CHLR (AM)
CHLR was defunct French-language private radio station in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, which broadcast at 1380 kHz on the AM band from 1981 to 1985. History In 1980, Rufino Landry on behalf of a company to be incorporated (would be known as Radio-Aboiteaux ltée), received approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new French-language AM radio station at Moncton. CHLR would be the first private French radio station in Moncton with a power of 10,000 watts. Also the same year, a competing application by Edward J.

In 1984, CHLR was authorized to become an affiliate of the network operated by Télémédia Communications Inc. Most of CHLR's staff was laid off in November of the same year due to financial difficulties. From its inception, CHLR had difficulty attracting sufficient audience and revenues to mak ...

Radio Stations Disestablished In 1985
Radio is the technology of communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 3 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves. They can be received by other antennas connected to a radio receiver; this is the fundamental principle of radio communication. In addition to communication, radio is used for radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like air ...
