CJRO-FM is a radio station which broadcasts a community radio format on the frequency 107.7 FM (MHz) in Carlsbad Springs, Ontario, Canada.

History[]

The station originally began as a tourist information radio station in 2017.

Owned by Carlsbad Springs Community Association, the station received CRTC approval to operate a low-power, english and french-language community FM radio station in Carlsbad Springs, Ontario, and with a low-power FM rebroadcasting transmitter in Vars on May 7, 2019.[1]

The station officially launched on January 11, 2020 [2] and also operates an FM rebroadcaster on 107.9 FM at Vars, Ontario. On November 9, 2020, the station received CRTC approval to add another FM transmitter in Embrun, Ontario at 107.7 MHz (channel 299LP) with an effective radiated power of 40 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 69 metres).[3][4]

On May 3, 2021, Carlsbad Springs Community Association applied to add a new FM transmitter at Sarsfield, Ontario which would operate at 107.9 MHz with only two watts of power. The CRTC approved the application on October 4, 2021.[5]
