Updates
Hello, I'm Andy McNabb, CEO of McNabb Broadcasting Peterborough - owner of FM 90.5, and former owner of CKLY Radio Lindsay (click here for profile).
I met with our engineers at the tower site; and we are making plans for installation at our new tower site on Greencrest Drive in Peterborough.
To receive updates as new developments occur, send us an e-mail: info@FM905.ca.
What's Coming - New Format, New Tower Site
You'll hear the station's new format of local news every hour; daily, local, call-in talk shows on matters of local importance, faith and family, giving Peterborough citizens a local voice; plus uplifting and inspiring Christian talk and bible teaching programs.
We'd also like to give your favourite local charity/not-for-profit organization thousands in free advertising (see "What We Want To Do For You", below).
Recent History
On Dec. 3, 2009, the CRTC approved the station's application for a new tower site. On June 26, 2009, the CRTC approved my purchase of Peterborough radio station CKKK (formerly known as CKKK FM a/k/a KAOS Radio). Read the decision here.
Immediately following the CRTC's approval of the purchase, the station's new call letters were changed to CJMB FM.

3. The church is local, therefore it needs a local voice - the station will reflect local interests, giving local people a platform to contribute on matters of faith and family.
