CJRP-FM
CJRP-FM (branded as CKO-2) is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting a Christian country music format at 103.5 FM in Saint John, New Brunswick.
CJRP-FM also has a low-power rebroadcast transmitter, CJRP-FM-1 95.1 MHz in Rothesay, serving the Kennebecasis Valley. This is due to the low power of the transmitter in Saint John and was built and put into use by the previous owner, Geoffrey Rivett, to widen the reach of the station.
History
On February 14, 2003, Tom Gamblin, on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated (TFG Communications), received Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approval to operate a new English language FM radio station at Saint John. CJRP would begin broadcasting later that year as CFHA-FM, originally branded as Comedy Radio 103.5.
On March 23, 2006, Thomas F. Gamblin sold TFG Communications to Geoffrey Rivett.
In May 2006, Comedy Radio 103.5 was re-branded as 103.5 The Pirate, with a diverse mix of rock and urban music and adopted its CJEF-FM callsign.
