The first application for a licence to operate Newfoundland Broadcasting was made to the Newfoundland Commission
of Government in 1946. At that time Newfoundland was a British Crown Colony. The application was denied on the
grounds that the Governmnet of the Colony had no rights granted it by the Crown to approve or issue licences for
private commerical radio stations. In 1949 Newfoundland ceased to be a colony and joined Confederation to become
the 10th Province of Canada. Once again Newfoundland Broadcasting applied but this time was granted a license in
January 1951. On October 11, 1951 the new AM radio station CJON, with a small staff numbering approximately 18, started broadcasting in St. John’s. The studios were located in what was known at the time as the Prince of Wales Building located in Buckmasters Circle, St. John’s. The Transmitter, then 5000 watts, was fed the signal by telephone line to the site at Groves Road, some 4 miles away. |
