CFOB Coming to Atikokan


CFOB's broadcast area will become a little larger in the next few weeks.

The CRTC has given approval for CFOB to replace our sister station CKDR as the source of radio programming to Atikokan.

Vice-president of Acadia Broadcasting Jim MacMullin says it was a request that originated from residents in the community.

"The ties from Atikokan to Fort Frances are much stronger than they are between Dryden and Atikokan," says MacMullin. "That was the basis of the request by the municipality. The CRTC certainly took that into consideration very seriously."

MacMullin expects CFOB to be broadcasting in Atikokan by mid-September.
