CKMO-FM (101.5
CKMO-FM is the only Orangeville-based station to specifically target Orangeville; the town's only other licensed radio station, CIDC-FM, is marketed towards the entirety of the Greater Toronto Area.[2]
History
My Broadcasting previously submitted an application for the station in 2012 at the same frequency and parameters, but the application was soon withdrawn.[3]
On November 6, 2014 at 11:12 am, CKMO-FM began on air testing with Christmas music on 101.5 MHz.[4] In late December 2014, 101.5 FM switched from Christmas music to air 10,000 songs in a row.
On the morning of February 17, 2015, CKMO-FM launched its regular programming, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon with Mayor Jeremy Williams, Councillor Nick Garisto, and CKMO-FM General Manager Gail James.[5]
On June 25, 2021, the CRTC approved the sale of CKMO and its sister stations
