On April 17, the CRTC approved the application by Eternacom Inc. for a broadcasting licence to carry on a low-power English-language FM radio programming undertaking at Sudbury, on the frequency 102.9 MHz, channel 275LP, with an effective radiated power of 33 watts. The licence would expire August 31, 2006. The applicant proposed a tourist information service. Programming would consist of recorded announcements regarding tourist attractions, community events and special activities. On occasion, the station would broadcast “live on location” in order to promote special events. Programming would consist of one-hour pre-recorded announcements repeated throughout each 24-hour period. In the area of music, there would be incidental background music only.

CKBB’s licence was set to expire August 31, 2014.

Our intent to chronicle the early days of these radio and television stations has been achieved, and many new sources and technologies, from the CRTC website to Wikipedia, and others, are now regularly providing new information in these areas.
