 2, of Middleton Township in Norfolk County. The station was a daytimer (operating only during the day) for much of its existence and was also the last remaining Canadian daytime-only station still in operation until it shut down its AM side in 2013. CJDL operates a predominantly classic country music format with some current country hits. Since CKMX dropped its country format in 2013, CJDL is also one of the last radio stations in Canada to still play classic country on a regular basis (CFCW in Camrose, Alberta is another). In 1958, the station was granted permission to increase to 1,000 watts of power (in the daytime only), using one tower. John B. Lamers would become the sole owner of CKOT when he bought out his partners four years later. CKOT gained a sister station in 1965, when CKOT-FM signed on. The FM station originally served as a simulcast/rebroadcast transmitter of CKOT. CKOT-FM would eventually become so successful, it would be spun off into its own radio station in 1970. CKOT-FM would adopt the Sound of Music format of music, while CKOT would remain as "Active, Lively, Community Information Radio." In 1973, the station requested a change of frequency from 1510 to 1600 kHz, which had been vacated by CJRN in Niagara Falls. The request was denied, and the frequency ultimately went to CFRS (Now CHCD-FM) in nearby Simcoe, Ontario. On July 11, 1974, CKOT was granted approval to increase its daytime-only power on 1510 kHz from 1,000 watts to 10,000 watts. It was also given approval to move its transmitter location roughly 10 miles (16 kilometres) to Glen Meyer, southeast of Tillsonburg. On May 17, 1988, CKOT was finally able to end its status as a daytimer, and add a night-time signal on the same frequency (to operate 24/7).〔(Decision CRTC 88-353 )〕 The station was given permission to double its power to 20,000 watts as well. However, these changes were not implemented due to American technical objections from stations across the lake that feared possible signal interference. 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「CJDL-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
