History

On September 11, 2008, Tantramar Community Radio Society was denied a licence to operate a new community radio station at Amherst.[1] On June 15, 2009, Tantramar Community Radio Society received Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approval to operate a new FM community radio station at Amherst. The new station would operate at 107.9 MHz (channel 300B1), with an effective radiated power of 6,500 watts (non-directional antenna/effective height of antenna above average terrain of 123 metres).[2]

On July 21, 2011, at 1:07pm, CFTA-FM 107.9 signed on the air with a test broadcast.
