CRTC called the shots for the launch of the radio to be operated on 95.7 MHz using an ERP of 50,000 watts rejecting request by five other applicants. Apart from music the programing proposed by the authorities was enough to persuade the CRTC with a public affairs show on weekdays, a weekly on hour dedicated to social issues concerning natives, and a student run show. On Oct 7, 1989 the station was launched from the studios at 400 Bayfield Street. The transmitter site was relocated in Nov 1989. This followed an approval in decrease of ERP to 45,500 w in April 1992. Douglas Bingley the prime share-holder in the company was granted the transfer of control through a newly incorporated Ontario Inc. Amendments were made in the license when approval was given to increase the power to 96,300 w strengthening the signal in Barrie.
