CKOA (AM)

CKOA (AM)

CKOA-AM is a former radio station in Arnprior, Ontario that broadcast at AM 1490 kHz.

On February 14, 1985, Opeongo Broadcasting Co. Ltd. received approval for a new AM station at Arnprior. The new station would broadcast on 1490 kHz with a power of 250 watts. CKOA would simulcast programming of CKOB out of Renfrew, Ontario. CKOA signed on later in the year. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1985/DB85-101.HTM Decision CRTC 85-101] ]

In 1990, CKOA became CHVR-2, as CKOB Renfrew became CHVR-1 and both stations were then re-broadcasters of CHVR-AM in Pembroke.

In 1996, CHVR and the former CKOA and CKOB were combined into a new FM radio station at 96.7 MHz as CHVR-FM out of Pembroke to serve the Ottawa Valley. All three AM transmitters were deleted after the new FM station signed on. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1994/DB94-933.HTM Decision CRTC 94-933] ]
