History

On December 13, 2010, the Haliburton Broadcasting Group applied to operate a new FM radio station in Kemptville at 97.5 MHz. This application received CRTC approval on April 21, 2011.[1]

The station is Kemptville's first local commercial FM radio station. The station launched on February 27, 2012.[2][3] The station was branded as Star 97.5.

It is also the third English-language AC station serving the National Capital Region; the others are CJMJ-FM and CJWL-FM.

On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns a number of radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital.[4] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.[5]

Moose FM

On October 23, 2020, the station once again changed its branding to 97.5 Moose FM retaining its variety hits format.

Technical Issues

The station may receive interference from a 97 kilowatt radio station, WFRY, out of Watertown, New York.[7] The 97.5 FM frequency was also used for a low-power tourism station in Ottawa with the call sign VF2516.[8]
