What was CJOS?

CJOS 92.7 FM was a campus radio station at Briercrest College and Seminary that used to broadcast from Category:City-Caronport, Category:Saskatchewan

CJOS aired round-the-clock Christian programming, including music, talk programs, and news.

On February 22,1995 Briercrest Community Radio Inc. was awarded a licence for a English-language FM campus/community station at Caronport, operating on the 92.7 MHz frequency with an effective radiated power of 5 watts. The station would broadcast 126 hours of local programming per week and would be predominantly religious. The applicant was a company incorporated under the Saskatchewan non-profit Corporations Act and controlled by a board made up of six members. The station would be financed by Briercrest Bible College.

CJOS-FM signed on the air in August. Studios and offices were at Briercrest College and Seminary, 510 College Drive, Caronport.

CJOS went off the air permanently at noon April 25, 2006 due to a lack of interest and support.

At the request of Briercrest Community Radio Inc., the CRTC revoked the licence of community-based campus station CJOS-FM on May 17, 2006.
