CRTC approves the sale of Bell Stations to Durham Radio

Durham Radio Inc. has officially given approval to purchase three stations from Bell Media, in Peterborough and Lindsay. Bounce Radio Lindsay, Move Radio Peterborough and Pure Country Peterborough.

Durham Radio has previously said that there will be no format changes and they will maintain 100 hours a week of local programming on each station. They are planning to increase the local presence at each of the stations.

Once Durham radio officially takes over the stations, I expect Pure Country will change names to KX Country. Not sure about Bounce or Move. If Durham radio plans to increase programming I am hoping they add live shows to more times of the day and they run the stations similar to how they operate Rock 94.9 with all the shows and specialty programs they have.

This is going to be a good move for them. I look forward to hearing the changes.
