CJAM 99.1 FM was launched in 1977 and operated by the Student Media/University of Windsor Corporation. It was Canada Student Radio Windsor (CSRW), a carrier’s current AM station. CJAM changed from a high-power FM station to a low-power FM station in November 1983. The Canadian radio channel is now on-air on Trillium Cable at 91.9 FM and 91.5 FM. It broadcast at 50 watts from 1983 through 1996.
The station covers the areas of west and downtown Windsor and metro Detroit; reached other parts of Windsor, LaSalle, Riverside, and Detroit suburbs to varying degrees of clarity. It increased power to 500 watts in 1996. This makes it possible to be heard clearly throughout the majority of Windsor and its surroundings. CRTC granted approval to CJAM to move to a new frequency at 99.1 in March 2009. CRTC also granted “protected status” to the station’s new home. Following a successful application for a power increase through the CRTC, CJAM was able to quadruple its broadcasting power in 2014. Now, the station broadcast at 2084 watts.
General Mandate
CJAM is a non-profit campus-based community radio station. It offers music and information programming unavailable from Detroit’s and Windsor’s traditional commercial media. In addition, the station serves people and groups within the community who are underrepresented by mainstream media by allowing a forum to communicate their views.
Broadcast Coverage
CJAM is no longer obliged to have a directional antenna, unlike its prior antenna at 91.5 FM. This makes full omnidirectional broadcasting possible.
