History
[edit]On April 25, 2019, Five Amigos Broadcasting Inc. received an approval from the CRTC to operate a new FM radio station at Listowel on 100.1 MHz with 4,900 watts (maximum ERP of 8,000 watts with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 83 metres).[1]
On September 15, 2020, the station officially launched as Perth County's Hottest Country - 100.1 The Ranch.[2]
The callsign CHLP was used at a former radio station in Montreal from the 1930s to the 1950s, as well as a BCTV reboradcaster in McLure, British Columbia[3]. It is unknown if the callsign was used at another radio or television station until its current use in Listowel in 2020.
