CJUL
CJUL was an English-language Canadian radio station located in Cornwall, Ontario.
Owned and operated by Corus Entertainment, it broadcast on 1220 kHz with power of 1,000 watts as a class C station, using an omnidirectional antenna. The station broadcast from 1945 to 2010.
The AM radio station in Cornwall originally signed on as CKSF at 1230 kHz in 1945, launched by the Cornwall Standard Freeholder. CKSF later moved to 1220 kHz in the 1950s. It was later converted to CJSS, which converted to the FM dial at 101.9 FM in 1999. Subsequently, rather than go dark, the AM 1220 frequency became home to CJUL, which debuted an adult standards format under the name "The Jewel".
On November 19, 2001, the CRTC approved the application by Corus Entertainment Inc. to purchase Tri-Co Broadcasting Ltd. (519957 Ontario Ltd.) from the Émard family. Tri-Co was owner of CJUL, CFLG-FM and CJSS-FM.
The station later changed to a combination talk radio / oldies format branded as AM1220, Today's News, Yesterday's Hits. Half of the station's weekday broadcast was featured talk programming including newsmagazines John Bolton's Cornwall Today and Cornwall@5. The nationally syndicated Adler On-Line with Charles Adler aired from 3pm to 5pm local time. The remainder of the day, the station played oldies from the 1960s and 1970s.
