On December 2, the CRTC approved the application by Seaway Campus Community Radio Station for a broadcasting licence for a low-power English-language FM Type B community radio programming undertaking at Iroquois. The licence would expire August 31, 2005. The station would broadcast from a studio located in a local high school. Programming would include news, reports from community groups, stories for children, messages from local clergy, sports and hobby features, talking books, agricultural information and programs directed to teens. The licensee planned to broadcast a minimum of 86 hours of local programming each week and would ensure that no more than 15% of the musical selections broadcast would be hits. At least 8% of the music played would be drawn from Category 3 music (Traditional and Special Interest). The new FM station would operate on the frequency 107.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 50 watts.
