History

The station, CKNB originally signed on the air on December 27, 1939 at 1210 AM until it moved to AM 1240 in 1941, and then settled to its AM position at 950 kc in 1942.

When CKNB was on AM 950, the station was heard over much of Atlantic Canada at night, using a good radio.

On July 9, 2021, Maritime Broadcasting System submitted an application to convert CKNB to 100.7 MHz with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 2,570 watts (maximum ERP of 5,330 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 182.3 metres).[1] This application was approved on January 26, 2022.[2]
