History

On November 28, 1994, Melvin Augustine (on behalf of a not-for-profit organization) received approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new native-language radio station at Big Cove, New Brunswick on the frequency of 101.5 MHz.[1] On February 25, 1998, the station received approval to change CFTI-FM's frequency from 101.5 MHz to 101.1 MHz and to increase the effective radiated power from 3 watts to 50 watts.[2]

The call letters "CFTI" was a former callsign that was used at a radio station in Timmins, Ontario from 1976-1992 and is known today as CJQQ-FM. CFTI-FM/CJQQ-FM Timmins has no relation to the current CFTI-FM in Big Cove.

gollark: Yes, and that's fine if phones have sensible headphone jacks like mine does.
gollark: Regular wired ones are, what, *£5*?!
gollark: REASONABLY PRICED?!
gollark: Great, I should pay money for an inferior solution!
