CHHR-FM is a Canadian radio station. Licenced to Vancouver, British Columbia and operating at 104.3 FM, the station serves the Metro Vancouver area. CHHR broadcasts with an ERP of 10000 watts with an HAAT of 600m. The station has an adult album alternative format. CHHR is owned by Astral Media and uses the brand, 104.3 Shore FM.
The station was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on May 30, 2008.[1] The station started test transmissions at 104.1 MHz on June 1, 2009. The station officially went on the air on July 1, 2009.
On January 14, 2010, CHHR changed frequency to 104.3 MHz in a swap with KAFE, a Bellingham, Washington station.[2] The move was required to reduce interference between KAFE and KMCQ 104.5 in Covington, Washington.[3]
In 2011, Astral Media proposed the takeover of CHHR from Shore Media Group. On September 28, 2011, the proposal was rejected by the CRTC. On December 19, 2011, Astral announced on their website that they had acquired the ownership rights of Shore 104.3 for $13.4 million. The takeover was completed in early 2012. [4] As of February 2, the station web site reads, "We’re making changes to make Shore FM a better radio station. We appreciate your patience. For now, we’re playing even more of your favourite Shore music. If you have suggestions or ideas on what you’d like to hear on Shore FM let us know...."
