Everything about Chvr-fm totally explained
CHVR is a
Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 96.7
FM in
Pembroke, Ontario. The station airs a
country music format branded as
Star 96.
The station was originally launched in
1942 as
AM 1340
CHOV by Ottawa Valley Broadcasting. In the late 1940s CHOV moved to AM 1350. In
1961, Ottawa Valley also launched
CHOV-TV. The television station was purchased by
J. Conrad Lavigne in
1977, adopting the callsign CHRO and becoming part of the
MCTV system in
1980. In
1981, Mid-Canada Communications also purchased the radio station; it subsequently adopted the CHRO callsign as well.
In
1990, the MCTV television stations were sold to
Baton Broadcasting and the radio stations were sold to
Pelmorex. With the TV and radio stations now under different ownership again, the radio station adopted its current CHVR callsign. In
1991, Pelmorex also acquired
CKOA in
Arnprior and
CKOB in
Renfrew, both of which were converted to rebroadcasters of CHVR.
CHVR moved to its current frequency at 96.7 FM in
1996. Due to its signal strength, the Renfrew and Arnprior AM rebroadcasters were both discontinued. Prior to the change of CHVR from 1350 KHz to 96.7 MHz, the
CBC, known as
CBCD, had occupied 96.7 FM in Pembroke and changed to its current frequency at 92.5 FM.
The station was acquired by
Telemedia in
1998, and Telemedia was in turn bought out by
Standard Broadcasting in
2002.
In 2005 and 2006, Standard Broadcasting carried out a series of downsizing measures at CHVR-FM, eliminating the station's traffic and copy departments (centralizing them at CKQB-FM Ottawa) and downsizing the station's newsroom to one full-time and one part-time staffer.
In October 2007,
Astral Media acquired Standard Broadcasting's terrestrial radio and television assets, including CHVR.
