CHCN-FM was a community radio station that broadcast at 106.9 FM in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The station was planned to be run by the local Cole Harbour District High School,[1] and its call letters meant "Cole Harbour Community Network."[2]

Owned by the Cole Harbour Community Radio Society, the station was originally granted a licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in 2000,[3] but faced some initial delays getting on the air. The station was granted licence amendments in 2001 to change its transmitter location and lower its power[4] and to extend the time limit on its planned launch date.[5]

The licence was subsequently revoked in 2003 at the station's request.[6] The licence was reinstated in 2010. [citation needed]

The station was later branded Sackville Country Radio. [citation needed]

Closure

[edit]

CHCN-FM has not broadcast on 106.9 since 2012. [citation needed] The fate of the station is not known. As of October 20, 2024, the frequency remains open, but the call letters have been taken by a station in Montreal Lake, Saskatchewan.
