CHMT-FM

CHMT-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 93.1 FM in Timmins, Ontario. The station, owned by Haliburton Broadcasting Group, broadcasts an Classic Hits format as Moose FM. The Haliburton Broadcasting Group was licenced by the CRTC in February 2001 to open up a new English language commercial FM radio station in Timmins. The station originally launched in 2001 as an adult contemporary station branded as Mix 93. Some contemporary hit radio musical selections were dayparted into evening and overnight periods. However, around the same time as CHMT's launch in 2001, Telemedia moved the competing CKGB to FM as well, flipping from a country to an adult contemporary format. Briefly, CHMT responded by playing at least one country song an hour; eventually, amid competition between the two stations for audience share and advertising revenue, CHMT adopted the Moose FM name and a country music format in 2002. In 2005, Haliburton won a license for a new FM station at 106.3 in North Bay, for which they proposed a format based on that of CHMT. The station launched in 2006 under the call letters CFXN.
