BACKGROUND:
CJAM (which is governed by the Student Media/university of Windsor Corporation)
was founded in 1977. Before that it was CSRW; a carrier current AM station.
In Nov. 1983, CJAM became a low power FM station located at 91.5 on the
fm dial, and 91.9 fm on Trillium Cable. From 1983 through 1996 we broadcasted
at 50 watts. Our listening range was West and downtown Windsor, metro
Detroit; other parts of Windsor, Lasalle, Riverside, and Detroit suburbs
were reached to varying degrees of clarity. In 1996 we increased our power
to 500 watts, allowing us to be heard clearly in all sections of Windsor
and Essex county. See ,CJAM's
