Expansion
Trust Communications applied twice for a new station in Kitchener-Waterloo with its own schedule and studios, but these applications were rejected in favour of CJTW-FM.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2003/db2003-153.htm CRTC Decision 2003-153][http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2004/db2004-67.htm CRTC Decision 2004-67]
Trust Communications applied for a transmitter to serve the Inuit residents of Iqaluit, Nunavut with the first Christian station in the territory (which would rebroadcast CJLF-FM); however, this application was rejected.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2006/db2006-548.htm CRTC Decision 2006-548]
On September 28, 2011, the CRTC denied Trust's application to increase CJLF-FM-1's power in Owen Sound.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2011/2011-626.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2011-626]
On January 28, 2011, the CRTC revoked the licence of CKLN-FM for regulatory non-compliance. The decision was appealed to the Federal Court of Canada, which denied the appeal on April 15, 2011. The CRTC subsequently issued a call for applications to occupy the now-vacant 88.1 FM frequency on September 28, 2011.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2011/2011-625.htm Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2011-625] Trust Communications filed an application to launch a new Christian music radio station in Toronto.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2012/2012-126.htm Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2012-126] The CRTC rejected Trust Communication's application on September 11, 2012, in favour of a new station, CIND-FM, owned by Rock 95 FM.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2012/2012-485.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2012-485]
