102.3 FM CINA Radio is a Canadian radio station broadcasting a mixture of ethnic/multilingual and English language programming and music in Windsor, Ontario. An antenna on the station directs its broadcasts northwest and southeast in order to shield nearby stations using the same frequency. The nearby channels are CHST FM in London; WGRT in Port Huron, Michigan; WPOS FM in Toledo, Ohio, and WFXN FM in Galion, Ohio. As a result, the coverage region includes ethnic groups in Windsor and Detroit, Michigan. It has effective radiator power of 1900 watts average and 5,000 watts peak with a class A station. The station’s original name is CINA FM which Neeti P. Ray owns. It airs 24 hours transmission throughout the world via live streaming on the internet.
History of 102.3 FM CINA Radio
The (CRTC) Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission granted partial permission in 2008 to Neeti P. Ray on behalf of a corporation that was going to be formed. The permission was to operate a new ethnic FM radio channel, CJNR FM, at 95.9 MHz in Windsor. Blackburn Radio’s CJWF-FM, which began in November 2009, was given the 95.9 MHz frequency instead.
In 2009, the Commission granted the CBC’s request to move CBC Radio One outlet CBE from 1550 kHz to 97.5 MHz. This decision rendered their original plans to set up a nested transmitter at 102.3 useless. As a result, by September 2011, the 102.3 MHz frequency was open for use. Ray submitted a request on December 13, 2011, to allow CJNR-FM to use the frequency of 102.3 MHz. on March 2, 2012, CRTC approved the application. On September 6, 2012, the station began operation after switching to the CINA-FM call sign.
Programming
The station airs programming in various languages such as German, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Arabic, Assyrian, Cantonese, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Macedonian. However, 80% of its transmission is in Arabic.
