CFBC is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 930 AM in Saint John, New Brunswick. The station plays a country music format and is owned by Maritime Broadcasting System. ==History== CFBC's first broadcast was on November 21, 1946, and was an affiliate of the CBC Dominion Network until its dissolution in 1962. The callsign comes from the station's original owner, the Fundy Broadcasting Company (later known as Fundy Cable). CFBC-FM began operating in 1965 at 98.9 MHz; it is now known as CJYC-FM. MBS purchased CFBC and CJYC from Fundy in 1997. For several years, CFBC and, sister station, CJYC-FM's studios were on Carleton Street in Uptown Saint John. In the mid-1990s, CFBC and CJYC-FM moved their studios and offices to 199 Chesley Drive. In 1997, CFBC and CJYC-FM moved into MBS's facility on Union Street, where they are as of August 2011. In addition to the oldies format, CFBC is known for its news coverage, including the morning talk show ''Talk of the Town'' which went off the air in 2006. Unionized staff at CFBC and two other MBS stations in Saint John went on strike in June 2012, a strike that is on going, triggering calls for a boycott of the station's advertisers 〔(Requests for ad removal from striking radio stations, CBC News, Aug. 27, 2012 )〕 and leading strikers to set up an internet radio station.〔( Radio Free Saint John )〕 On August 15, 2013, CFBC dropped the Oldies format to flip to country after the flip of former sister station CJYC-FM from classic rock to classic hits. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CFBC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
