Big news for My Broadcasting Corporation, the parent company of 105.7 in Strathroy as it was announced this week, it has entered into an agreement with Rogers Sports & Media to acquire radio stations CKOT-FM, CJDL-FM in Tillsonburg and CJET-FM in Smiths Falls. This acquisition is part of MBC’s strategic growth initiative, solidifying its commitment to providing enhanced regional content and expanding its presence in both the Ottawa Valley and Southwestern Ontario. MBC owns and operates 19 radio stations and digital news sites across Ontario and are committed to delivering high-quality local content and engaging programming. Upon approval of all transactions before the CRTC, MBC will grow to 26 stations.
Jon Pole, President of MBC, shared his enthusiasm for the new chapter: “The addition of these stations strengthens our regional coverage in both South Western Ontario and The Ottawa Valley. CKOT-FM and CJDL-FM will fill a void between our St. Thomas and Simcoe Operations, and CJET-FM will make a perfect combo with 88.1 myFM in Perth. We’re excited to continue to expand our local news coverage and community
involvement in Smiths Falls and Tillsonburg. We appreciate that Rogers Sports & Media shared our vision for these markets, and made this deal possible.”
The transaction is subject to approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Further details will be provided as the process moves forward.
