CBBX-FM is a Canadian radio station. It broadcasts theSociété Radio-Canada'sIci Musique network at 90.9FM 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] Some sources may incorrectly cite the station's call sign asCBOS-FM, the call sign that was assigned to the unlaunched 1984 license.
The CBC subsequently applied for a new license, which was awarded in 2000.[3] The station went on the air on April 20, 2001, approximately one month after the launch ofCBC Radio 2'sCBBS-FM.[4]
On June 29, 2007, the CBC was given approval to add arebroadcaster of CBBX inTimmins on 105.7 MHz.[5] As of 2015, however, the Timmins transmitter has not been launched, and due to recent funding cutbacks at the CBC its launch appears unlikely. On March 30, 2015, Eternacom, the owners of theChristian radio stationCJTK-FM Sudbury, received CRTC approval to add a new FM transmitter at Timmins to operate at 105.5 MHz,[6] which isfirst-adjacent to the unbuilt rebroadcaster of CBBX-FM.
In long-term expansion plans that the CBC has filed with the CRTC, the station was also slated to add rebroadcasters inHearst,Kapuskasing andNorth Bay, although no firm timeframe for this service expansion has been announced.
