FM Bandscan - Silverdale, WA (10/1/2012)

You know I was just thinking about it this weekend. How did that get approved? I could maybe see it with CHHR and KAFE, but how did CFRO get approved on 100.5 with CKKQ on 100.3, especially when CKKQ is another blowtorch? Given the agreement with the borders that W9Y pointed out in another thread, I could maybe see 100.5 being a U.S. allocation, but how for Canada, especially when CKPM had to only operate with 1 kw? BTW, GL, the reason I think for the change in frequency is because they are trying to allocate 105.7 up there, see the thread I started a month or so ago. I do not understand though why they want so much power there, though.
 
The 100.3 Victoria / 100.5 Vancouver happened because the stations were co-owned by the Jim Pattison Radio Group. They were desperate to dump AM 600 in Vancouver and move it to FM. That application was approved because the Pattison folks were willing to bastardize the CKKQ signal into Vancouver and the Fraser Valley just so they could get another Vancouver FM stick. 100.5 The Peak hit the air in November of 2008.

More recently they threw a truckload of money and equipment at CFRO to swap 100.5 for 102.7 where The Peak now resides.
 
Dspinner has it right. Truckload of money, AND the truck, from the sounds of it.
