The Name
There are a few Spirit FM's out there! Total Change Ministries Inc. bought
the equipment, programs etc. from Terry Fleming formerly of "Spirit 97 FM"
Lethbridge Alberta - the 2nd Spirit FM hook name in North America. What is
a hook name? Glad you asked, In Canada all radio stations have a legal name
that begins with "C" such as CKWX or CFCP CFUN (except Internet stations and
some that existed in Newfoundland before becoming a part of Canada. Many radio
stations also have hook names in addition to their legal names. For example,
"The River" is a hook name which is in many cities, then there are others
"Spirit FM", "Magic FM" Jack F.M. etc. A hook name cannot be registered or
copywritten. See Terry's notes page
or press link below to learn of our call letters and frequency applied for.
Internet Radio
One year ago Total Change Ministries Inc. purchased the programs, equipment and transmitter from Terry Robert Fleming. Terry our consultant setting up the NEW Spirit FM and providing training in operating the automated programs (which was and is a massive job). That is has been ongoing. The outcome is Internet Christian radio in Campbell River B.C. since June 2009.
Broadcast FM
Our application is more than under way to the various government agencies to establish a broadcast FM station. If granted the FM station will be CHVI-FM (Spirit 88 FM) at 88.7 As of March 12th 2010 our application to the CRTC for Spirit-FM as a LPFM (Low Power FM) is going to be heard May 12th, 2010. It is official when the applicant is listed on the CRTC web site which we officially are. PRESS HERE to go there. There are two places (easy to spot) on this web site where you can listen to the NEW Spirit FM. We hope you enjoy the great Christian contemporary music, plus some Praise & Worship and some Christian rock for the youth at night mixed in. See our official application here!
Our Engineer
Terry Fleming made the suggestion we hire Roger De Brabant his former chief engineer from Timmins Ontario. Roger is well repsected in the business for Low Power FM stations in Canada with a high success rate. The CRTC respect him and visa versa. Roger also owns one FM Christian station in Timmins Ontario and "The Good News Network" with 15 repeater stations throughout Ontario and western Canada Most (but not all) Christian LPFM stations on the air in Canada are due to Roger. Roger's success rate in Canada getting LPFM stations on air is close to an incredible success rate of 99.8% and this year because Montreal didn't make it goes back to 98.9%. Surely God has Blessed Roger for what he is doing bringing CHRISTian radio to Canada.
