2004
On June 9, the CRTC approved the application by Western Singh Sabha Association to operate a low-power specialty FM (ethnic and religious) radio station in Williams Lake. The station would operate at 94.3 MHz (channel 232LP) with an effective radiated power of 35 watts. WSSA was a non-profit, charitable organization. The new station would primarily target the Sikh and Hindu communities of Williams Lake, and would be run by volunteers, with revenues being generated through listener donations. Approximately 90% of all programming broadcast would be ethnic programming. The station would also broadcast 60 hours per week of religious spoken word programming. Local programming would include news, weather and reporting of local events in Williams Lake. The licence would expire August 31, 2010.

Effective September 1st 2019, we will only be adding new material to these station histories in exceptional circumstances. 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.
