PRESS RELEASE RELEASE DATE:
Renfrew, Nov 21 — MBC is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with
Rogers Sports & Media to acquire radio stations CKOT-FM, CJDL-FM (Tillsonburg) and
CJET-FM (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.
The acquisition will strengthen MBC’s position as a leading media provider in each
region, adding significant value for listeners and advertisers by broadening the range
of content, local news coverage and expanding community involvement.
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.
