History

On July 16, 1999, 1311831 Ontario Limited received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to operate a new English language FM tourist information radio station to serve North Bay at 104.9 MHz.[1] The station either signed on later the same year or in 2000.

On May 25, 2005, 1311831 Ontario Limited received CRTC approval to increase CKTR-FM's effective radiated power from 31 watts to 50 watts and to relocate the transmitter.[2]

On June 5, 2006, the CRTC renewed CKTR-FM's licence from September 1, 2006 to August 31, 2013.[3] The station is currently off the air. A new Facebook page for North Bay Radio - FM 104.9 was launched in January 2010 but hasn't been updated since March of that same year.[4] As well the station's website is offline.
