CJLF-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting a Contemporary Christian music format on 100.3 FM in Barrie, Ontario. Using the on-air brand name Life 100.3, the station was founded by Scott Jackson in August 1999 and is owned by Trust Communications Ministries, Inc, which is based in Barrie, Ontario.[1]

On August 27, 2006, CJLF-FM increased its power from 1.8 kW to 18.7 kW.[2] The power was further increased to 40 kW in January 2007.

Programming

In addition to locally oriented programming, the station has produced nationally syndicated programs like the CT-20 countdown of Christian music hits.

Expansion

Trust Communications applied twice for a new station in Kitchener-Waterloo with its own schedule and studios, but these applications were rejected in favour of CJTW-FM.[3][4]

Trust Communications applied for a transmitter to serve the Inuit residents of Iqaluit, Nunavut with the first Christian station in the territory (which would rebroadcast CJLF-FM); however, this application was rejected.[5]

On September 28, 2011, the CRTC denied Trust's application to increase CJLF-FM-1's power in Owen Sound.[6]

On January 28, 2011, the CRTC revoked the licence of CKLN-FM for regulatory non-compliance. The decision was appealed to the Federal Court of Canada, which denied the appeal on April 15, 2011. The CRTC subsequently issued a call for applications to occupy the now-vacant 88.1 FM frequency on September 28, 2011.[7] Trust Communications filed an application to launch a new Christian music radio station in Toronto.[8] The CRTC rejected Trust Communication's application on September 11, 2012, in favour of a new station, CIND-FM, owned by Rock 95 FM.[9]
