CBBS-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts theCanadian Broadcasting Corporation'sCBC Music network on 90.1FM inSudbury,Ontario.
The station was originally licensed by theCRTC in 1984.[1] However, due to financial constraints at the CBC, the station was never launched, and the CBC was forced in 1991 to surrender all of its non-operating licenses.[2] The license surrender left Sudbury as one of the largest cities in all of Canada not served by the CBC's music network.[3]
The CBC subsequently applied for a new license, which was awarded in 2000,[4] and the station launched on March 29, 2001.[5] The network'sTake Five, hosted byShelley Solmes, broadcast from theArt Gallery of Sudbury the day of the station's launch.[5]
At present, the station only broadcasts in Sudbury. In long-term expansion plans that the CBC has filed with the CRTC, the station was slated to add rebroadcasters inElliot Lake,Iron Bridge,Kapuskasing,Little Current,North Bay,Sault Ste. Marie,Temiskaming Shores,Timmins andWawa; however, no firm timeframe for this service expansion has been announced.
