Mississauga radio station gets CRTC approval

Mississauga is set to get its own radio station, a development the new 
owners hailed as long overdue.
The station, which will offer a news/talk format, will be run by a group led 
by Elliott Kerr, president of the Mississauga-based Landmark Sport Group.

"Mississauga is a city in its own right, a fact that is often forgotten 
given our location next to Canada's largest market," Mr. Kerr said, noting 
thousands of people signed petitions and wrote letters in support of the new 
station. "With close to 800,000 residents, it is the only city of this size 
in the country without an English-language radio station of its own - until 
now."

After being licensed by the CRTC this week, AM 960 will be up and running by 
spring at the earliest, spokesman Debra McLaughlin said.

The station will be dedicated to local news and information, from city 
council coverage to business to community social events.
The ownership group was still in the process of looking for a facility and 
staff, Ms. McLaughlin said.
