History

On May 10, 2000, Donald E. Mabee, on behalf of a company to be incorporated and to be known as Newsong Communications received Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approval to operate a new low-power Christian music FM station at Saint John, New Brunswick.[1] The station began broadcasting in early 2001. Its first program director was Gary Stackhouse, who was instrumental in the launch of the station.

On October 18, 2005, the CRTC approved the application by New Song Communications Ministries Ltd. to effect a corporate reorganization that would result in the applicant acquiring the assets of CINB-FM from New Song Communications Ltd.[2]

On July 26, 2019, the CRTC approved an application by New Song Communications Ministries Ltd. to operate a low-power, English-language community FM radio station in Saint John, New Brunswick on the frequency 96.1 MHz (channel 241A) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 1,726 watts (maximum ERP of 2,500 watts with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 29.8 metres).[3]
