History

On October 6, 2004, the CRTC approved the Chase and District Lions Community Club's application to operate an English-language developmental community FM radio station, broadcasting at 103.5 MHz with an effective radiated power of 4.7 watts.[1] The station commenced broadcasting in 2005.

Ownership was transferred to the Chase and District Community Radio Society in 2007.

On August 1, 2008, The CRTC approved the Radio Society's application for a regular, English-language, low-power Type B community FM radio station.[2]

CFCH-FM ceased broadcasting on August 31, 2014, citing lack of support for the community station. The group applied to the CRTC to revoke their broadcasting license, which was approved October 14, 2014.[3]

CFCH was a former callsign used at a radio station in North Bay, Ontario, known today as CKAT. On May 25, 2020, Vista Radio, who owns CFXN-FM, was approved to operate a new FM radio station at North Bay and will be reusing the heritage CFCH call sign in that city.
