CJJC-FM is a Christian music radio station that operates at 98.5 FM in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Owned by Dennis M. Dyck, the station was licensed in 2005.[1]
On December 19, 2005, at midnight, the station signed on as 100.5 The Rock and officially began broadcasting on January 2, 2006.
On August 14, 2008, the licensee proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency from 100.5 MHz (channel 263LP) to 98.5 MHz (channel 253B).[2] That application was denied on December 5, 2008.[3]
On July 14, 2011, 101056012 Saskatchewan Ltd. received CRTC approval to change CJJC-FM's frequency from 100.5 MHz (channel 263LP) to 98.5 MHz (channel 253B). The licensee also proposed to change the authorized contours by relocating its transmitter and increasing the effective radiated power (ERP) from 44.8 to 50,000 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 118 metres). This power increase would result in a change of CJJC-FM's status from a low-power unprotected station to a class B station.[4]
In late 2011 or early 2012, CJJC-FM moved from 100.5 FM to 98.5 FM.
