BYRNES COMMUNICATIONS WINS WOODSTOCK LICENSE Byrnes Communications Release Today, the CRTC awarded an FM broadcasting license for the city of Woodstock, ON to Byrnes Communications Inc. The frequency is one of the last available in Southern Ontario. “We are truly humbled by the speed with which the CRTC released its decision” says Chris Byrnes the company President. “We are proud to be chosen to deliver local news and information as well as the best of today’s adult music to the people of Oxford County.”
On June 6, several companies applied for a station to serve Woodstock and Oxford County and the Commission has selected the Byrnes application. Gord Marratto, the General Manager of the new station says, “The CRTC allows successful applicants 12 months to become operational, but we will do our best to be on-air in less than 6 months.”
The new radio station will be at 104.7 on the FM dial and will broadcast 24 hours a day from studios in Woodstock. The emphasis will be on local news and information. It will also feature adult music by such artists as Phil Collins, Sarah McLachlan, Elton John, Celine Dion, Maroon 5 and others.
