Note: CKPC 1380 applied to change format to Christian music (see MWN September 2019). CKPC applied to swap its country format with the Christian format of CFWC-93.9 FM Brantford. On 17th February 2020, CRTC approved this change, giving the stations until 17th February 2022 to complete the changes (CRTC decision 2020-63) (MWC via Canadian Radio News Facebook)
