CJMO-FM

On August 5, 1986, J.R. Gordon, representing a company to be incorporated (would be known as Atlantic Stereo Ltd.) was given approval to operate a new FM station at Moncton.

[1] CJMO-FM was owned by a group of Moncton businessmen, headed by Rick Gordon, then an 18-year veteran of broadcasting.

The studio building, in a new facility on Arsenault Court in the Moncton Industrial Park, provided 8,400 square feet of space on two floors.

[3] The station started test transmissions at its frequency of 103.1 MHz at the beginning of 1987, by which it played non-stop album tracks.

Noteworthy, within its first six months on the air, CJMO was nominated as Medium Market FM Station of the Year at the annual Canadian Music Week.

[3] Some of the original on-air personality: Al Roberts from CKTS in Sherbrooke was morning host; Tom Brown was Afternoon Drive, Kevin Clements was Evenings, Gerry Proctor was news director; and Marty Kingston (from CKEY Toronto and formerly of CKCW/CFQM) was sports director.
