History
On November 28, 1994, Melvin Augustine (on behalf of a not-for-profit organization) received approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new native-language radio station at Big Cove, New Brunswick on the frequency of 101.5 MHz.[1] On February 25, 1998, the station received approval to change CFTI-FM's frequency from 101.5 MHz to 101.1 MHz and to increase the effective radiated power from 3 watts to 50 watts.[2]
On August 29, 2008, the CRTC approved Melvin Augustine's application for a one-year license renewal from September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009. [3] There are no known license renewals since 2009 and is uncertain of when the station may have left the air.
