Corus Entertainment Receives CRTC Approval on the Acquisition of Ottawa Radio Stations CKQB-FM and CJOT-FM

We are pleased to announce that Corus received CRTC approval to acquire the Ottawa radio stations CKQB-FM (106.9 The BEAR) and CJOT-FM (boom 99.7). The acquisition will close on January 31, 2014.

We are excited about Corus’ entry into the fourth largest English radio market in Canada. Operating in Ottawa has been a long-stated goal for Corus and the acquisition of 106.9 The BEAR and boom 99.7 strengthens our position in Canada’s major markets.

106.9 The BEAR is an active rock format and boom 99.7 is a classic hits station. The addition of these two stations is consistent with our growth strategy and we look forward to welcoming 106.9 The BEAR and boom 99.7 to Corus.
