CJMS is a French language Canadian radio station located in Saint-Constant, Quebec (near Montreal). It broadcasts on 1040 kHz with a daytime power of 10,000 watts and a nighttime power of 5,000 watts as a class B station, using a directional antenna with the same directional pattern day and night to protect WHO in Des Moines, Iowa. It transmits from the same site CKGM used when it was on 980 kHz near Autoroute 30 in Saint-Constant. The station has a format which is part-time country music and part-time talk and infomercials. Despite having advertising itself as a country-formatted station, it was generally viewed as a talk/infomercial station which airs country music in non-key dayparts. CJMS has no direct link whatsoever with the old CJMS 1280 which closed on September 30, 1994. The call sign CJMS was chosen as the original plan was to use the 1280 kHz frequency, which was allocated instead by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to multilingual station CFMB. Despite this, CJMS deliberately went on the air on April 25, 1999, 45 years to the day after the original CJMS began operations.〔(Decision CRTC 99-69 )〕 ==History of Non-Compliance== During a period of several years beginning in the early-2000s, CJMS had a history of chronic non-compliance of its license terms. Such violations have included failures to submit logger tapes, submit annual reports, meet French-language music quotas, provide a proper Canadian talent development contribution, broadcast local news, and provide a list of its musical selections. The CRTC had summoned the station's owners to a hearing at its Gatineau headquarters on November 5, 2013 to discuss its actions, due to the station's continual non-compliance.〔(Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2013-448-1, September 6, 2013. )〕〔(Fagstein: "CRTC threatens to pull licence of CJMS 1040", September 6, 2013. )〕 At the hearing, station owner Alexandre Azoulay claimed that the non-compliance was due to his father, who was suffering from dementia. He also mentioned that he was also in the process of selling CJMS to another broadcaster, who owns one other station in the region, though he refused to say who that party was. The board then explained that the CRTC usually does not transfer or amend licenses of stations that were found out of compliance. Azoulay then agreed to provide documentation of the sale to the board within 24 hours after the hearing.〔(Fagstein: "CJMS blames non-compliance on father’s dementia, says station has been sold", November 6, 2013. )〕 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「CJMS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
