CHUM has applied to flip CKLC 1380 Kingston and CKPT 1420 Peterborough to FM. Both stations would drop their existing Standards format in favour of a Gold Based Soft AC format.

In Dartmouth-Halifax Newcap has applied to flip CFDR 680 to FM. The format will change from Classic Country to Alternative Rock. This could prove a bit tricky for Newcap as they currently own CFRQ (Q104) and have a 50% interest in CKUL (KOOL FM) in the Halifax market. They have asked for an exemption to the CRTC's 2 FM's per market policy. If the exemption is not approved they will divest their 50% interest in CKUL.

CKLC-FM would flip to hot AC as Kool FM, with their playlist being similar to CHUM-FM, and fill the void left when The Border became a Watertown-only station.
