CJRU, branded as The Scope at Ryerson, is a future low-powered AM campus and community radio station, owned and operated by Radio Ryerson Incorporated at Ryerson University in Toronto, which was granted a broadcast license by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on December 11, 2014. The station will broadcast on 1280 kHz with a signal strength of 99 watts.〔https://services.crtc.gc.ca/pub/DocWebBroker/OpenDocument.aspx?AppNo=201401497〕〔("Campus radio poised for a return to the dial" ). ''The Ryersonian'', September 12, 2014.〕〔("The Scope tries to catch some waves" ). ''The Eyeopener'', September 17, 2014.〕 Under the conditions of its license the station must commence AM broadcasting by December 2016 or seek an extension,〔 however the station's management states that they aim to begin terrestrial broadcasting by January 2016. The current license expires on August 31, 2021.〔 The 1280 AM frequency was previously used by CFBN. ==Background== The Scope has operated as an internet radio station since April 2013. In February 2014, an application was filed with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for an AM license. The CRTC held a hearing on September 25, 2014〔 and released its decision approving a license December 11, 2014.〔("Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2014-644" ). Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, December 11, 2014.〕 The internet station was started after Ryerson Radio's previous application to acquire a license for an FM license for CKLN-FM's former frequency of 88.1 MHz was rejected by the CRTC on September 11, 2012 in favour of indie rock station CIND-FM.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2012-485 ), Licensing of a new radio station to serve Toronto, ''CRTC'', September 11, 2012〕〔("Indie-rock station coming to Toronto" ). ''Toronto Star'', September 11, 2012.〕 Ryerson-based CKLN-FM had previously broadcast on 88.1 from 1983 to 2011 when the station lost its license due to compliance issues.〔("CKLN appeal shutdown" ). ''Toronto Star'', April 15, 2011.〕 The station contrasts itself from its predecessor, CKLN. According to volunteer co-ordinator Emily Joveski: “One of the stigmas associated with radio at Ryerson is some of the mistrust (some older students and faculty ) lingering from the previous station. But we are different. We are actually accessible to all students, and we will be a positive influence on Ryerson as well as the community.” The application to the CRTC was supported by intervenors such as musician Ron Sexsmith, Blue Rodeo founding member Bob Wiseman, Toronto city councillors Kristyn Wong-Tam, Mike Layton, Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland and the National Campus and Community Radio Association.〔 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「CJRU」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
