[edit] Expansion
Evanov actively seeks new markets across Canada to establish radio properties for underserved demographics.
On March 16, 2011, Dufferin Communication, a licensee owned by Evanov, applied to operate a new FM radio station in Muskoka Lakes, Ontario. The CRTC denied Evanov's application on September 27, 2011. If the application was approved, the new station would operate a new adult contemporary format on the frequency 104.7 MHz. [2]
Dufferin was also one of the applicants for the 690 kHz frequency in Montreal previously occupied by CINF, with plans to launch a French-language radio station geared towards Montreal's LGBT community.[3] On November 21, 2011, Dufferin was awarded the 990 kHz frequency instead, which will become vacant after Bell Media's CKGM relocates to 690.[4]
In May 2011, Newcap Radio announced that it was selling its two stations in Winnipeg, CKJS and CHNK-FM, to Evanov; [5] the sale was approved on October 24, 2011. [6] On November 26, 2011 CFJL-FM became CHWE-FM and CHNK-FM became CFJL-FM.
On January 20, 2012, Evanov announced that Dufferin applied with the CRTC to establish a new Soft AC station in Hudson, Quebec, a western suburb of Montreal; the new station would broadcast at 106.7 MHz at 500 watts at 94 metres HAAT. The frequency choice, however, may conflict with CKDG-FM's plans to relocate to 106.7, the frequency previously used by an Aboriginal Voices repeater in Montreal.[7][8]
