History

The station originally began broadcasting in 1940 at 1370 kHz, and changed frequencies to 1400 kHz on March 29, 1941 and again to 1470 kHz in 1947. In 1958, CFOS again changed frequencies from 1470 to its current frequency at 560 kHz.

On June 21, 1978, CFOS opened a semi-satellite station CFPS-AM at Port Elgin and CFPS was given approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in 2005 to convert to the FM band at 97.9 MHz.

In 1994, CFOS applied to operate a new operate a rebroadcaster at Collingwood on the frequency 1610 kHz. That application was denied on March 8, 1995.[1]

In 2007, CFOS applied to add an FM signal at 96.1 MHz to rebroadcast the AM signal; the CRTC denied this application in February 2008.[2]

gollark: I don't use YouTube very much, and the main focus is the video anyway. Also, I had no idea that YouTube had a dark mode.
gollark: > i wonder how much google can tell about some1 just from their viewing habitsWell, they probably combine those with a bunch of other data. Like location, stuff installed on phone, search history, that sort of thing.
gollark: I mean, I already watched the new one, so I suppose it has evolved beyond those advert recommendation systems which show you ads for stuff you already bought.
gollark: Huh, I just opened YouTube and the very first thing there was the IR death ray video, video.
gollark: Huh. That is a... vaguely worrying amount of information, but I guess Google does that.
