The application of CKBA-850 Athabasca AB to move to FM (94.1 MHz, 9 kW)
has been approved by the CRTC. Here in Calgary AB this is a tough
station to
log due to KOA but I do have them in the log (using a old
Hallicrafters S-118
receiver barefoot of all things early one evening a few years ago)

CKBA Athabasca - Conversion to FM band
1.
The Commission approves the application by 3937844 Canada Inc., a
subsidiary of Newcap Inc.,
for a broadcasting licence to operate a new English-language FM radio
programming undertaking
in Athabasca, Alberta to replace its AM station CKBA. There were no
interventions to this application.
The terms and conditions of licence for the new station are set out
in the appendix to this decision.
The implementation of the station is subject to the notification by
the Department of Industry
discussed in the appendix.
Simulcast period and revocation of AM licence
6.
As set out in the appendix to this decision, the applicant is
authorized to simulcast the programming
of the new FM station on CKBA Athabasca for a transition period of
three months following the
commencement of operations of the FM station. Pursuant to sections 9
(1)(e) and 24(1) of the Broadcasting Act,
and consistent with the licensee’s request, the Commission revokes
the licence for CKBA effective
at the end of the simulcast period.
The station will operate at 94.1 MHz (channel 231B1) with an
effective radiated power of 9,000 watts.
