Newcap wins two new stations


DARTMOUTH, N.S – The CRTC today granted two new radio station licenses to Newfoundland Capital Corporation’s Newcap Inc. to serve Sydney and Kentville.

The company also received approval from the CRTC earlier this week to convert its existing AM licence to FM in Carbonear, NL.

“These new licences in Nova Scotia represent our entry into the Sydney and Kentville markets and we are eager to serve each by giving an additional voice to community groups and local organizations there. We will launch these new FM stations and convert the Carbonear, NL station to the FM band as soon as possible,” said company president and CEO Rob Steele, in a release.

In approving Newcap, the Commission also denied a numer of competing applications for Sydney, including one led by Evanov Radio.
