CJET-FM (92.3 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Smiths Falls, Ontario, and serving the Ottawa Valley and National Capital Region. The station is owned by Rogers Radio, a division of Rogers Sports & Media. It broadcasts a temporary Christmas music format and is branded as Santa Radio.[1]
CJET-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 9,300 watts (17,000 watts maximum), horizontal polarization only. The transmitter is on Ontario Highway 15 near Line Road 7 in Beckwith, Ontario.[2] On October 26, 2023, the station swapped call letters with its sister station, switching from CKBY-FM to CJET-FM, after the sister station abandoned its CityNews Radio format. CJET-FM is to switch to a new music format later in 2023. [3]
History
The station was launched in 1955 by Rideau Broadcasting as CJET, at 1070 AM, and played a country format. Prior to signing on, the station would have been known as CFRL = "Rideau Lakes" it was changed to CJET when the station signed on. It began broadcasting in a daytime-only capacity On October 22, 1955.[4] In 1958, the station's frequency changed to 630 AM.
In 1969, CJET-FM was launched at 101.1 FM as a stereo simulcast of the AM signal.
In 1984, the AM and FM stations were sold to Harvey Glatt's CHEZ-FM Inc., which was subsequently acquired by Rogers Communications, the stations' current owner, in 1999. On March 21, 2000, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved Rogers' application to convert CJET from the AM band (630 kHz) to the FM band at 92.3 MHz. [5] On October 14, 2001, CJET-FM began testing at 92.3 MHz and launched on October 27 as Country 92. CJET's 630 AM transmitter was later shut down.[6] The station adopted an adult hits format as 92.3 Jack FM in 2004.[7][8]
On December 3, 2020, CJET returned to country as Country 92.3, taking on the format and programming of CKBY-FM (both stations would also swap callsigns) after its flip to all-news radio as a simulcast of CIWW.[7][9] The two stations also swapped call letters.[3]
On October 26, 2023 at 1:00 pm, the country format was reverted back to CKBY-FM (along with the callsign change) after Rogers decided to discontinue the CityNews format in Ottawa. After the two frequencies simulcasted for several days, 92.3 would begin stunting on November 1 with Christmas music for the holiday season as Santa Radio, utilizing the brand and format of a live webstream under that name launched by Rogers on that day. A new format is expected to debut after the holidays. [10]
