[IRCA] CKRU-980 Peterborough ON applies to move to FM

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CKRU-980 Peterborough ON has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (96.7  
MHz,
6 kW, 273.2 meters).

Several applications for new FM stations on 96.7 MHz in Peterborough and
area are also before the CRTC, so approval of this move is by no  
means a given.

CKRU was the first station between Toronto and Kingston, going
on the air May 1942 as CHEX-1430.
