Last month, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) ruled that the station, call sign CJJC/Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada, (98.5 FM) may not migrate from Christian music to variety or new oldies as it had applied to do last year. The CRTC considered three issues in coming to its conclusion of denying the application: whether there is compelling economic need, whether it would significantly impact other stations financially and whether it would undermine the commission’s integrity.
