CHYK-FM

CHYK-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 104.1 FM in Timmins, Ontario.

It broadcasts a francophone hot adult contemporary format for the city's Franco-Ontarian community.

The station was originally established on December 23, 1951, by J. Conrad Lavigne, with the callsign CFCL at 580 kHz.

[2] In 1979, Lavigne again attempted to change CFCL's frequency and launch a new station in Sudbury.

[7] The Kapuskasing (AM 1230 kHz) rebroadcaster was in turn converted to FM 93.7 MHz in 2003 and later adopted its current callsign CHYX-FM.

[8] In 2008, Haliburton announced a deal to sell the CHYC stations to Le5 Communications, a firm owned by Sudbury lawyer Paul Lefebvre.

[10] On March 2, 2012, Le5 Communications received approval from the CRTC to change the authorized contours of the station's rebroadcaster in Hearst, by changing the antenna radiation pattern from directional to non-directional, increasing the average effective radiated power (ERP) from 140 to 172 watts (maximum ERP from 140 to 221 watts), decreasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 56.6 to 43 metres and relocating the antenna site.
